Did Chris Matthews call Bush a whackjob when he said crusades?
He just called the head of Iran a whackjob. And the guy might well be, but for the love of Pete, does the media need to do their version of "Bring it On"? No wonder countries don't care for America and Americans.

I guess America and diplomacy don't fit together any more. I mean, we sent John Fucking Bolton to the UN!

1. Someone who hosts a TV show called "Hardball" is supposed to be
diplomatic? Huh?

2. Playing hardball with someone present is one thing
Volleying a shot like that from the hip, I guess that is the Nationalistic American thing to do these days.

5. He has an audience that fits into a small auditorium. His show is set
up so that he can shoot from the hip and get people to say things they wouldn't say on a more formal setting. That's what the producers are aiming for.

3. Chris is ready for a rumble!
I wonder if he's going to send his kids to fight in the Bush Crusades?

You know, he could simply report on the political situation in Iran and let people decide for themselves if this guy is a 'whackjob'. But no, Chris needs to pimp for General Electric while WE fight and die. Sick.

13. Linsdsey Graham was spectacular in defending
Alito in an almost sacramental way. You don't throw words around like "racist." Lindsey the Saint.

GRRRRRR!! Graham is unethical. He is a tool of bush. He does NOT believe in habeas corpus. Does anyone have Hardball's phone number or fax???
