Don't you people have a sense of humor?

What's wrong with you? I just saw tweety guffawing and giggling about those who don't want SS cut. He couldn't contain himself as he called Bernie Sanders and others throwbacks to 1968. Dana Milbank was also very amused that anyone would object.

Hey Tweety...you fell in line about Iraq and you're falling in line now. You have no right to laugh or sneer at anyone, let alone Bernie Sanders.

Jerk.

He usually has good guests with interesting idea - when he let them speak and not screams at them.

Yesterday he had a young woman from Newtown, a sister of one of the teachers, and who really was quite articulate.

And, for a change, he let her speak after telling her that "whole Washington" is watching his program so this was her chance..

and so was Dana Milbank. I honestly don't know what the difference is betweeen this and Romney's 47 percent comments. Laughing at someone is just as disrespectful.

He was voted misinformer of the year by Media Matters in 2005. He beat out all the Republicans.

And NOT to disagree with her.

"We're all neo-cons now."

--MSNBC's Chris Matthews (4/9/03)

"We're proud of our president. Americans love having a guy as president, a guy who has a little swagger, who's physical, who's not a complicated guy like Clinton or even like Dukakis or Mondale, all those guys, McGovern. They want a guy who's president. Women like a guy who's president. Check it out. The women like this war. I think we like having a hero as our president. It's simple. We're not like the Brits."

--MSNBC's Chris Matthews, (5/1/03)

"Why don't the damn Democrats give the president his day? He won today. He did well today."

--MSNBC's Chris Matthews (4/9/03)

"What's he going to talk about a year from now, the fact that the war went too well and it's over? I mean, don't these things sort of lose their--Isn't there a fresh date on some of these debate points?"

--MSNBC's Chris Matthews, speaking about Howard Dean (4/9/03)
