Chris Matthews Compares Plamegate to Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers
NewsBusters ^ | 10/23/05 | Noel Sheppard

On this morning’s “The Chris Matthews Show,” Matthews played a videotape of British broadcaster David Frost interviewing former president Richard M. Nixon. In that interview, Nixon spoke about anti-war activist Daniel Ellsberg. After the clip, Matthews suggested that the “outing” of CIA agent Valerie Plame was the current White House’s attempt to eliminate dissention to the Iraq war:

Chris: Sometimes you do things on your own and the boss afterwards says things like “Is this one of yours?” Or sometimes you know you're supposed to do something, and you do it. Could this be the story -- the pattern we see here of how a White House gets into trouble? Of course, the reigning champion of White House scandals was Watergate. Here is Richard Nixon telling David Frost years later that the scheme to trash anti-war activist Daniel Ellsberg was really to discredit all opponents of the Vietnam War.

Searching. Looking. Hoping that they can find one tid-bit that they can use to piece together a 30 second sound bite. Take clips from 50 different things and put it together to make one thing. Mathews is a puke. Slime to the highest order. He is so full of himself, he smells like - - - (okay, I'll leave the other word off).

Daniel Ellsberg should have been hung.
Ok, tried, then hung.
All those who supported him in his treason should have served Looooong prison terms.

Take clips from 50 different things - and thirty years old. I got a kick the other day some media outlet had an article about some Texas town and the KKK; it appeared current news with screaming headlines and all, then it indicated the incident was in the 1920s but you had to read back to the second section to see it.

Good little Chris Goebbles! Always repeating the big lie, hoping everyone will just swallow his bitter pill and regurgitate it to their friends and family. Reminds me of:

Tax cuts for the rich
The rich don't pay their fair share
Trickle Down economics

and the list goes on.

Chris Matthews ratings can be compared to attendance at a junior college Elizabethan Literature course classroom.

Yes, and Able Danger cover-up is worse than Watergate.

Tax cuts for the rich

That's who "supply side" tax cuts are designed for.

The rich don't pay their fair share

Always arguable what's "fair."

Trickle Down economics

The Supply Siders coined "trickle down", not their opponents.

Poor Chrissy can't win no matter what the outcome.

If there are really big indictments, he'll succumb to massive multiple orgasms.

If there aren't big indictments, he'll succumb to apoplexy.

I hope for the latter.

Ellsberg=Soviet Mole

I remember that at some point Ellsberg visited Cuba, their was a report that sonn after all the US Strategic Missle and Bomber targeting information had to be changed.
(Ellsberg's original job gave him access to that kind of information).
Ellsberg was very active in the extremist faction of the KGB inspired/financed Anti-Nuke movement also.

Frankly speaking, I didn't realize Chris Matthews still had a show on TV.

It's fun to watch Chrissy every once in a while, just to see the look of arousal on his face, nostrils flaring, mouth agape, the involuntary wiggle in the chair. I expect to see him light up a cigarette and exhale deeply when it's all over. Whatta guy.

Well, if someone in the White House "outed" Valerie Plame, it would have to have happened before June 14th, 2003.

June 14th, 2003 is the date that Joe Wilson gave a speech at the 2003 Iraq Forum.

The website has a bio on all the speakers, including Joe Wilson. It includes this little gem, "He is married to the former Valerie Plame and has four children."

I kid you not. Check it out for yourself. He is at the bottom of the page.

Chrissy is having trouble containing the drool every time he opens his mouth about this issue - which is pretty much every time he opens his mouth.

Read what Graham (I think) called the Dem's "Treasonous" memo and see how well it fits this Plamegate. I'd call it a perfect match.
