MSNBC's "Hardball" host Chris Matthews suggested last night that the high point of President Bush's State of the Union Address - the emotional hug between grateful Iraqi voter Safia Taleb al-Suhail and Janet Norwood, mother of a Marine who died liberating her country - was staged by the White House.
The cynical host apparently first voiced his skepticism during a commercial break. His comments were immediately seized upon by "Hardball" guest, MSNBC contributor Pat Buchanan when the show returned.

Watching Chrissy after a good dinner is not good for your digestion.

Simply not true...I saw the mother today on GMA and when Diane asked that question, she said no...she didn't even know that the Iraqi woman would be there.

Maybe it was staged - So what? If it was they didn't count on the Dog Tags getting tangled up in the Iraqi Woman's dress. Better rehearsals needed.

I sent him and ronboy an email telling them what I thought of their disgusting suggestion. I also think they both owe these people and the president an apology for it. They make me sick.

Yeah, well the ballerina agreed with him and we all know how politically savvy he is. Poor Ronald and Nancy how could such great stock produce such a whinney girlieman!

Questioned on GMA this morning, Mrs. Norwood said that "the hug" was unplanned and purely spontaneous.

Clinton Staged hundreds of photo ops, from having his own folks throw american flags on the ground in Normandy over graves so Bubba could pick it up to the set of stones that miraculously appeared for him to create his cross.

Did you notice, though, that when Charlie Gibson was talking about the upcoming segment with the Marine's parents that he said "seemingly spontaneous" hug?
