It’s like someone over night called him up and said, “Are you kidding me...”.

But Crissy still has it wrong. The Pres did not ‘send him (Gen) to defend his policy”. The General was giving an OPS report of conditions in the theater as requested by congress.

The truth shouldn’t get in the way of a good smear.

So what explains Matthews' stunning about-face?

The DNC Fax Machine.

Someone 'splained to Chris that his usefulness to the coup plotters is rapidly becoming quite limited so he'd better cut it out.

They continue to plot and plan.

"W" would have been well served with Lincoln's policy of sending these pukes to the federal prison at Point Lookout, Maryland for the duration.

The report was compiled by Petraeus, but he did not write it alone. And no one without a Ph.D was eligible to help. Gen. Petraeus was assisted by Australian Lt. Col. David Kilcullen who has no equal on CI, British Major Gen. Paul Newton, American Col. Micheal Meese, Col. H.R. McMaster author of Dereliction of Duty and Col. Peter Mansoor author of The GI Offensive in Europe. Chrissy Matthews does not have the brains or the balls to challenge these men. He is a Dickless Accordian Player.

In fact, the surge and counter insurgency plan being carried out in Iraq belongs very much to Gen. Petraeus who worked on it with others, including retired General Jack Keane and Fred Kagan of the AEI.

It was presented to the President and he accepted it as a hopeful way forward so in that sense it is his as well. But the President is not a military strategist and did not create the plan.

Petraeus did way too well in his testimony so they are now trying to detach what is going on in Iraq from him and reattach it to the President. Someone finally faxed Chris the memo. Discrediting Petraeus isn’t playing well, go for Bush.

Easy: Damage Control.

Chris stopped talking long enough to watch more than the first line of Petraeus’s entire 100+ word answer to Warner’s question and, also, he finally watched the answer to the same question from Bayh, later, and decided that he (Chris Mathews) was full of s—t.

Totally agree - Chrissy has no chance against that bench.

This moron likes the sound of his own voice so much that he can’t hear what other people are saying.

What a POS.

On Drudge earlier this week Hardball was last in the ratings.
Even allowing for the Democrat tilt of MSNBC how does he keep his job?

Matthews knew what the General really said before he started lying about it, just watch the testimony tape or listen to the General’s presser.

Chrissy was just confronted with too much evidence to keep up the lie.

Matthews is nothing but a tv reporter. Nothing more.

General Patraeus is a highly decorated, intelligent man that matthews could only hope to become one day when he grows up if ever. Nuff said!
