Matthews is Drunk as a Skunk now on O'Hardball! Slurring speech,

[KoKo]

an eye that's more closed than the other eye, misquoting numbers and spacing out. He has renamed the show for today O'Hardball...and I guess he started partying early.

It's amazing..

[Coexist]

1. Hackett is up next.

[LSparkle]

8. Don't you mean "O'HACKETT"?

This whole "O'Hardball" thing is wearing a bit thin, but I did enjoy how Ron Christie just made a complete O'Jackass of himself ...

[Daphne08]

2. OMG, I think you're right.

:rofl:

[ewagner]

3. Aye, St Patty's day

n/t

[TechBear_Seattle]

4. More likely...

He is play-acting at being drunk in a not-so-subtle form of racist humor.

[karynnj]

9. Isn't he Irish?

[Pirate Smile]

15. Yes, but he doesn't drink anymore.

[maveric]

41. He doesnt drink any LESS!

[maxrandb]

44. Like W.C. Fields said

"Stopping drinking is the easiest thing in the world...I've done it a thousand times"

[MADem]

16. If he's behaving in that fashion, he needs to be ejected from the clan! NT

[Teaser]

13. Most of us Irish

take the "drinking" humor without much umbrage.

As long as its a joke.

Someone actually accuses my Daddy of being a drunk, I'll jam my elbow in his throat. As many times as I can.

[Reciprocity]

28. Hey TechBear_Seattle that's my avatar you are using. Cool!

[senseandsensibility]

5. Is he partying because it's Saint Paddy's Day

or to forget his boyfriend's poll numbers? Either way, he can't be any worse drunk than he is sober.

[GR]

6. He's Says He Doesn't Drink Anymore....Don't You Believe Him...

;-)

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. Chimpy claims the same.

;-)

[blm]

12. So does Bush - ain't drinking no more - no more, no less

.

[SammyWinstonJack]

38. !

:thumbsup:

[InsultComicDog]

7. Thanks for the alert

Switched to it now but there's a commercial on

[Catherine Vincent]

11. Hackett is on now.

Off topic - What a good looking fella!

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

24. "But not uncomfortably so" (Hackett skit on The Daily Show line)

[Digit]

14. I did not believe you at first, but he IS slurring his speech!

Geez

[MADem]

18. Well, he'd better be having a mini-stroke, then or he's as much of a liar

as his hero, Porgie!

[LSparkle]

21. You're right, and not talking as quickly as he usually does

and not making as much sense, either. (HA!)

Hackett mentioning Che Guevara now -- I LOVE THAT MAN (make that MEN; both Hackett and Guevara).

[babylonsister]

17. According to him, he doesn't drink and hasn't in awhile. ??? nt

[Poll_Blind]

19. "It's HIGHball with Chris Matthews!" Pull up a stool, bring yer liver!

Sad....

PB

[file83]

31. LOL! "Highball".....

:rofl:

[gatorboy]

20. O'RLY?

Tweety's an O'idiot. :P

[Chimichurri]

22. Hackett is a cutie! And yeah, O'Matthews did seem sauced up

[gulfbreeze]

23. You're not kiddin he's messed up!!!

I didn't believe you until I tuned in.

[KoKo]

25. Paul Hackett gave the best counter to Drunken Chris...I've ever heard

any Dem give. If our Dem DLC'ers don't want him...maybe the Cables will pick him up as our Democratic spokesperson. He's really fantastic....What a loss...but his time will come. ....What a speaker and articulator of what so many of us feel.

[KoKo]

36. Scarborough and Matthews say there were no Anti War Protests here in US

...and his "O'Hardball" was in honor of "ST. RONNIE!!!" That's how he ended his show! :puke:

[senseandsensibility]

40. How could they say that?

There were a million people maching in NYC on the eve of the war. Even the corporate media covered it, begrudgingly and briefly.

[karynnj]

45. And a similar number in DC the month before

But that's beyond there memory span.

[InsultComicDog]

26. Chris Matthews gave up drinking? Reminds me of this joke

An Irish man walks into a pub. The bartender asks him, "what'll you have?"

The man says, "Give me three pints of Guinness please."

So the bartender brings him three pints and the man proceeds to alternately sip one, then the other, then the third until they're gone. He then orders three more.

The bartender says, "Sir, I know you like them cold. You don't have to order three at a time. I can keep an eye on it and when you get low I'll bring you a fresh cold one."

The man says, "You don't understand. I have two brothers, one in Australia and one in the States. We made a vow to each other that every Saturday night we'd still drink together. So right now, my brothers have three Guinness Stouts too, and we're drinking together.

The bartender thought that was a wonderful tradition.

Every week the man came in and ordered three beers. Then one week he came in and ordered only two. He drank them and then ordered two more.

The bartender said to him, "I know what your tradition is, and I'd just like to say that I'm sorry that one of your brothers died."

The man said, "Oh, me brothers are fine----I just quit drinking."

[senseandsensibility]

29. LOL

I just told that to my Irish hubby. He loved it.

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

33. LOL

Good one.

[U4ikLefty]

37. LOL...whadda St. Patty's joke!!! n/t

[Daphne08]

39. Hahahahaha!!!

:rofl:

[KoKo]

46. I didn't' get it but MY "Irish Heritage" hubby was "ROFLHAO!"

at that one..

Thank God for the Irish...they kind of have a perspective that get's beyond it all and makes the "humor," don't they. :D

[KoKo]

47. Matthews Wife (that he exposed at end of show) looks like Katherine Harris

She's Cruella de Matthews.....:rofl:

She says Chris told her that she reminds him of GRACE KELLY!..

Look..not being cruel about the Matthews marriage but he does a show TRIBUTING ST. RONNIE REAGAN followed by he and his WIFEY at some FUNDRAISER...and we are all supposed to fall over dying at what a SAINT he IS?

His wife might be lovely...but she reminded me of "Cruella" Harris. :shrug:

She also seemed to have had the "DC FACELIFT."

[Daphne08]

49. Yes, my half-Irish husband just said, "Yes, that's the key to life."

He loved the joke as well. :D

[malaise]

43. Great joke

:rofl: :rofl:

[TexasLawyer]

27. It's important for Tweety to stay sober while on TV

otherwise he might say something stupid.

Oh wait... never mind.

[file83]

30. He's obviously been partaking in the "Green Beer" during lunch!

[InsultComicDog]

32. Scarborough looks like he's had a few as well

[Cleita]

34. I guess he started celebrating St. Pat's early. n/t

[EST]

35. Yep.

Can't even pronounce "hotshit" correctly---or spell it properly, for that matter.

[lovuian]

42. Tipsy Tweety thats got to be a ugly sight!!!

:beer:

[Kansas Wyatt]

48. Shouldn't the FCC know there is a drunk on tv

Polluting the minds of the children in this nation, and glorifying substance abuse in front of them?

Wouldn't the Christian Groups that protect the children from such filth, demand the FCC levy heavy fines for this abuse that the children of America are subjected to? Really, while they were only trying to fulfill their Christian duty by staying on top of the Holy War On Terror, and have to be exposed to obscene drunkenness.

Where are the Christian Groups' outrage at this hideous behavior?
