What a surprise! Chris Matthews slams Sarah Palin’s new book

Chris Matthews making fun of Sarah Palin?

Believe it or not, the Hardball host is ridiculing Palin’s upcoming book — even before she starts writing it. Or collaborating on it, as he said on his program tonight.

“Sarah Palin – now don’t laugh – is writing a book. Not just reading a book, writing a book,” he said.

“She’s got this book deal, she obviously is not gonna write it,” he said later in the show. “They’ve already announced … she’s gonna collaborate on it. What an embarrassment! It’s one of these “I told you,” books that jocks do. … Why they do it like this? ‘She can’t write, we got a collaborator for her.’”

[GOP Poet]

SHOCKED! Shocked I tell ya!

[TheBattman]

She doesn’t make his leg tingle like 0bama does....

[Never2baCrat]

Chris Tingle can READ? I don’t believe that for a second!

[Steely Tom]

Yeah, that’s the kind of shocker that makes me want to go out and get cable television.

[ASOC]

LOL

Unlike Chris, Sara has a degree in Journalism.

She can write.

She will also get hit with more 'ethics' complaints over this.

[Red in Blue PA]

Chris Matthews gives a bad name to horse’s asses everywhere.

[fkabuckeyesrule]

Of course if she were writing it all by herself (BTW did Chrissy make an issue of Hillary’s ghost ever-—yeah thats what I thought) then they would say she was neglecting the people of Alaska (as if the libs care about the people of alaska). Maybe Zell could run into Chrissy sometime.

[vaudine]

Chrissie spit his brains out a long time ago.

[edcoil]

Here in CA at KFI640 we have this loud mouth Bill Handle - pretty useless - but one of his sidekicks was an electoral college vote for Obama and a big dem yet on every republican issue in all seriousness handle always asks his position on republican politics.

Both are useless.

[laweeks]

Golly, where was he when the Clintons had their books written by ghost writers and stiffed them for their pay. I didn’t hear this jackass ridiculing these two gangsters.

Frankly, I’m surprised anyone was watching Chris “Tingles” to have heard him make fun of her.

[Red_Devil 232]

I think I read in another article posted here on FR that her lawyers had checked and cleared everything about the book deal with everybody and anybody involved with the States laws. Any law suits will be dismissed upon receipt!

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Oh, so Obama actually wrote his book, huh?

[BigEdLB]

Chris Matthews - still hasn’t gotten those Depends after having a tinkly feeling going down his leg after the Obama speech.

[silverleaf]

He’ll probably keep a copy of Michelle Obama’s upcoming multimillon dollar advanced “children’s book” beside his toilet.

[Jeb21]

“Unlike Chris, Sarah has a degree in Journalism.”

Ba-zing.

[GOPJ]

Have any liberal pols EVER written their own books?

[NavVet]

Maybe if the book contains confessions of: Cocain Use, seeking out Marxist professors and wanting to punch white people, Matthews will get a tingle up his leg when he reads it.

[ErnBatavia]

Shoulda rolled on a small scumbag to catch his load...

[Right Wing Assault]

Why is this street person wearing a suit?

[BigEdLB]

Have any liberal pols EVER written their own books?

Karl Marx

[Right Wing Assault]

Oh, so Obama actually wrote his book, huh?

Maybe he could show us his notes.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Oh, so Obama actually wrote his book, huh?

Bill Ayers wrote Obama’s book..as far as Chrissy Matthews is concerned, I think anyone that can say proudly that he worked for the Carter Administration doesn’t deserve a second of my time. I hope the next time Matthews has a tingly feeling, it’s a massive stroke. It’s a shame what MSNBC has become. Tim Russert, even though I did not agree with him politically, was a good man, look what has happened to his beloved network, it’s down the toilet

[ditchdigger]

Yeah, I heard Handle’s syndicated legal advice show prior to moving to SoCal and I couldn’t believe he was paid to give out the useless info he gave. Then I move here and he’s got the morning drive program on the local Rush station, doing news and whatever else he does. I don’t listen often, but I know the sidekick you’re referring to and agree with your description.

[ScottfromNJ]

“He’ll probably keep a copy of Michelle Obama’s upcoming multimillon dollar advanced “children’s book” beside his toilet.”

The Pillsbury doughboy will keep it next to his refrigerator.

[Talisker]

GREAT answer.

[BigEdLB]

At your service sir/ma’am

[ak267]

Perhaps Chirs was POed because there weren’t any pictures???

[blackminorca]

“The man who asked who William F. Buckley voted for in the November election is mocking Palin for alleged stupidity.”

[Clintonfatigued]

Give Chrissy Matthews some shirtless pics of Obama. He’ll perk right up.

[Bars4Bill]

Matthews defined his own job as promoting the president (Obama). And most of the mainstream media idiots have proclaimed the same. Admitting they are neither reporters nor journalists, or persons of reason, shouldn’t they not be listened to and swept to the dustbin?

[Don Carlos]

I hope the next time Matthews has a tingly feeling, it’s a massive stroke.

Lets not sink to their level, OK?

[a fool in paradise]

Did Chrissy Matthews ALSO mock the notion that Meghan McCain is writing a book?

[a fool in paradise]

"She’s got this book deal, she obviously is not gonna write it,” he said later in the show. “They’ve already announced … she’s gonna collaborate on it. What an embarrassment! It’s one of these “I told you,” books that jocks do. … Why they do it like this? ‘She can’t write, we got a collaborator for her.’”

Just like John F. Kennedy. He didn't write Profiles in Courage.

Suck it up, Chris. Suck it up.

[SoCalPol]

Sarah Palin is an elected governor of a state

Hey Chris, why don’t you run for governor of Pa.
.....Oh, you wouldn’t win. I see.

[rbmillerjr]

Hissy Chrissy is just a vile and small man.

Can anybody come up with a legal plan to embarass this boob?

It’s time to strike back at AmericanPravda.

[taildragger]

Is it me or does he look like an illegitimate Kennedy in this picture?

[Sarah Barracuda]

I know, but when I read stuff like that, it’s hard not to

[rockrr]

Her first chapter will be one chapter more than the O’Bummer has ever written...

[jazminerose]

Right. Sarah only excites normal, heterosexual men.

[JamesA]

Wouldn’t ya just love to slap the punks face and watch him cry...

[Paperdoll]

To me Matthews is an enormous nothing, so who cares what he says about anything anyway?

[Finalapproach29er]

lol
I hadn’t ever heard that.

I’m amazed at how long he’s lasted with his multi-million dollar contract.

[CaribouCrossing]

“Say it ain’t so, Joe!” And thank you, Chrissy, for the free advertisement of Governor Palin’s upcoming book! You made me tingle all over! heh heh

[mass55th]

Matthews is more catty than most women. What an immature a-hole.

[mass55th]

"I know, but when I read stuff like that, it’s hard not to"

That's okay. Just say you hope his kidneys fail ;-)

[Sarah Barracuda]

HAHA yeah..that too :-)

[MarkL]

Between all the "tingling" that Chrissy feels, and the way he's been ranting worse and worse, for his sake, I hope that he gets tested for syphilis. It's known to cause dementia, and that's certainly what we've been seeing from Mathews, and it's been getting worse and worse.

I hope it's not too serious. Or drug resistant.

Mark

[ASOC]

Will be interesting to see’

More than a few folks see this as ‘outside employment’ something banned by her own ethics law.

In any case, no matter what the legal beagles say, someone is going to file a complaint. Count on it.
