Chris Matthews Goes Al Campanis: Perry Doesn't Have 'Necessaries' To Be President
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/30/2011 3:31:36 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Twenty-four years ago, Los Angeles Dodgers VP Al Campanis was forced to resign his position for saying on national TV that blacks lack "the necessities" to be baseball managers and executives.

On today's Hardball, Chris Matthews was so enjoying himself mocking Rick Perry's intelligence, that he decided to use a slightly mangled version of the same line on the Texas governor.

It sounds like Perry doesn’t give Chrissy a tingle in his leg. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen any male “reporters” fainting at Perry rallies. Chrissy might be right.

I wasn’t considering voting for Perry before. But after hearing Chrissy Mathews’ comments, I may have to give Perry a second look.

I’m not a great Perry fan, but I’d bet both of his ‘neceaasries’ are bigger than Chrissie’s...

Chrissy doesn’t have the intelligence or the brain to be considered a homo sapien. We should consider him the “missing link” between euglenozoa and protozoa, or between a pea-brain and a no-brain.

Since a stupid person can fly a C-130, I guess Chrissie could do it too. /s

A big difference between Perry and Chrissie is that Perry is likeable, an important factor in winning an election.

Oh yes, Chris Matthews, that great political mind. Perry’s been smart enough to remain Governor of Texas for twelve years and keep us prosperous and employed. What does Matthews have to show for his last twelve years besides a tingly leg?

I’ve seen a lot of images on FR that speak volumes about a given topic... but IMHO, your posted image is rated in the top ten. Nicely done fellow freeper. (by the way, I’ve yet to look at your profile... but if one exists, I think I will like it ;o))

If Prissy Crissy had a brain, he/she would be arrested for smuggling $hit.

In all honesty, I didn’t create that. Not sure where I stole it.

Very well could have been a FReeper though.

Hats off to whomever it was.

I had believed for a while now that the one candidate the media hates the most is Perry. This media pumping of Santorum in the last few days is indicative that they want to split the conservative vote as to deny Perry a win, since conservatives are his strongest base of support. Of course, they are protecting Romney, thus Romney benefits by splintering the conservative vote. And on that note, who cares about Chrissy? He is so irrelevant.

Not that Matthews is worth my key strokes but... Lets get this straight the guy has been elected Gov 3 times? Obama was a no show Senator for 1.5 years and a community agitator for years and years but Barry oh yeah HE is QUALIFIED! My ass!
