Chris Matthews is a dumbfuck but I guess you all know that - re: Clinton in Iowa

[LynneSin]

Here's is Matthews reasoning:

Matthews: "Low 30 percent" result in Iowa for Clinton would mean "reject ... by two-thirds" of Iowa Dems
Summary: On Morning Joe, Chris Matthews asserted that if Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton were to "squeak" out a victory in the Iowa caucuses, she will nonetheless have been "rejected here in Iowa by two-thirds of the Democratic Party." Matthews added that she would be "lucky to get 33 percent" and went on to say that a "low 30 percent" result would represent "a resounding rejection" of Clinton.

So if I use Matthews fucked up mathematically philosphy that means....

62% of the Iowa Democrats rejected Barack Obama as a candidate. Ok it's not the 71% rejection that Hillary got or the 72% rejection of Edwards but when did 'not voting' for one candidate means that one will ultimately reject that candidate in the November General elections.

:grr:

1. He's like a rabid dog,

I can't watch Hardball anymore. Ick.

2. I love the fact that Chris's brother got trounced in the PA Governor race

PA governor race you elect both Governor and Lt. GOvernor as 1 ticket (like president/vp. Some states run them separately). Chris Matthew's brother Jim was the Lt. Governor for Lynn Swann (yes former Pittsburgh Steeler football player).

Swann & Matthews lost to Rendell & Knoll by 19pts.

7. ROFL

I love it too. Matthews belongs on KO's worst person list, along with O'Rielly.

3. He is so anti-Clinton it's disgusting!

He was so enthralled by bush's codpiece and thought Thompson looked so presidential, blah,blah,blah. What a whiny little twerp he is.

[madaboutharry]

4. He is bitter

When Bill Clinton was elected president, Matthews lobbied for an appointment as White House Press Secretary and was turned down. He has hated the Clintons ever since.

[peoli]

5. I love him

He dosent let Hillary campign people get away with all their bullshit either.

6. My SO was ready to throw the remote at the TV last night.

He's for Edwards and Tweety was talking shit .... I could hear him in the other room "FUCK YOU RIGHT WING TOOL".

We turned off the TV before the speeches. I think I'll stick to C-Span during the next round and into Novemeber.

[Major Hogwash]

8. Healthwatch - Not watching Matthews lie on tv lowers your blood pressure!!

I can personally testify to this.

Not only has Matthews lied about being against the war from the start - he was one of those who was promoting it - he doesn't have a clue as to what is going to happen next!!

Turn him off and it's just like shutting the door to the kindergarten class - quiet.

9. He dogged Rachel Maddow last night in my opinion...

He called her an "ideologue" not once, but twice.
I wish she would have walked across the studio and laid him out with one punch.
I think she could have knocked his ass out if she had the desire to do so.

"Ideologue" yeah right.

Hello? Tweety? Pot calling, meet kettle.

[chefgirl]

11. Yeah, Tweety's ego took a hit, for sure.

He dogged her because she stomped his dick when she said that a 'three way tie would mean that anyone of the Dems had been rejected by two thirds of the caucus goers'. She was absolutely right, and you could tell by the look on his face that she caught him completely flat-footed.

It was a great comeback, and one of the reasons I love to listen to her. She's quick on the draw, and ALWAYS has her shit together.

12. he'd been using that line for most of the day--she was the only one with the courage to confront him

about it.

[mikelgb]

10. Matthews was frothing at the mouth last night ofver the Clinton loss

oddly I also felt Keith Olbermann was trying to downplay the Obama win because he kept bringing up the fact that among Dems only the margin was 32/31... so there was bias all around

I saw a lot of genuine awe at Obama's speech though those objective jounalists

[Auntie Bush]

13. Matthews has made a concerted effort to find something anti-Hillary

to say. He'd down right vicious! He's also the only one to bad mouth Hillary's concession speech. Couldn't even say something nice about that...and everyone else thought it was great. So did I!
Matthews SUCKS, big time! He's always hated Bill and he's obviously transfered that hatred to Hillary. He shouldn't consider himself a journalist...he's too bias.
