It's a good thing we have the Liberal media to hold up the high standards of unbiased civility in the political discourse, n'est-ce pas?

Didn’t he blame Bush’s grand pop for the Lindbergh baby kidnapping?

[Popman]

Matthews is going over the deep end.

Mubarak is not Saddam, not by a long shot

Chrissie needs a good kick in the tingle. (sorry, Chrissie, a good kick in the thrill, don’t want to set off another tantrum)

Actually Condi Rice made the real democratic speech in 2005 at Cairo not Obama.

[Clock King]

Well, that didn’t take as long as I expected.

So let me get this straight. Egyptians are mad at the U.S. because George Bush toppled a dictator in Iraq and gave its people the opportunity for freedom and democracy. All of this happened the better part of a decade ago.

But Obama's Cairo speech, where he slammed America had no influence.

Makes sense to me.

[Popman]

As someone who used to watch Matthews every night for years. Up until 4 or 5 years ago, he simply got to be too much.

I really think Matthews has mental issues, he has always leaned a little left but he was not in full blown moonbattery until the Bush's second term.

He used to be rational in his commentary at one point.

I think his diabetes is rotting his brain away

[Liberty Valance]

At what point will Matthews admit that O’bammy is actually his President?

[peeps36]

Fat ass must be trying to attract the handful of viewers who watched Olberdork’s show. That means he can say the dumbest things as long as he attacks GW Bush or Sarah Palin. He is fat, stupid, deranged and as irrelevant as ever.
