Matthews Has Cheney Heckler on Hardball 08/25 06:54 PM - The Markup, Videos The heckler, in a scenario that no one could have foreseen, proceeded to heckle both Matthews and the other guest on the program:
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-)
Yes I saw it and what Chirssy did not say was this clown is a member of Moveon.org
I'm sure Matthews had a big sh!t eating grin all over his face while this clown did his act, too.
What is he a doctor of, Bovine Scatology?
He kinda looks like Cindy Sheehan.
Dr. Marble, another example of an over schooled, undereducated liberal. What kind of a Dr. is this guy? A proctologist?
"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?"
I watched that yahoo up until he began talking about Sindy Shoehorn. I turned it off at that point in his rant....
You guys have more guts than me, I cant watch Mathews , that sonofabeach. I cant afford another new TV every time he pisses me off.
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 dont 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 whats 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.
Strange that someone who heckeled the VP would be called on any program as some sort of expert. Nicely done video post PJ.
Outstanding. Another MSNBC fan. I love the place.
MSNBC is like a box of chocolates . . . .
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.
I am no fan I just did not feel like getting up to change the station.
How could they tell the guy from Matthews?
LOL! One of the best Seinfeld episodes, ever created.

Well I'm not taking you off the list. I've almost reached a dozen.
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.
"Dr. Marble, another example of an over schooled, undereducated liberal. What kind of a Dr. is this guy? A proctologist?"
What a neat thought. If so, he would have himself as a patient.
MSNBC is UNWATCHABLE!!
I think he graduated from a Biomedical sciences school. Is that different from a regular Med school?
Then you shouldn't watch. For me it's the best out of the three 24/7 cables.
Have you ever noticed that this "Dr." title is also a European thing? Everyone in Europe is a Dr.
Would this it was so!!
I don't....never fear you are in an ELITE small group!!
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.
I watched the video. Rockey held his own very, very well. This "DR" Marble; what kind of a "doctor" is he? The guy acts like he's on meth.
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.
It was high school, not an ivy covered wall of a university.
And he also used it in his regular, nonprofessional life.
I just never 'got it.'
It lools like we have a "Useful Idiot" here, look for the definition -

"Strange that someone who heckeled the VP would be called on any program as some sort of expert."
The only jerk I have ever seen on hardball was the host of the show.
Actually, that is the correct way to pronounce the Vice President's name. I've heard, his wife Lynn, pronounce it that way!
what kind of a "doctor" is he?
From a google search, he's a family medicine doc who works in the ER.
Matthews or the heckler?
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.
Oh, I forgot, we don't need no steenking 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.
