Leering Chris Matthews Asks Female CNBC Anchor to Move in Closer to Camera
NewsBusters ^ | August 12, 2007 | P.J. Gladnick

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.

One could hardly imagine Edward R. Murrow pulling this sort of juvenile stunt on TV.

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.

After the exposure Rush Limbaugh gave her, I thought she'd be canned. Good to know she's still around. When it comes to finance, she knows her stuff and isn't just an ornament piece like quite a few infobabes are.

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!

Chris Matthews is rude, belligerent and just rants at length. Someone must watch his show. No one watches Keith Olbermann.

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.

If I was a woman, I would have slapped him and just walked off the set.

It's a hoot.

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.
