Fierce GOP critic Chris Matthews of MSNBC got into a confrontation with some delegates to the convention early Friday morning and showed why he is a hypersensitive lout.
The Hill:
Matthews told The Hill in a phone interview that after he left the restaurant, he heard a group of guys "heckling" and "hooting and hollering" at him.
He headed back into the restaurant to mix it up with them. "I wanted to confront them," Matthews said, describing his exchange with the men as "towel-snapping" among guys.
Matthews said he told the rowdy group, "What's this, a douchebag convention?"
How classy. It gets better:
In a statement emailed to The Hill on Friday afternoon, Matthews said, "I was talking to this 2 a.m. get-together of loud-talking people who had been heckling me from inside a restaurant and were now huddled together around a table. It was that get-together, right there in front of me; that was the 'convention' I was towel-snapping about. When The Hill called me and suggested I might have been referring to the Republican National Convention I couldn't believe it. That's wrong."
He added, "I was trying in my way to engage, as I often do, with critics, hoping to find some common ground. Sometimes it works out better than this."
Sal Bacarella, who was in town to attend the convention, told The Hill that when Matthews entered the restaurant, New York City Councilman Eric Ulrich, a GOP delegate, waved to him. But Matthews snubbed Ulrich, according to Bacarella.
Ulrich then attempted to acknowledge Matthews as the "Hardball" host exited the restaurant, a gesture that Matthews answered with a "dirty look," prompting loud boos from other delegates at the restaurant, Bacarella said.
One convention-goer yelled out "hey, a--hole,".............

You mean Crissy doesnt really live in the ghetto?
Youve got that diabolic smile of yours, and you know you think youre winning here, but everybody out there whos black or white know exactly the game thats being played here.
He needs serious help. He should admit it, and then get it, or he should be taken off the air. No one should have to deal with this nonsense - though Newt handled it well enough.
Crissy has never lived down that stupid “thrill down my leg
remark, and it seems to be driving him crazier every day. Also, he knows his man-crush Obama is going to lose, his network is in the basement, and his own “career” is nearly over. He’s got a lot to be crazy about. We probably won’t get to see an on-air breakdown, but he may take a “long vacation” in the near future.
“Is he going to go back into a restaurant and confront a bunch of customers? You bet.”

If that little P***y wants to confront me I will show him the way to the nearest ICU. I am quite a bit older that that a$$hole but I haven’t forgotten how to do it.
If he keeps this behavior up, he’ll eventually learn that lesson. Well, maybe he won’t learn it, just experience it...
Whats this,a douchebag convention?
I read that one of the GOP folks at the table replied “no thats next week” Good comeback.
Ergo, he looks awful.
At his age, guy needs to get away, go off into the countryside somewhere, and learn to be someone else for a change. Be a shame to die and go to hell just for being an unreflective ***hole who led an unexamined life.
“.......The gang at MSNBC savaged the president with a sense of despair mixed with anger that their man had let them down. If Obama has lost Chris Matthews, he’s lost liberal America.”
