In one of the epic dust-ups in recent TV memory, former Bush White House press secretary Ari Fleisher repeatedly called out Chris Matthews today for the way the Hardball host twisted Fleisher’s words and Pres. Bush’s record.
I’ll provide a more complete transcript later, but for the time being, savor the video, which includes these hightlights:
* Matthews begins by asking what Fleisher is doing on the show. Answer: “Chris, you invited me.” * Fleisher asks Matthews “how dare you?” for seeking to blame Pres. Bush for 9/11 and calls Matthews’ comments “shameful.” * At one point, Fleisher asks “Chris, do you ever not interrupt your guests, or is that all you like to do?” The stage crew can be heard bursting into laughter.

I gots me some high speed action and the video won’t play longer than two seconds. That sucks.

Sorry I missed it, Ari Fleisher is a gentleman so it must have been especially outrageous from Matthews. Chris is an angry little man with an equally little brain, long overdue in calling the little worm exactly what he is and always has been - a liar!

While he was Press Secretary, I thought Fleischer was an empty suit. After seeing Scott McClellan and Robert Hussein Gibbs, I now have a much higher opinion of him.
Also Ari's been good in interviews lately.

I saw this and thought Chrissy was going to come unglued! I have never seen more hate on a humans face as Chrissy had. They just can’t get over the fact that Bush is gone.

Didn’t Chris Matthews sub for Rush one day? Or is my memory faulty? (I AM over 30. Way over.)
