On the Wednesday night edition of MSNBC's "Hardball" Chris Matthews and David Shuster continued to use the Larry Craig scandal to bury the GOP and while Matthews declared "the downfall of" Bush's party was "driven by every movement of the body politic" it was his colleague Shuster who outdid him when, after running down a litany of GOP troubles ranging from Craig to the resignation of Alberto Gonzales, charged:

Public restrooms? ha.
And they wonder why drollball is at the very bottom of the ratings heap?
The Katrina “victims” don’t tap toes
They just barge in the stall of the taxpayer with the media and the Democrat Party holding you whole you get raped.
Of the 600,000 viewers watching, 95% didn't know either.
The other 5% heard somebody, in the same sentence, mention Katrina and a Republican, so it must be right.
HUH?! MOONBAT alert!
He's going to drive off his last 100 fans if he keeps this up.
>>Larry Craig a ‘Moral Insult’ to Katrina Victims<<
Would that include the Katrina “victims” who spent their $2,000 FEMA cards on booze and strippers?
>>where does Barney Frank stand on this issue?<<
On the bottom, I think. :)
Barney has called for Larry Craig to stand firm .
Sink holes?
MSNBC-hate speech and lies from morning til night. The spitter and his poodle “lil davie schuster” are the laughing stock of cable television. I don’t know who the manager is over there (could it be the man who filed the false affidavit in the Scooter Libby trial, fat dim russert) but MSNBC has completely lost it. Spitball’s ratings are in the dumper and if the station had any sense at all, they would relieve chrissy from his doodies.
(1) Short answer: Barney Frank has publicly supported Craig.
Besides, Frank is not, IMHO, comparable to Craig, because:
(2)Frank has never been convicted of soliciting sex in a public restroom.
(3)Frank has never lied to his constituents about his sexual orientation in order to get elected.
“Barney has called for Larry Craig to stand firm.”
Well I’m sure Barney won’t take it,..er I mean, take this lying down.
I guess so, but Barney has paid for sex, and there’s no evidence yet that Craig has done so.
Is Chrissy implying that homosexuals are morally deficient?
I sure hope Fred Thompson does something newsworthy very soon , I am sick of the jokes I am making .
these Katrina “victims” are a moral insult to us Floridians who instead of waiting for the government to solve our problems and clean up after our hurricanes (3 within 6 weeks in 2004 where I live), got up off our butts and got to work to improve our own situations. FEMA was a bureaucratic joke in 04...nobody in their right mind would have sat around and waited for them to “help!”
In case the Katrina “victims” haven’t figured this out yet, nobody feels sorry for you if you don’t do anything to improve your own situation. Self-reliance - it’s the American way...
(2)Frank has never been convicted of soliciting sex in a public restroom.
(3)Frank has never lied to his constituents about his sexual orientation in order to get elected.”
What? Are you mad. Barney’s lover was running a gay prostitution ring out of Barney’s house. Barney was censured for it but not prosecuted. I suppose I agree with you that Craig and Frank are not comparable, Barney’s crime was far more serious. Why was he not prosecuted? Janet Reno???
I don’t believe barney fwank when he claimed no knowledge of the call boy ring being run out of his apartment by his roommate/boyfriend.
Shuster still harbors extreme bitterness over being fired by Fox News. Too bad for him no one watches MSNBC. Nor are his career prospects looking too good. He is going to end up one grumpy old man...like Matthews.
Ratings for Monday night:
7PM Time Slot:
FNC (Shep): 1121
CNN (Blitzer): 579
HLN (Beck): 412
AND BRINGING UP THE REAR:
MSNBC (the spitter): 347
Is this gashead Shuster still a “reporter” on MSN? I never watch so I wouldn’t know. How is he supposed to be taken seriously as an objective journalist when he appears on this show and spews his anti Bush, left wing venom?
Meanwhile over on Fox, if some of the reporters or hosts there dare to be impartial, and ask Democrats tough questions like real journalists would do, the Dems whine and cry like the losers they are saying Fox is “right wing propaganda.” Yet Republicans don’t try to boycott MSNBC. The GOP presidential candidates gladly appear on that network. This certainly proves that they are men of better character than their Demo opponents, who are beholden to the far left.
I’ll reserve comment until an official response is given from Heineken Guy.
Dang! With shows like Mathews’ and reporters like Schuster how can there honestly be so many complaints about Fox News? I saw a bit of the show today and it was just one loooong Bush bash. Schuster is just completely biased and Mathews doesn’t even pretend to be impartial.
Homophobe! Homophobe! Chrissie is a homophobe!
I wonder how many millions the Dems save by having MSNBC do their advertising for them. Someone should do a study.
This just demonstrates another difference between left and right. MSN and the rest of them are Democrat flunkies but the GOP shrugs it off and deals with it. I don’t know what else they could do. If they complain about media bias they immediately get labeled as cry babies. But the left looks at fair and balanced reporting and screams “unfair!”
Craig has never had a boyfriend running a call-boy operation from the basement of his D.C. house as Barney did. Now he’s the chairman of a committee. That’s the difference between Democrats and Republicans. Democrats have no standards...as Wm. “Cold Cash” Jefferson’s presence right next to Gov. Blanco at the Katrina festivities in NO today so clearly illustrated.
Matthews lost it a long time ago.
“Democrats have no standards...”
And we have a winner! Democrats are happy to be amoral. Ethics are for Republicans and the rest of the peasants.
So far Craig hasn’t allowed a pimp to run a string of queer hookers out of his apartment (that we know of).
“Is Chrissy implying that homosexuals are morally deficient?”
Seems to be a lot of that talk from the left-leaning tv commentators today!
Obviously the talking points have gone out from DNC headquarters: Make Larry Craig the “face of the GOP.” Pull out all the stops, make sure that when Joe Six Pack thinks of “Republican,” he thinks of “Larry Craig The Pevert.”
I thought they were selling it.
It’s going to be the GOP that expels Mr. Craig.
Can't agree with this statement more. I am so sick of hearing about Katrina that I've had to duct my head so it won't explode.
