Apparently Hardball host Chris Matthews has a bit of a problem keeping his lust in check on the air. On Friday evening's Hardball, Matthews was interviewing CNBC's Street Signs anchor, Erin Burnett, about the latest Wall Street news when suddenly he switched gears as you can see in this video. The official transcript isn't up yet on the MSNBC website but here is a transcription of the conversation as best I could understand it:
MATTHEWS: Could you get a little closer to the camera?
BURNETT: What is it? Is it (garbled) in strangely?
MATTHEWS: Come in closer...no...come in...come in further...come in closer...really close.
(Burnett leans towards camera.)
BURNETT: What are you, what are you doing?
MATTHEWS: Haw! Haw! Just kidding! You look great! Anyway, thank... Erin it's great to have...look at that look... You're great...
BURNETT: I don't even know. I'm going to have to go look at the tape here. I'm in a strange location.
MATTHEWS (laughing): No, you're beautiful! I'm just kidding! I'm just kidding! You're a knockout! Anyways thank you, Erin Burnett. It's alright getting bad news from you even. Okay. Thanks for coming on Hardball.
Chris, I know it was Friday night and Erin Burnett is indeed a knockout. However, perhaps you could be a little more subtle about your attraction for Erin. After all, among the few dozen of your Hardball viewers, Mrs. Matthews could have been watching your leering performance.
IB4 “I’d hit it”!
(I can't see videos where I'm at)
Well, with a brilliant subtlety such as that, he must have no problem cruising for the babes.
Isn’t he Tip O’Neil’s love child?
Hey! Us slobbering old fools need love too, ya know! If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh?
That was a very strange video. She looked confused and kinda stunned by the situation. Chris should not have done that.
Very nice
Yes, I did a search and Erin Burnett is pretty good looking. Still, to say all that on the air....
Damn right! And we haven’t lost our ability to oogle!
Oh, come now. You know it is okay for liberals to engage in this type of behavior.
They all “mean well” and their “hearts are in the right place”.
They couldn’t ever be demeaning towards women or minorities. Tsk Tsk. I am very dissapointed in you.
/s
He did that a few weeks ago with another woman, the drooling fool.
It was a gal who made a campaign video, can’t remember which candidate. He was just digusting.
He is going to be 62 this year. Although I am 30 years younger I hope I look that “bad” at 62. He is a lot of things, but old looking is not one of them.
Tickles and pricks...I think Chrissy is in enough trouble as it is, don’t you?
Progressive men, on the other hand, revel in the sexual revolution, and find nothing wrong with putting the moves on anything that moves. Hey, Baby, it's a compliment!
And, really, the whole sexual revolution was about the freedom to treat all women like whores. This is the world the feminists have given us.
chris should have asked erin burnett to unbutton another button....
cleveage....after all....chrissey was drooling over the piap’s lowcut mansiere!!

I just watched “Softball” or whatever it’s called the other day and he looks like he’s lost weight (not in a good way—like a cancer patient) and is wan and sickly looking. Or it could just be my old Panasonic, I suppose...
Is she a candidate for the “Ann Rule”?
One could hardly imagine Edward R. Murrow pulling this sort of juvenile stunt on TV.
Matthews couldn’t get porked in a womens prison with a fistful of pardons..
LOL! I love your screen name. I should have called myself BornToSleepWithDogs!
Looks like she’s had some work done if you view all her google images.
It is very possible. His father died of cancer if I remember correctly. I try not to watch that show too much. If I need some liberal news than I will watch Tim Russert occasionally.

I 2 saw this and said to myself what a frig’en pig..wanted to address it with the higher ups but said screw it I have my life to live and pigs like this will get it in the end....Hes a slobering POS
I do not watch television, so...I had to Google her to find out more about her. (ogle is part of Google, so I can say I am doing word research...:)
Is this a picture of her? She looks a lot different...is this earlier in her career...perhaps before makeover city? A very attractive person, indeed!
Matthews must be getting tired of Barney Frank types, but fat chance he’d ever be able to date an attractive woman such as this, LOL.
Just keep yer lips lubed AND SPLASHIN’ as always, KRISSEE!
I am 50 and I wouldn’t date him. yuck. I hope you look better than him when you’re 60, ok 62.
And remember, that’s with him wearing makeup.
ugh!! yuck! i could never lust after a man wearing makeup.

Just before you see Chris in full leer mode you can tell that he is getting bored with the interview. Already on his mind was getting into some “hot talk” with Erin.

I left a comment rebuking a loon who found a way of attacking Fox News from this incident.
No back in Edward R. Murrows day it was expected of the women in TV to put out and keep their mouths shut, I think they referred to it as dues.
“If I was a woman, I would have slapped him and just walked off the set. “
No leaving until Chrissy cries.
Looks to me as if she’s wearing blue contacts in the first picture, because in this pic she’s got brown eyes.
I am sure she felt the same way Suzy Kolber felt when Joe Namath started slobbering on her. She was probably first a little confused and thinking “What is he doing?”
Namath was a drunk ex-jock who actually made me feel sorry for him when he did it. Just pitiful and sad.
Chris Matthews makes a blood sport out of stabbing people in the back and slandering him. There is no level of embarrassment or humiliation that might be heaped on him that woud give me pause.
Live by the sword.
Die by the sword.
“slandering him” = slandering them
oogle..oogle...oogle...drool.
That was my first thought. Reminded me of the drunken Namath incident. Maybe if they'd been in the same room, Crissy would have asked for a kiss.
Where did you get a picture of my 12th wife?
