Chris Matthews's MSNBC "Lean Forward" commercial is????

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

Is this guy nuts?

paraphrasing: "Lincoln thought big. Lincoln said, 'Let's build the transcontinental railroad.' And we did it. We need to think like Lincoln."

OK, I get the sentiment--let's do a big public works program that will put thousands of people to work, etc..--but to use the transcontinental railroad as your example is, like, WTF are you thinking? Imported and exploited labor and railroad Robber Barons.

Makes me want to scream!!!

What a fucking idiot.

1. He should have used Eisenhower and the Interstate Highway.

2. For sure...

or Roosevelt and the National State parks he created. Tweety is getting to be a real j.o sometimes. I stopped watching him right after the election, when he said all that silly crap about Obama's speech. That was the last straw for me.

4. Indeed. He's shamefully pigbacking on the Lincoln hoopla...

And he can't see what an idiot he's made of himself.

Eisenhower is right there for the taking.

5. Imagine the outcry if he chose a "liberal" plan ...

3. Matthews didn't think this thing through. It's a problem when you get that BIG on your

network or cable show. You stop thinking through things you had to do when you were younger and leaner. You get lazy.

That's what I think is happening with him. And not just him, but the other "stars" as well...

It's a lesson for them all...
