It's a metaphysical certitude that whenever anything happens in the Middle East, the media will quickly blame former President George W. Bush and the war in Iraq.
Not missing the opportunity to do so, Chris Matthews began the 5PM installment of "Hardball" Friday connecting the riots in Egypt to a man that has been out of office for two years (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: Trouble on the Nile.
Let`s play HARDBALL.
Good evening. I`m Chris Matthews in Washington.
Leading off tonight: Unrest in Egypt. Proving the Iraq war wasn`t needed, these protests in Egypt, as well as in Yemen and Tunisia, are all aimed at dictators supported by the U.S. The demonstrations have not yet turned anti-American, but they could. These are the events the Bush administration hoped to encourage by lying about weapons of mass destruction and invading Iraq. A live report from Richard Engel at the scene coming up. And we`ll stay on this story throughout the hour as events warrant.
Riots and a potential revolution in Egypt prove the Iraq war wasn't needed?
How does one come to that conclusion? Who on Matthews' staff decided that the perfect way to lead off Friday's program was by linking the unrest in Egypt to Bush and Iraq?
Didn't these folks learn anything from their rush to judgment over this month's shootings in Tucson?
This seems especially important as Matthews' guest through much of the program - NBC's Richard Engel reporting from Cairo - didn't say anything about these riots being in any way related to Iraq, anti-Americanism, or Bush.

Hmmmm... Hey, Chris... You mean BARACK OBAMA and the Iraq War.
I thought MSNBC had stopped Psycho talk..Seems that applies only to Ed Schultz..not Chrissy.
Chrissy Matthews does not rate any recognition in my book.
Sarah Palin is the new Bogey(wo)man, you dolt! Someone needs to update the Chrisbot’s BS software!
"...To witness the fevered excitement of a crass and loudmouthed vulgarian such as Chris Matthews or the adamantine darkness visible of a Keith Olbermann and the kos-bags for whom he shrieks is to see the human pig in all its naked horizontal glory. ..."
Ridiculous.
Amazing. Tinglefoot drooling his way through another edition of Liberal Fantasy News. Fantasy News could become as big as Fantasy Football.
Chris Matthews is still on the air? I had no idea.
This idiot has been on TV for how long and he is just as stupid now as when he worked for Carter. Amazing how idiotic that creep is and never seems to grow up or act like he has any brain cells. He is an intellectual infant.
His show is 100% predictable. We already know what he will say about anything before he says it.
“Proving the Iraq war wasn`t needed, these protests in Egypt, as well as in Yemen and Tunisia, are all aimed at dictators supported by the U.S.”
That’s like saying:
The vibrant democracy in Iraq demonstrated NOTHING, demonstrates NOTHING, in terms of possibilities, to the peoples of Tunisia or Egypt.
You decide, if that sounds logical?
I wonder if the same Supreme Court that decided that putting a crucifix in a jar of urine was “free speech,” and that burning the American flag was “free speech,” will also decide that the internet is “free speech.”
Matthews is just another Rat shill. His opinions and pronouncements are meaningless.
What does he blame his bedwetting on?
