Matthews Has Cheney Heckler on Hardball (Video of a Real JERK)
National Review Online ^ | August 25, 2006 | Stephen Spruiell

Matthews Has Cheney Heckler on Hardball
08/25 06:54 PM - The MarkupVideos
The heckler, in a scenario that no one could have foreseen, proceeded to heckle both Matthews and the other guest on the program:

F—- You

The heckler is Dr. Ben Marble, who famously approached Dick Cheney as he was speaking to a group of reporters in a Katrina-ravaged Mississippi neighborhood and told him to engage in an act of congress with himself.

Tonight on Hardball, Marble interrupted host Chris Matthews and his other guest, Katrina survivor Rockey Vaccarella, several times.

Most egregiously, he shouted down Vacarella, who recently met with President Bush, by interjecting, "You lost your house and your belongings. Cindy Sheehan lost her son. And the president would not meet with her, but he met with you. And you don't think that has anything to do with politics? Give me a break!"

Vacarella responded, "Sir, he met with her twice to my knowledge."

Marble was unfazed. "That's ridiculous," he responded. "Of course it's political."

Dr. Marble also called Bush, "The worst president in the history of this nation without a question and he should resign as soon as possible," and could be seen yelling at the camera after Matthews ended the interview.

Who could have predicted that the "Go f*** yourself" guy would act so obnoxious on TV?

Then again, that was probably the point.

Video here.

That must have disturbed a large portion of the 80 or so people across America who watched it. 8-)

I'm sure Matthews had a big sh!t eating grin all over his face while this clown did his act, too.

"Convenient" oversight. BTW, does anybody else find it DISTURBING that Chrissy conveniently goes out of his way to pronounce the VP's name as "Cheeeny?"

Watch the video and you'll see that the good doctor is a certifiable jerk who would benefit from a severe ass kicking...

Just the kind of guy you would expect bed wetting Chrissy to spotlight..

Isn't it amazing that an educated man, Dr. Marble, could be so ill informed or perhaps he just likes spewing disinformation for the corrupt politicians in LA. I don’t see a whole lot of people returning or that those there are helping themselves and their neighbors to clean up the place – just a lot of whining and waiting for the government to wipe their noses……what’s that story about some $70 million being lost in LA or no accounting for that money? Insurance companies and zoning rules are holding up a lot of the clean up. Many are working hard to rebuild but I seriously doubt the MSM will publish those stories..................Nagin's hands are far from clean.....

This is mainstream TV.

But if I didn't read about it here, I wouldn't know. I stopped watching those channels a long time ago.

I never cared much for folks who use the 'Dr' designation in everyday life. In a professional environment, it doesn't bother me so much, though it can in some cases.

I had a teacher in high school was was a 'Dr' and called himself 'Dr' at school. PhD in English Literature, I think. I liked the guy a lot but always found the 'Dr' designation he used obnoxious. Later, I found it funny.

If it's in medicine or health related, it's fine in my book. Otherwise, it just turns me off.

How dare that creep Mathews give this jerk a forum to air his vile garbage! I honestly think Chris Mathews is desperate to get ratings of any kind, and doesn't give a hoot how he does it. This was beyond low.

Probably just another one who answered a spam e-mail offering degrees from any school. Harvard costs extra.

The other more likely possibility is that it majored in Sociology, philosophy, Art History, Minority Studies, or some other form of pointless intellectual masturbation.

What a neat thought. If so, he would have himself as a patient.

I don't know, but at least it appears he is a scientist. Still, it's a turnoff when any doctor introduces himself or herself as 'Doctor (so-and-so)' when I just encounter them in life. In a hospital corridor or doctor's office, fine.

When a guy picking up his dry cleaning and is referred to as 'Dr,' I think he has some issues. Just a personal peeve.

I have noticed that, actually! I think they are just giving those doctorates away in the old world! ;-)

It's personal to me because I am a 'Dr,' but it never occured to me to insist to be referred as one in normal, everyday life.

I didn't see the show, but I know the President did meet with Sheehan at least once and probably twice.

This guy is a fool.

First of all, the "good" Doctor appeared to be high as a kite on some impairing substance. Secondly, why didn't Chrissie ask Dr. Marble to disclose his political party affiliation? No wonder i never watch that idiot.

The "Dr" title is certainly appropriate for a teacher while at school.

What an ignoramus that Marble is. The only thing he could possibly have a Dr's degree in would be 'sandbox' or 'lunch'.

Not in the least surprising he belongs to moveon.org.

It was high school, not an ivy covered wall of a university.

And he also used it in his regular, nonprofessional life.

I don't watch Chrissy, but did he say that President Bush DID meet with Cindy? Did he mention that afterwards Cindy was very complimentary of the President? Surely as a serious journalist, he would be aware of this.

What's jist as sad it the mentality that exists that the Gov't is obligated to rebuild NO or any other city.

It's just not in the Constitution.

QUESTION: Mr. Secretary, there seems to be some latter day question about how to correctly pronounce your last name. How do you pronounce it? How do you want us to pronounce it?

CHENEY: How do I pronounce my last night and how do I want you to pronounce it? Well, the family's always said Cheney with an "e'' and that was especially true West growing up. I find, when I came East, that the tendency was to say Cheney with an "a''. I'll respond to either. It really doesn't matter.

QUESTION: Cheney with an "a''?

CHENEY: Cheney is fine, but, you know, it's close enough. If you guys get that I right, I'll be happy.
