Chris Matthews Scoffs at 'Irrelevant' Rush Limbaugh

NewsBusters ^

[Ann Archy]

Matthews spat on Michele Malkin.

[MNJohnnie]

Rush has more listeners in his three hours than MSNBC has all week.

Well it would be close but Rush probably does have more listeners in 3 hours then MSNBC has all week. None of their shows attract more then about 250-300,000 viewers

[johnthebaptistmoore]

I’m still waiting for the “duel” with Zell Miller!

[taxesareforever]

Hey Chris, just because Rush knows more than you doesn’t make him irrelevant. Makes you a non-issue.

[Panzerlied]

“He and Keith Olbermann need to team up and do a show piped only into insane asylums, psychologist office waiting rooms, and the homes of people under house arrest.”

Oh the horror, the HORROR!

[NonValueAdded]

Bwahahahahahahaha

[Greg F]

“He and Keith Olbermann need to team up and do a show piped only into insane asylums, psychologist office waiting rooms, and the homes of people under house arrest.”

Oh the horror, the HORROR!

Upon reflection, they may reach the bulk of that audience with their current programs.

[bigred41]

Rushs audience is reported at 13 million + per week, NOT 13 million + per day.

Limbaugh asserted, "[McCain] has thought Chris Matthews and these other people in the drive-by media, are his friends. They aren't."

Most poster on this site could have told McCain that

Sad and scary thing is that his ego wouldn't let him see that

[popdonnelly]

In your dreams, Matthews. Shall we compare Limbaugh’s audience with yours?

[Billg64]

I like morning joe sometimes

[yorkie01]

Limbaugh - 20 million listeners per week. matthews - less than 2 million hardvall viewers per week.

[Publius6961]

Chrissy callein Rush "irrelevant?"
At one twentieth the audience?

Now, that's funny!

[LucyJo]

No, he has always encouraged everyone to vote as they please, but to make it an informed vote. Do not delude yourself to justify your vote, etc.

[skully]

Too Funny!! Hissy Mathews is just jealous of Rush, and he’s just wishing out loud that Rush were irrelevant or secretly wishing he was relevant. If Rush was truly irrelevant, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Just to put what relevance means in context for tard like Mathews: Rush loses more people on one commercial break, then those that watch Hardball all week. Who’s irrelevant Sissy??

[ari-freedom]

yes they are decided by the middle. That’s why battleground states are so important.
And McCain would be much better with the base than romney, rudy or huckabee. Romney and Rudy would have turned off the evangelicals and Huckabee would have turned off the fiscal conservatives who want less spending.

usually a candidate wins the primary by appealing to the right and moves to the middle for the general. The problem is that weakens the base.
Because mccain won the primary by appealing to the middle all these years, he can actually afford to move to the right and fire up the base as we get closer to november.

[DoughtyOne]

I wasn’t aware of that. Thanks for that correction.

[DallasDeb]

I guess Peter Alexander probably got another one reamed after Matthews ended that segment. How dare he have a clip of Rush using Matthews name as one in the media who is untrustworthy! I love it!

[Joe Boucher]

I don’t know about that, but I’d bet the farm that in a fair fight of any kind Ann would take the weenie Mathews.
Fact is I have an 8 year old nephew that could whip him.

[MrPiper]

When it comes to being irrelevant, who better than Chris Matthews would know?

Who is this Chris Matthews? Is he a sports person?
