MSNBC Boss Calls Chris Matthews a 'Statesman,'

The AP gets it right with this headline: “Chris Matthews now the broadcaster that conservatives love to hate.” AP reporter David Bauder begins: “To his boss, Chris Matthews has become a statesman. His critics probably have other words.”

MRC assistant research director Geoff Dickens had other words in this piece, but get a load of MSNBC president Phil Griffin on this “statesman” business:

"He's as good as he's ever been," said Phil Griffin, MSNBC president. "He's at a place in his life where he's really comfortable in his own skin. He's a statesman. He has so much knowledge and I think he understands it better. He's always been great, but I really think he's been at the peak of his game."...

"He is sort of the model figure for who we are," Griffin said. "He doesn't stick out loving politics and being passionate about politics. It comes across in everything we do ... And that's Chris."

Yeah, his nose is so far up the state’s a$$, “statesman” is a pretty accurate term for the kneepad wearing sissy boy.

Chris Mathews is a petulant, perpetually adolescent, School Yard Bully.

I betcha 99.9% of “TV” people don’t even know who Phil Griffith is.

Amybe it’s time for him to become a much vilified household name, like the way Rupert Murdoch’s seems to be.

My favorite from despair.com below. I think they took it offline on their site and had to get it off of a cache site. I had a manager at Lockheed Martin where I wanted to go in after-hours, print it out and glue it to his door. He was so full of himself too ! All of us who worked for him knew if we wanted to get anywhere, we had to kiss up to him a lot, something I refused to do to my detriment.
