A Hardball epic . . .
Message to Chris Matthews: when ripping a guest for his lack of historical knowledge, try to avoid making a history mistake of your own in the same segment.
It happened on this afternoon's Hardball. After lambasting a guest for not knowing his Neville Chamberlain history, Matthews surmised that the attack on the USS Cole in October, 2000 happened under . . . President Bush.

It's the alcohol. Matthews is currently so obviously a juicer it isn't worth watching him simply to find out what his interview guests are saying.
He's not long for the broadcast industry at this rate.

Has he started letting his guests talk?
To: governsleastgovernsbest
Kevin James was really stupid not to just shut-up, but leave it to Chris to come to the rescue and reveal the true idiocy in the MSM. Keep it up, Chris... I feel this tingle running down my leg!

Chrissy the Sissy will get a pass on that one, like all his others.

Not anymore. He interrupts them as though he hasn’t heard a word. Before he started to turn into a terminal alcoholic he did let at least the mind-numbed, robot-like, knee-jerk Liberals talk a little bit, but even that’s gone away.

Poor Matthews. Some say that he is so jealous of Larry Sinclair that his brain is simply fried. Winner! Post of the Week.

The moonbats are so upset today, I wonder why??
Could they have heard something not so good about their Messiah, coming down the pike?

I only get minimum basic cable, if I want to hear what is mostly the truth, I crank up Free Republic. Min basic $14.85. Chris is the scum of the earth et al.

I actually saw that show, however inadvertenly .. first time I saw either Matthews or MSNBC in eons. The poor fellow was trying to answer his question, Matthews would reframe his question and press for an answer to his updated query before the fellow could answer. Just one rude SOB.

Matthews was unbeleivably rude. The guy was making the point that Chamberlain was an appeaser just like Obama, and Matthews kept berating him over a minor detail.

If Obama talks to Stinky what does he have to offer? Israel or Israel’s nukes, that’s what BHO has to offer. Just like Chamberlain ended up offering the Sudetenland to Hitler in exchange for a piece of paper he could wave at the crowd at the airport.

Matthews was unbeleivably rude. The guy was making the point that Chamberlain was an appeaser just like Obama, and Matthews kept berating him over a minor detail. The 'minor' detail was that the conservative speaker didn't know what Chamberlain did to be considered an appeaser.
Doesn't anyone read anymore?
Now to be fair, Matthews didn't ask the other guest, who might not have known as well and then stuck his foot in his own mouth by not knowing who was President when the Cole was attacked.

To: governsleastgovernsbest
Thanks for the ping and the summary. I find Matthews utterly unwatchable.

Matthews: “look, we're not getting anywhere here.”
You can say that again!
