Wow, who just watched Matthews' opening remarks for the 2nd hour of Hardball?

[Catch22Dem]

Holy shit! I've watched him off and on for 10 or 15 years I guess. I've never heard him talk like that about McCain, Bush, Rove, et al. Well done sir!

[Cleita]

1. What happened to KO and Countdown?

My guide says Countdown is supposed be on right now? Anyone know?

[gaiilonfong]

3. I think countdown is on at 9 n/t

[Kire]

22. The podcast will be available too

not sure when, but probably within 24 hours

I don't have cable, and if someone reads this thread a couple of days from now, it will be there too.

I bet somebody posts the video online soon, too.

[Berry Cool]

27. Nope, it got scrapped in favor of a second hour of Hardball.

The decision must have been made at some point this afternoon because Tweety was plugging it when he left the air at 4 ET.

No idea why.

Oh, and there's ANOTHER special Hardball TOMORROW.

[liberaldem4ever]

23. I was waiting for Countdown too

I wonder why they changed it. I would so rather see Keith.

[mzmolly]

2. What did he say?

I just turned on Football. LOL

[Catch22Dem]

8. Let's see if I can get it close

Talked about how Biden came out swinging and "hand cuffed McCain to GWB like Popeye Doyle handcuffs a street thug." HAHA

"if you vote for McCain you're saying 'three cheers and keep it up boys' to the Karl Roves who claim that any opposition is treason or appeasment..."

"tough stuff but it's what a lot of Democrats say is what's needed to counter all the stuff coming from the Republican side."

[grannie4peace]

14. thanks for typing that out

it was magnificent

[mzmolly]

18. Thanks

very much. :hi:

[Kire]

20. yes, Popeye Doyle

if you haven't seen the French Connection, or the French Connection 2 with Gene Hackman, it is now mandatory viewing.

I don't think John McCain would catch the guy in the end.

[PM7nj]

4. Someone earlier said Matthews has been making Olbermann look unbiased.

:rofl:

[writes3000]

5. He is hitting McCain and the Republicans HARD.

He LOVES Biden, in part, because of his Scranton roots.

Matthews loves PA.

[Cha]

16. That's right..Biden is a PA

homey!

[noel711]

24. Chris Matthews grew up in a PHilly neighborhood..

If you get Joe Biden, Eddie Rendell and Matthews together,
you have the equivalent of an IRish wake..'cept that Rendell is Jewish,
but what does that matter with old neighborhood guys..?

[jesus_of_suburbia]

6. I didn't hear it, but honestly Matthews worships Obama.. he's on our side.

I'll have to catch it later tonight.

I'm just not surprised. Chris said he gets tingles down his leg when he listens to Barack.

I think this is just the beginning. It's pretty obvious he's on our side.

[WheelWalker]

7. Just the beginning. And the landslide brought it down.

[Catch22Dem]

9. Oh and it gets better...

Rachel was talking about how right wing Bayh was and Matthews replies "I am your brother on those points"

[liberalmuse]

10. This is not the Chris Matthews I used to throw stuff at.

Who is this guy? He loves the Biden pick. Wait, isn't Chris Matthews Irish? Or maybe it's because Biden is a dominant manly man?

[grannie4peace]

11. he's pissed at mccain's dirty politics

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

12. Tweety likes Biden personally

and it is clearly affecting his slant on things. They're both PA guys with working class roots. Does anyone know if Tweets is Irish? Maybe that has something to do with it as well.

[featherman]

15. Two PA Irish Catholic boys .... no surprise Matthews is positive

[KoKo]

13. Is this the "Ultimate Thrill up his Leg?" What Happened????

:shrug:

[snowbear]

17. Tweety seems to love Biden as a pick...

.
.
.



He's mentioned how happy .. "the working people of SCRANTON, PENNSYLVANIA" will be with Biden on the ticket at least 10 million times today...

[democrat2thecore]

19. One thing you can't deny: Chris Matthews LOVES politics and it shows

[DainBramaged]

21. HERDBALL is on? Holy shit, I'm not missing anything

[marlakay]

25. i still keep wondering if tweety has changed because

msnbc seems to be more obama and he wants to keep his job. watching him the last few years he seems to be on which ever side is winning.

[ChiciB1]

26. Tweety Has ALWAYS Been A Democrat... He Just Went For The Moola!! n/t
