Matthews: Limbaugh is the ‘squeal like a pig’ guy from ‘Deliverance’

MSNBC host Chris Matthews on Thursday compared conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh to the rapist character from the movie “Deliverance” who told his male victim to “squeal like a pig.”

In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy earlier this week, Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie had praised President Barack Obama, causing Limbaugh to rip the governor for playing “the role of a Greek column” and expressing “man-love” for the president.

On Thursday, Matthews reviewed the attack on Christie and mocked Limbaugh for sounding like a “walrus under water.”

“He reminds me more of the guy from ‘Deliverance’ — ‘squeal like a pig’ — than anybody,” the MSNBC host laughed. “It just seems that he’s squealing like a pig essentially. He knows he lost the day and he just wants to complain about it, bromance, suggestions of gay behavior. It’s absurdity, it’s high school.”

like a pig. Limbaugh is a wanna be rapist, not a rape victim.

I'm sure that's what Tweety meant, just couldn't get it out

Sometimes he says stuff that comes out a little bit wrong... but he feels strongly, and doesn't mince words, and I appreciate that.

His delivery drives me nuts, sometimes, but he lays it out there.

I sat next to him on a flight from JFK-SFO and he is a really cool guy. He loves what he is doing and told me that he really enjoys it when he just lets it run.
