Interesting how they try to spin it both ways. To Chris, Saddam's sentencing means Democrats will benefit. To Brown, his sentencing is politically motivated (evidently, in her way of thinking, to help the Republicans).

" Where is Chris Matthews in the TV ratings? "

Somewhere below the "Head-On/Apply Directly to the Forehead" commercials.....

Matthews was shaken and ashen when he announced his commentary -- he knows damn full well that this does not help the RATS and he is unnerved.

I do think Matthews went a bit loopy ages ago.

I've seen a few leftie bloggers try to spin it that way, that the troops were showing they "got" Carry's "joke," and agreed. Twisted, ain't it?

Chris Mathhews just makes up his lines as he goes along. He is probably no longer working directly in the Dimorat organizations because he is so incompetent.

That was on DU the morning after the "joke"--they were oozing over Kerry, he was their hero, and when the photo came out they were thinking this had sealed the deal for election day.

Then of course their moms came home from work and explained it to them...

Chrissy needs to be labelled what he really is: Lobbyist.

Life's a bitch when reality forces you to be delusional because reality challenges your moonbat views, which you cling to because you're, well, a moonbat.

According to Matthews, given the unpopularity of the war, anything that draws attention to Iraq hurts Republicans.

Anything is bad news, even good news is bad news, but bad news is still better than good news, and any news is bad news , but bad news is any news that could be good or bad news.

These people are so obsessed with Bush they can't think straight. Matthews is a very, very confused person.

The only way it could be better is if they drug him from the court room and hung him right away.

The judge has more patience than I do. I would have packed a .45 under my robe and capped him as soon as the verdict was read.

"What about critics, especially in Iraq, even Saddam Hussein's chief lawyer, who say the verdict was timed to come out just before the election to help the GOP?"

Chief lawyer...let me guess: Ramsey Clarke? Chrissy didn't want to drop the name?
