Chris Matthews is really, really starting to creep me out. He reminds me of an older relative of mine who has no filters on anything he says and so consequently says some very inappropriate things without realizing it. We've heard before that John McCain is very popular with the press corps simply because he's always been very accessible to them, but this is simply taking things a little too far:
There he is! Senator McCain! You know you’re in my heart. I have to tell you, the President gave your speech tonight. He talked about we got to cut the number of earmarks in half or I’m going to veto the bill, he talked about..about the war against terrorism, he talked about reform. It was…he didn’t talk about much about the global economic challenge right now. In fact, he said basically we’ll get through this like you do. It was your speech, Senator.

Embarrassing and you know he feels the same way about Guiliani, Bush, etc.
What a freakin' right-wing tool he is. Why did Stephanie Miller even bother apologizing to Tweety? And self-closeted? *snort*
Matthews is pathetic.
Good lord. How many times, in how many ways, can the man embarrass himself?
He's not even faithful in his man-crushes! Bush, Thompson, McCain, whoever's on to trash Hillary...
And youll be in my heart
Yes, youll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
Youll be in my heart
No matter what they say
Youll be here in my heart
Always
Will somebody,please, just lock Tweety up and save us from this misery.
If you read the rest, it sounds like Matthews is saying that McCain = Bush.
That does NOT sound like a compliment.
Why does this remind me of that one Rod Stewart song?
Oh, for crying out loud! Anyone have a barf bag handy? Sheeshe, and this man calls himself some kind of journalist?
It's time for Matthews to perform live televised ball licking. Just get on with it.
Chris, you are such a fluffer.
It isn't your heart that you really want to give these manly men.
He sure does like him some man-flesh.

You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul
You're an essay in glamour, please pardon the grammar, but you're every schoolboy's dream
You're Celtic, United, but baby I've decided you're the best team I've ever seen
And there have been many affairs, many times I felt to leave
But I bite my lip and turn around, 'cause you're the warmest thing I ever found
(muyst be a rod stewart fan)
"He reminds me of an older relative of mine who has no filters on anything he says and so consequently says some very inappropriate things without realizing it"
I had no idea that Nicole and I were related...
Matthew's "you're in my heart" is no more offensive than his idiotic comments about Condeleeza Rice as a VP Candidate!
Let's face it... just about everything that comes out of Tweety's mouth is aural garbage.

myiq2xu @ 8:
Great minds think alike.
Tweety: Senator, you know you're in my heart?
McCain: Well, thank-you. I just put on a fresh load of Aqua Velva this morning.
Tweety: Do you like gladiator movies?
This punk will end up on Fox, just wait. He's a natural for that crowd.
Mathews is so far in bed with every politician that his show can no longer be called "Hardball". It should be called "LickBalls"
Left&Left @ 19:
Wow... How about O'Reilly, Hannity and Tweety all on together "discussing" politics?
Yikes.
"It was…he didn’t talk about much about the global economic challenge right now. In fact, he said basically we’ll get through this like you do. It was your speech, Senator."
Yep, it was just like McCain. Bush, like McCain know nothing about economics besides saying to the public "don't worry, we'll get through this." That statement will not get a vote of confidence from me thats for sure.
"You're in my heart", daddy figure?
Obviously, it's not his ball that is hard.
Twit.
Matthews reminds me of someone from a christopher guest film.

Its the smell of Ben Gay. Nothing turns guys like Matthews on like the smell of Ben Gay and the squishy sound of depends.

You see, only earmarks during a Democratic Congress majority is Evil.
A republican President's veto power should only be wielded at a Democratic majority in Congress.
And Up or Down votes are only for a Republican controlled Congress. Only a republican minority should be allowed a filabuster.
Republican children with adult powers that American's too casually give them with no accountability.
Some Dems are in that as well....................you listening Joe Leiberman?
Ben @ 8:
Uhm because it is the first line of the song?
Remember Tweety's response to Elizabeth Edwards when she came on to ask why he doesn't want to cover her husband's campaign?
"You have a very pretty face."
This was not just an innocent compliment, this was a total dismissal of her argument, as if to say, "yes, you have opinions, and I think that's adorable."

Or the chorus :)
The Mathews / McCain Song

Matthews must have struck out with CNBC's Erin Burnett so now he is going for the old foggies like John McCain.
Matthews and his man-crushes -- he slobbers all over them.
*
I honestly think he has brain damage from living and breathing nothing but politics for ~30 years of his life. When you absorb yourself in that world so completely for so long, your sense of social graces and good judgment are inevitably damaged.
The day when McCain drops out of the race cannot come soon enough.
The prospect of hearing about (I don't watch this crap, myself) Chris Matthews' and his ilk ass-licking like this for another twenty years depresses the hell out of me.
And it's only going to get worse.
I bet the whole damn room smelled of Depends last night. Bush basically said "Trust me" -- and during these speeches is the only time Congress gets calloused hands -- from applauding interminably.
I feel sorry for Tweety's wife, how does she stand it?
CalGeorge @ 34:
Agreed. It used to be that being called a kiss ass or a brown noser was a bad thing. With todays media, its a badge of honor and Matthew's lets the whole world know exactly where his lips and nose are.
Even Keith Olbermann has got to be ready to include Matthews in his "Worst Persons in the World" segment.
andy @ 24:
You know, i thought Nicole's comment hit it on the head, but BAM!
Exactly. It's like he's on Reno 911!, trying to think of stupid shit to say.
kablooie @ 35:
She probably relies on friends a lot - Senator Craig's wife, BOR's wife, etc.
"Starting"?
Yellow Elephant Safari @ 18:
Classic!
Jesus Christ, Matthews. Just fellate him and get it over with.
Nice to see the comedy writers posting to this thread. Thanks for the laughs! Seriously.
CalGeorge @ 34:
I think there is a very good chance that McCain will be appointed as our next president.
He loves war and he's going senile. He's a perfect replacement for Bush.

Tweety's new themesong:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRpzKXEmuWE
The irony is any complaints registered to MSNBC are seen as just more reasons to keep him on the air.
What a backward-ass country we live in!
“He reminds me of an older relative of mine who has no filters on anything he says and so consequently says some very inappropriate things without realizing it”
Are you suggesting mccan't has dementia or tourette syndrome?
What does it tell you about both these nuts when Straight Talk grins ear to ear gladly accepting the fact that "this was his
speech !" given by the worst president in the history of america.
goatsage @ 47:
Crap gets sucked up your sphincter?
McCain is one of the worst flip-floppers on record.Its embarrassing.
http://therealmccain.com/
Matthews goes for men wearing aqua velvet. Remember he said so. He must be a bottom
The capture of that screen image is frightening. As a white man who is 50, I can say from my heart that old white men should not be allowed on TV commenting about anything other than
Viagra. They look pervy and semi retarded.
I refuse to watch Mathews period! He loves hearing his own voice and speaks for the confused neo-cons. Hopefully one of these days MSNBC will drop that fool and install a true Independant that makes both Liberals and Conservatives squirm in their seats. See ya, you screaming idiot!!
Republicans create myths. Brain damaged, Altzheimer Reagan is now a myth; and the name of god knows how many airports. McCain a bomber who was captured, was turned into some sort of a myth as well. They will no doubt turn bush into a myth. There will be something called the bush Center for international studies.....Can you see it? A marble statue of this dumbass will look like a statesman.
Matthews and McCain sitting in a cage, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!
Chris Matthews...wants to try out McCain's wide stance....
Sorry, its gone beyond man crushes....Matthews & Spitball are de-facto Fox Noise rip-offs...
Having Michael Moore on every once in a blue moon does not make you a 'moderate' or whatever the (insert word here) Matthews claims he is....
If Spitball viewers & Matthews apologists think he's in the middle...than base jumping off the Sears Tower without a parachute is going to be the next big thing with the younger generation...
ysbaddaden @ 45:
I immediately thought of this one...

And in that cage are they wearing leather harnesses that form a t-back in the backside, and in the front an extra studded "appendage" attached to their wide belts?
There is a disorder common in older people (I'm 70 before you shriek agism) that causes them to say inappropriate things and use inappropriate phraseology though they know it's wrong. It's as though there are no brakes on the tongue.
I don't care if a bobblehead is Republican, Democrat or Monarchist. Being a cheerleader in a political campaign is inappropriate for anyone wanting to be thought of as a serious pundit.
Matthews just isn't old enough to have that excuse. IMO, it's time for NBC to let him go Faux News, where his heart is.
ThunderMonkey @ 57:
Peter Gabriel was better unless you're an American Psycho.
It really is becoming homo-erotic. Seriously. I think it's because McCain is a perceived "war hero", with the POW cachet on top of it, while Matthews is right straight of the East Coast white-boy prep school
background. Especially since as a Catholic, Matthews packs that old "guilt" hangup, and on top of it was at one point in his life, a liberal...so, boy he's looking for expiation via someone like McCain. Underscoring this, was his parting words to McCain last night: "Good luck in the Florida primary, that really takes courage." Courage? Fits right in with my thesis above. Classic homo-eroticism (in my mind, at least).
I didn't watch the chimp tell his lies last night but if you string together 8 or 10 reslug talking points along with the various slogans the dopey douche bag has been blathering since he and his buddies cheated him into office then repeat them ad-nausea, I suspect you'd have something almost identical to what he actually stuttered, grunted and stumbled over on live tv yesterday. And don't forget to add the peevishness, whining and thinly veiled attacks on anyone his owners don't like.
The big thing peeps were laughing at today, and there is so much to laugh at when it comes to the chimp, is the big sloppy kiss he got at the end of his speech from a reslug politician.
It was suggested Larry Craig is home watching that scene over and over... with a big bottle of lotion at his side.
I suggest tweety will be doing the same when he goes home later.
As for mcInsane, tweety is right, it's his speech. . . because it's the same partisan reslug crap they've been spewing for decades and if crazy grampa were the presidunce it would be up to him to read it. Same crap, different asshole.
It's like a circular thing, Tweety has McWar in his heart and McWar has Tweety's head of his ass.
goatsage @ 46:
They probably count all incoming responses as proof that alot of people are watching & therefore, Tweety is popular. That's what they do with fan mail to actors on entertainment shows. Doesn't matter what the content is, it's all counted the same. "Fire that a-hole!" counts the same as "He's just wonderful." Quantity over quality. How can Olbermann stand playing 2nd fiddle to that misogynistic foaming-at-the-mouth moron?
ThunderMonkey @ 57:
That bass rhythm in the beginning, has an almost cello feel. I wonder if they used a cello or some other instrument?
It's like a circular thing, Tweety has McWar in his heart and McWar has Tweety's head in his ass.
Is the posting going reeeeaaaalllyyyy slow, or am I one of those old guys that Romney was talking about in the last thread.
I'll come back later when it speeds up.
Since Fredrick of Hollywood has left the race, Tweety needed a new man-crush. McCain is just going to be a rebound relationship.
I'm surprised Matthews is so articulate what with his mouth full of McCain's cock.
The problem with Matthews is he just rambles on and on and doesn't know when to be quiet. He gets more talking done in his hour-long show than most of the anchors talk in a 24 news cycle on CNN Headline News.
I think we should just go ahead and slip Tweety some ecstasy about 20 minutes before he goes on the air.
isn't that kind of a backhanded compliment..?
he says bush largely ignores the global economy in his speech and concentrates on earmarks, war on terror... most of the country is concerned about the economy, so for that to be McCain's speech isn't exactly ass-kissing.
This is not journalism.
Think how more well off this country would be, the people of the country, would be if we had real independent journalists on the MSM reaching the types of audiences they reach. Instead we get this E~Entertainment shit from Tweety and his boyhood crush personality. Damn.
We need honest investigative journalism in the MSM.
Good Lord! What a fickle lover this man is. First it was Fred Thompson, then it was Guiliani and now his heartthrob is McCain. These manly odors must really do it for Tweety - I wonder if he realizes how ridiculous he is!
You guys are the dummies. You all actually watch him (Tweety Bird). Tune him out, and don't watch him anymore, I dare you all to do it for ONE WEEK! Turn your TV off when he's on, is that so hard to do?
Is tweety gay? Not that there is anything wrong with that. I just wonder sometimes.
Coming this fall to MSNBC...(cue mood music).....in the past there was Joanie loves Chachi.....then we grew to love friends...from the creator of Dumb and Dumber comes a romantic comedy fun for the whole family....Tweety Loves Johnny!!
C.M. = CORPORATE MEDIA ......... which is doing all they can to get McCain installed as the next president. So of course the CORPORATE MEDIA in the form of Chris .. C .. Matthes .. M ........... can only do what it is paid to do: to be a corporate slut .. pants down, bent over, ever lurching in front of McCain or any other of it's man crushes, spreading its ass checks open, and squeaking 'fuck me' , 'fuck me' ... 'me, me, me' like a little kid competing with his brothers and sisters ... the rest of the CORPORATE MEDIA ... for the candy that their Father has brought home ...
I seriously think Chris needs a CAT scan of his brain, even better, an MRI and I'll tell you why. He's been acting more and more like he's had a stroke. Cerebral Vascular Accidents as they are called, can sometimes affect the part of the brain that controls thinking and speech resulting in a person who looks completely normal but who blurts out completely uncontrollable crazy thoughts. We already know he's a diabetic and people with that disease are much more prone to strokes than the average person. So, Chris get the test now, before you have the really big one!
You guys are the dummies. You all actually watch him (Tweety Bird). Tune him out, and don’t watch him anymore, I dare you all to do it for ONE WEEK! Turn your TV off when he’s on, is that so hard to do?
Speak for yourself; I can't stand to watch Chris Matthews and it's hard to remember he used to write speeches for Jimmy Carter.
I find out about this fool by letting John, Nicole and the rest of the posters on the C&L staff suffer through his shyt on "SoftBall" and post their reactions here.
it's always so interesting to read these matthews-bashing threads. yeah, the guy blubbers on and on, cuts people off, and says inappropriate things, but he's not right-wing. he's very obviously sympathetic to progressive causes. every day he rails against the things that conservatives hold dear. not once have i heard him display anything but contempt for things like the war or the scooter libby affair. and he's always going on and on about how great obama is while mocking people like huckabee.
the guy is just in love with himself and with politics. but just because he says a nice thing to a conservative does not, in turn, make him a conservative. look at his history. he worked for carter and tip o'neill, among others. the guy is an old-school democrat.
i distinctly remember him telling once keith olbermann how much he loved him and how he reminded him of edward r. murrow. matthews just loves politics, and he likes to use hyperbolic compliments. that's all.
casting the guy as a right-winger just because he dares to say something nice to a righty is just a mistake. god, last night on fox news brit hume was running back a piece of tape of the SOTU, trying to read nancy pelosi's lips, assuming she had criticized the president under her breath. people like that should be attacked, not chris matthews.
just because he doesn't fall in line in a completely partisan way (like olbermann) does not mean he's a bad guy. if he creeps you out, fine, i understand that. but don't let that color your opinion of the content of what he says.
Tweety to mccan't, "You're in my heart?"
I always thought mccan't seemed as wooden as a stake.
Weaseldog @ 65:
Whisky jug.
I can't even imagine him talking anything like that to a Dem, can you?
ysbaddaden @ 83:
I hear the Barney theme song...............
The thing about Tweety's man-crushes is that he never learns. He has them on politicians who, years later, he ends up turning against; yet he keeps on having them. He was probably having a man-crush on Bush 8 years ago. And, if he winds up talking about the collapse of the McCain presidency 8 years from now, he will be having one on somebody else.
If McCain becomes preznit, God forbid, Tweety can be his first press secretary.
Gee, Tweety, why don't you just go down on him on prime time natioanl TV? That's what you want to do, isn't it?
NBC is such a clownact.
Right winged tool, and he loves bush in a flight suit with his massive cod piece. Tap, tap, tap, wide stance anyone?
McCain said "my friend" to Tweety and Tweety fell in love! BTW is Tweety married?
rolo_tommasi @ 90:
the guy has been a democrat for thirty or forty years. what are you talking about?
I am to the Left of the Democratic Party. I actively rail against the Republican Party. But give Matthews a break. Yes, he supports McCain. He has all along. But that doesn't make him the spawn of Satan. And it doesn't make him a Neo-Conservative wingnut. It probably just makes him a guy who is to your right. He's a standard traditional Goldwater Conservative who is to the right of Democrats but to the left of the Neo-Cons. He's a profoundly moderate guy. Matthews is constantly praising Democrats, constantly giving praise to both sides of the aisle. It's not a crime in this country not to be Progressive. I'll disagree with you if you aren't. But I won't want to vilify you or call to have you fired from your job. All too often this site descends into hyperbole that is as ridiculous as anything we see from the farthest reaches of the American right.
Are we really sure this isn't an incredibly clever, sarcastic put-down by Matthews? I mean, look at it:
Bush talked 'earmarks' and 'vetos', he talked about the 'war on terrorism', he talked about 'reform'. But he didn’t talk about the global economic challenge, the biggest thing crippling America right now, instead just blandly muttering vaguely that we’ll get through this... somehow... no clue...
Could it be that Matthews was subtly pointing out that Bush's catastrophic failures were McCain's? That a demoralized nation needs more than tired hyperbole? That 'It's the economy, stupid', is back as our number one concern right now...? Oh, I'm stunned! How devishly devious, what a master of mockery...
...Oh, wait. It's Matthews.
I forgot, sorry.
first fred thompon and now mccain...jeeze, tweety's such a slut.
I think I'm going to be physically ill.
nocore @ 93:
thank you. i started out really loving this site, but recently it seems that there is a large group of people here that have no tolerance for anything that strays from total, complete intolerance of anyone who is not super-lefty. this is the kind of stuff obama's talking about when he says he can't even mention that a republican had an idea without being attacked.
i think people need to realize that matthews is just a weird guy, but he's not to be hated for that.
it's just funny that a lot of people here think he's a right-winger. not even close.
Pull your shirt open, Senator. Tweety wants biddie.
Tweety has a Heart-On for any smelly old man.
McCain really does have an illegitimate child...it's Tweety!
tony @ 97:
I would like to echo these sentiments. I find it incredibly telling that the rhetoric issued against anyone in the media or in government who speaks kindly or positively towards someone from the "other" party often is an exact mirror of the same comments and tactics used on so called right wing forums and blogs. Perhaps the reason the United States has collapsed into the depths of partisan politics and contempt for one another is that no one is willing to listen to other opinions. I guess your either with us or against us, right C&L?
They should get a room. "GASP"!!!, the back of the bus, why is it so popular?
I'm glad to see that Tweety hasn't dropped his facade of independent objectivity.
Chrissy is hoping for a McCrazy/LIEberman ticket. Just watch.
Tweety hearts St. McCain? Holy Crappola! Someone give me a big bucket! I'm about to hurl a big one!
Time for a song dedication.
"I didn't know what day it was, when you walked into the room..."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaJpkup4IsI
Yes, it was McCain's speech, and it sucked just as much as if George Bush had given it.
Yellow Elephant Safari @ 18:
I can't stop laughing!! Sides splitting. Hubby was just talking this morning about Tweety and his Aquavelvet and stale cigar smoke comments about Fred Thompson.
Does Tweety have kids? God, they must be so embarrased of him.
Another thought:
What do you think Tweety's gonna think/feel in the "white light?" His soul will go insane.
I think little tweety uttered the same sentiment while at school on Mt St. James (Holy Cross)....I believe he was fond of saying this to those little meatballs in the family style cauldron, put down on the family style table at dinner time.....oh sweet meatballs, "you're in my heart"....that he was swirley'd later on is of no consequence to this vignette...
Tweety is married to his queen, Kathleen (his words) and he totally falls all over her and seems to hang on to her every word (when she gets a chance to talk).
I'm having more of a problem tolerating Joe and Mika lately.She is so over bearing and of course has her favorite in Obama and never shuts about it. She sure is Daddy's little girl and is helping him out with the endorsement of O. They were on 6 hours this A.M. I know, I know ....change the station !!
I wonder if his "queen" kathleen was a dancer at the Golden Banana in Worcester during his undergraduate days...?
Quite a contrast from the bias and venom he treats Hillary Clinton to.
Matthews is only . . . just now . . . STARTING to creep you out???
From what galaxy have you just returned?
Will this old disgusting man, retire after he realizes that he will never be President?
Hardball guy likes white men with His tory power, no foul
Nicole, Tweety is just starting to creep you out.
You've got a pretty high threshold.
John McCain is in my heart, too: heartburn.
Tweety's just trying to suck his way into a future Rethug press secretary job. Enjoy Dana Perino while you can...
fastfeat @ 119:
I know I could.
fastfeat @ 119:
Let me hold on to that thought (Perino is yummy).
and now that the field has begun to narrow, McCain's name takes up more spaces in the margins of the Hello Kitty notebook that Tweety keeps just out of the camera's field of vision.
"You are in my heart"? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Matthews has some serious issues and his attempt to play up to McCain is another example on how far he has gone off the reservation. This guy is a warmonger for God's sake yet Matthews fries Hillary for her vote on the war everytime he has the chance. He is downright rotten to her campaign and suspends any objectivity that a campaign deserves. Yet he is so forgiving of the likes of McCain, Giuiliani, Thompson, et al. I gave up on Matthews long ago. Wish MSNBC would do the same and insert Rachel Maddow into that timeslot.
Clay Peck @ 37:
Keith Olbermann is the biggest sack of feces on the planet... ok, second biggest, Hillary is the biggest!
Did you ever notice how the spittle collects on his lower lip when he talks? Or when he asks a guest a question and then interrupts them to answer the question himself? He really doesn't need guests, does he? What he does need is a rag to wipe the spittle off his lip when he talks to himself.
