This is Kathleen Matthews. She was a pretty decent journalist in DC and never acted as idiotically as her husband. Another strange partnership in Washington like Carville and his wife.

Thanks joinedafterattack. He probably was worried that the still-at-large mouth-breathing thugs who attacked Republicans in Louisiana were illiterate and would think he was wearing a Palin button.
Sure; it is impressive. Amazing what the 'reason-challenged' can do. OR. ..maybe Chris got caught with a tingle up/down(?) his leg as he watched this Tea Party.
Actually think they is a jealousy here. Doubtful these people whave ever experienced a 'patriotic'- or altruistic - feeling. When they see it/real, raw and uncensored; think they are impressed - and resentful.
For people who think they have it all and ' by 'special gifts of intellect', know it all'; could be a bit of a bitter pill.
Matthews is married to Kathleen Matthews, who anchored News 7 on WJLA-TV, the ABC affiliate in Washington, D.C, before accepting a position as an executive vice president with J.W. Marriott. The couple has three children: Michael, Thomas and Caroline. His brother Jim Matthews, a Republican, is a County Commissioner in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
Also noted was his salary of $5 million a year. That, plus the wifey's salary...well, they sure are not poor liberal Democrats. Just as most of the Dems who tell us we should economize, pay more taxes, take care of the downtrodden through government programs, etc...they live a life of luxury most of us cannot even imagine. All while they claim that only the Republicans are rich and greedy people in this country. .

I don't think that's Chris' wife, Kathleen. She's a sharp looking lady and a recently retired TV journalist at WJLA.
Great video but why did you ask the question about “catch shares”? Just curious because that would destroy my business.

He was looking pretty old in that video. And he’s still an a**hole.

Good points. I also think the libs are envious because it is THEY who fancy themselves to be in possession of the very soul of the protest movement in America, yet the best they could muster during the Bush years were a few dozen Code Pinkos here and there chanting tired “Bush lied, people died” slogans and holding equally tired signs.
The Tea Party protest movement is MASSIVE by comparison. ...and considerably more organized.
He looks and acts like he is a hundred years old!
His last name is correctly spelt:
Antiamericandirtbagschmuck.
Which is, undoubtedly, why he opted for ‘Matthews’.
I have to disagree on the organized part. The Tea Parties are not part of any organized effort. It is very diffused and localized. It is definitely a spontaneous outpouring of anger than the anti-war protests. (BTW, the SF protest against Bush had around 160,000 people by my estimate but there were two aspects to it -- they included a massive number of gawkers and most of the people who marched belonged to some organization or the other, i.e., they were shepherded in there by their local organization.)
Organizing a protest (i.e., sending out a call to assemble and succeeding at it) is another term for astroturfing. Agree with you about the rest of the country. The numbers were few. Apart from SF, NYC had a large march one day, but that was a response to a call too and that was about it.
Lisa Minnelli has had at least two homosexual husbands. Just saying...

His brother is as far Right as Chris is to the left...
I asked because I am against Catch Shares and wanted to get him to weigh in if I could frame it as Barney Frank is against them, which he is. Stay tuned. I have another CA Dem mayor on video coming out against catch shares on video. Will post monday.
Call NOAA actions what they truly are: obstruction of justice
April 15, 2010 05:55 am

Dale J. Jones, police chief for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, appears to have been fired.
But based on what NOAA head Jane Lubchenco and various congressmen know about his actions in recent months, he deserves a much harsher punishment than simply losing his job.
The chairman of a U.S. House oversight subcommittee revealed this week that Jones had reportedly shredded 75 percent of the material in his files last November — during the final stages of an active national investigation into claims that his agents had been both vindictive and unfair in their enforcement of commercial fishing regulations in the New England region.
That information came in a letter from Congressman Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, chairman of the House Domestic Policy Subcommittee of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, to Lois Schiffer, new general counsel for NOAA, and Barbara Fredericks, assistant general counsel for the Commerce Department.
And that action, if confirmed, would constitute obstruction of justice, according to Kucinich and Cape Ann’s Congressman John Tierney, D-Salem, who warned Jones of that in a previous letter to him demanding documents and answers about document shredding.
So far, however, there has been no visible public response from Lubchenco. It is not even official that Jones has been fired.
Justin Kenney, communications director for Lubchenco, confirmed to Times reporter Richard Gaines that Schiffer had received the letter from Kucinich, but would not comment further.
Eric Schwaab, chosen in February by Lubchenco to lead the National Marine Fisheries Service, issued a statement last Friday that said nothing about Jones — it did not even mention him — but said that Alan Risenhoover would be taking the post temporarily.
This continuing lack of transparency and accountability would be appalling under any circumstances. But with an entire new regulatory regime set to begin in less than three weeks, on May 1, it is even more appalling. The so-called “catch share” system is expected to drive even more fishermen out of business, in an already devastated industry.
The catch share system must be delayed for at least a year, while NOAA first gets its own house in order before wrecking the lives of even more fishermen.
But, in the immediate, if Lubchenco won’t do her job, it is time for Kucinich and Tierney, along with the state’s two senators, John Kerry and Scott Brown, to ramp up the pressure.
If it is confirmed that Jones shredded the majority of his files, he should be charged with the crime the congressmen said it is — federal obstruction of justice.
How Lubchenco could ignore that when fishermen have been hit with crippling fines for minor violations of regulations is beyond comprehension.
She said when she was appointed by President Obama to lead NOAA that she intended to repair the breach of trust between her agency and the fishing industry.
It should be obvious that her current lack of action is only making that breach of trust much, much worse.
