Filling in for Chris Friday, Andrea Mitchell said he was on vacation and would be back Monday. (Probably ducking from incoming fire, avoiding apologizing, and hoping that the furor over his contemptible behavior toward Michelle Malkin will be over.)
Chris Matthews, who I now loathe, has been sold and I can tell you just who his patron saint is.
At least by my estimate and I'm sticking to it.
Chrissy made his deal with Ronald Reagan Jr. and the proof can be found with his show.
First, Chrissy got the first full hour interview with the hypocritical son of one of our greatest presidents.
Remember that "softball" interview he gave to Kerry after some incident that caused a bunch of brouhaha in the press? Ron junior called up Chrissy and asked him to give Kerry a chance to speak. Chrissy sold his journalistic sould and agreed.
Then, one night ole Chrissy devoted almost an entire show to the speech Laura Bush gave over the problems with raising false hopes over the stem cell issue.
Chrissy did everything in his power to put down the First Lady, had plenty of guests that put her down as well, and the dolt even stated, and I paraphrase, "Laura Bush is going to receive a lot of flak over this."
Which Mrs. Bush did not but certainly not for lack of trying by the very honest may he burn in hell Chris Matthews.
Again, Ron jr called Chris and asked him to sponsor a show over Laura Bush's remarks and Chris did the deed.
Chris Matthews goes to bed every night wishing he were Tim Russert. Chris dreams that he should be Tim Russert.
He needed a 'sponsor' to propel him to great heights that the American public should admire his journalistic expertise as landing this famous no-nothing Ron jr who would be a total zero were it not for his wonderful father.
Chris is a shell of a man struggling to be something more than he is. Then his show with Thurlow and MAlkin and trust that Chris rolled up his sleeves and told MSNBC that he could handle those upstarts who would dare question Kerry's bravery.
With dreams of showing Tim Russert to be a wimp, Chris went out there and beat the hell out of a brave hero, Thurlow, and dear God the way he treated sweet Michelle, welll...
He looked like a bully and nothing more.
It never will be over!
