MSNBC’s Chris Matthews called criticism of Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY) “culturally backward.” Weiner is currently under fire for sending nude pictures of himself to women across the nation and then lying about it.
“People say they want transparency from government,” Matthews observed. “What’s more transparent than a naked picture? Isn’t it saying ‘I have nothing to hide?’”
Matthews urged Weiner to resist pressures for his resignation. “He needs to stay the course,” Matthews argued. “Now is not the time to surrender to narrow-minded notions of what constitutes appropriate behavior. People shouldn’t be ashamed of their bodies. We shouldn’t hound out of office a visionary who has staked out new ground toward overcoming senseless inhibitions.”
As for Weiner’s initial denials, Matthews acknowledged “it was a mistake born of modesty and shouldn’t be held against him. Besides, politicians have lied about worse things. Remember the weapons of mass destruction fable that led us into war? I think we cut the Congressman some slack on this.”
In related news, Representative Weiner announced that he had explained his actions to former President Bill Clinton and been “completely forgiven.” “No one has suffered more from the criticisms of our puritanical culture than President Clinton has,” Weiner contended. “His compassion for my predicament and unwavering support for my continuing to serve in Congress was very uplifting. He is truly an inspiration and model for all who aspire to public service.”
Was Matthews naked when he said this?
Case closed.
What liberties has Mathews taken, assuming his wife is NOT a “Culturally Backward’ Christian Conservative”?
Sounds like Chrissy has some skeletons in his email and twitter accounts.
How long before he starts weirding out even his already weird audience?

Are you sure this is satire?
Who is Chris Matthews? A journalist? I don't get where media types decide their job is more than just report the news. Journalists who want to be the news instead of report it. Clownish.
Right Chrissy, you vile, demented scumbag...
Sending pictures of your “junk” to minor girls = normal.
Going to church and having morals = culturally backward.
LOL! It’s tough trying to write satire when you’re talking about MSNBC’s Tinglebell and The Weiner.
Hey, Chrissy. Remember Carrie Prejean? Said something that you didn’t like, and you and your ilk ran around looking for nude photos of her. Your interest was purely professional, I’m sure.
You are one master of satire, sir.
somebody needs to check Chrissy’s tweets and see if he corresponds with under age girls since he doesn’t see anything wrong with doing it....... we’re coming after you matthews

Matthews argued. “Now is not the time to surrender to **narrow-minded notions**.
Weiner acts like a teenager and expects people to except it.
Keep talking, Chrissy baby.
And, Weenie-Man, enjoy your LOA but practice up so you can cut loose on the pubbies with both barrels when you get back.
The Hare-lip isn’t capable of doing adequate GOP slander all by herself.
We need you BOTH as our Dhimmi poster children. So hurry back and bring your ready wit with you.
Just let us know when it’s ready, for a change.
Even the progressive liberals think Matthews is a sexual is quite ill.
They are pushing for the flasher to leave.
Does Barney Frank have these nude pictures framed and hanging on his office wall?
Could have fooled me.
Sounds like the same, typical stuff that Chrissy spews on a nightly basis.
