Hardball & three things Chris Mathews doesn't know

Mathews: Hi, I'm Chris Mathews and you're watching Hardball. We're going to cut to a commercial break and when we get back, my guests are going to tell me three things I don't know.

CUT TO: 17 commercials in a row.

Mathews: Welcome back, this is Hardball. Now, Guest #1, tell me something I don't know. . .

Guest #1: Well, Chris, one of the main things you don't know is that you're rude.

Mathews: I'm rude?

Guest #1: And obnoxious.

Mathews: Really? How so?

Guest #1: Well, first off, you're always interrupting your guests. You ask them a question, then you don't give them time to answer. You start cutting them off and interrupting them almost immediately.

Mathews: I do? Geez, I never noticed that! I'll give it some thought while we're on commercial break, then Guest #2 will tell me something I don't know. . .

CUT TO: 23 commercials in a row, including three of the same spot for the Jewelry Exchange in Tustin.

Mathews: Welcome back, I'm Chris Mathews and this is Hardball. Guest #2, tell me something I don't know. . .

Guest #2: I hate to be the one to break it to you, Chris, but you don't seem to have even a rudimentary grasp of the English language.

Mathews: Awww, c'mon now, that's a mute point --

Guest #2: And your grammar is atrocious!

Mathews: Ain't that the truth! We're just going to take a short break and when we return, Guest #3 will tell me something I don't know. . .

CUT TO: 27 commercials in a row.

Mathews: Well, that's it for tonight --

Guest #3: Hey, what about me?

Mathews: Sorry, we're out of time. I'm Chris Mathews and this is Hardball.

CUT TO: 33 commercials in a row.

I explain it this way:

Chris is that hated junkyard dog that keeps barking and barking and barking.

You lock him in the office.

And before you crush the car, you open the trunk to see if anything of value is in it.

And you find a dead body.


Serves a purpose, after a while you get to spot somebody who is Bullshiting

remember it is easy to tell the truth, but takes a lot of brain power to keep a lie going without detection

, but it is annoying for people and trying to make a point
