Chris Matthews not interested in being the ‘big shit.’

Chris Matthews not interested in being the ‘big shit.’
He was “against this bullshit war from the very beginning.” Tonight, Hardball host Chris Matthews argued, “If you want America to be a hegemonic power in the Middle East, you’re out of step with the American people. We’re not going to fight it out with Iran for the next 30 years to see who the big shit — I’m sorry — the big name is on the block.” Watch it:

Potty mouth, Tweety.
Heh.
January 17th, 2007 at 7:13 pmYou can just see the greatness in this man./;-)
January 17th, 2007 at 7:14 pmhUH…?
January 17th, 2007 at 7:18 pmThat’s my title.
Dick “Big Shit” Cheney.

January 17th, 2007 at 7:21 pmListen carefully and you hear the Straussian neocons gritting their teeth.
January 17th, 2007 at 7:22 pmWhat an assh*le!
Played to the Repubs when it was convenient for him to do so - even gushed over Bush’s Mission Accomplished PR stunt!
Now that the winds of change has blown to the left, he’s acting like Tip O’Neil’s guy again?
Disgusting!
Tip is rolling in his grave right now.
January 17th, 2007 at 7:22 pmCalled like it is. Good for him
January 17th, 2007 at 7:23 pmWhat happened to Mr. “Today We Are All NeoCons” Matthews
January 17th, 2007 at 7:24 pmI don’t care what he said or what side he was on yesterday. I’m happy he’s telling it like it is today.
January 17th, 2007 at 7:31 pmIt’s nice to see him return from his ride into republican-wanabe-land. I had written the guy off. Bummer he’s so maliable but at least it’s an indication the cracks in the chennymachine are so evident.
January 17th, 2007 at 7:34 pmTweety runs where it is most expedient for him. He is a phony who cares only about his ratings.
I am so sick of him talking about Hillary Clinton that I could scream. He is constantly bringing up her name. Did he try to get a position with the Clinton administration as press secretary and was passed over in favor of someone else? It is weird–he is obsessive about her.

January 17th, 2007 at 7:40 pmHe blows hot and cold. Now that the ship is sinking, he wants to be on the side that has been right all along. His show is so tiresome and predictable. All he talks about is Hillary Clinton–he is forever injecting her name into discussions. I’m not going to put up with that for the next 22 months.
Did he try and get the job as press secretary to the Clinton administration and get passed over? He acts like the jilted boyfriend.
Tweety, you have no class–just a very big mouth.
January 17th, 2007 at 7:44 pmSorry about the duplicate post. My bad!!
January 17th, 2007 at 7:46 pm“get that off the tape” hahahaha
January 17th, 2007 at 7:47 pmoops…
Sorry, to some extent I may be pleased to see Matthews wander from the Republiscum position he has ascribed to, but in the whole scheme of things, he is simply a TV man interested in ratings. He is a leaf in the wind blowing to the favored direction of the day.
Just tonight, I wrote him to say that he neglected to challenge a Republiscum who asserted that the word “surge” in regard to the troops was a Democratic smear of the true word, “reinforcement.”
January 17th, 2007 at 7:49 pmFrom the White House, we all heard “surge” dozens of times; the Dems said it was an escalation. This new word “reinforcement” has been dreamed up by Duncan Hunter and Matthews just let it go.
This is a small point, but Tweety does it all the time.
If Chris Matthews is supposed to be a serious journalist (unbiased) does it make sense that he states his opposition to the war? It sounds like a convenient case of monday morning quarterbacking to me. He probably now recalls that he was against the polyester and platform shoes he wore in the seventies when he worked for Tip O’Neal.
January 17th, 2007 at 7:50 pmpaul sez:
It’s funny, isn’t it, that when Chris expresses his opposition to the war, gets lambasted for not being ‘objective’, while Gretchen Carlson can call a United States Senator a ‘hostile enemy’ of the United States, but she can get away with it because she’s just a ‘commentator’?
Double standard, anyone?
To be entirely fair, the vast majority of us were voicing our objections during the coin toss, before the ‘football game’ even began, thanks.
paul, please leave the wit to the professionals. Kthx.
January 17th, 2007 at 7:59 pmpaul,
that’s what really gets my goat about this guy!
I grew up in Cambridge, MA.
Tip lived on Russell St, two streets away from me.
His funeral was @ St. John’s - the very church I was baptized in. My daughter baptized in. My Nana’s funeral. My parents were married in!!!
There was loyalty, then. Trust.
He broke it.
January 17th, 2007 at 8:00 pmI have zero respect for the man.
Sorry for the rant. I have personal ties that color me on this one. Grrrr.
So the ’shit filter’ has been disabled, and we don’t have to type it as $hit or sh!t anymore?
What about the f*ck filter? :D
January 17th, 2007 at 8:02 pmF*ck filter still in place. Beware of name hijacking, though.
January 17th, 2007 at 8:07 pmAwwwwwww, TP cussed, I’m gonna tell.
January 17th, 2007 at 8:33 pmpaul, please leave the wit to the professionals. Kthx.

January 17th, 2007 at 8:35 pmSo hows the weather in here, is the rachel b from banana land gone yet?
January 17th, 2007 at 8:36 pmChrissy is pretty maleable alright. Kinda seems flippity floppity to me.
January 17th, 2007 at 8:38 pmLooks like the rachel b from banana land is still lurking.
January 17th, 2007 at 8:56 pmYou hear that Bush? We don’t need to be the big shit in the middle east.

January 17th, 2007 at 9:08 pmI want to be the big shit in energy science…. whos with me?
January 17th, 2007 at 9:18 pmWell at least Matthews claims he is against the Iraq War now. The more who turn against the Bush Regime the better for Americans.
January 17th, 2007 at 9:22 pmRachel b
If anythings gonna get us all turned into salt, it will be because of killing other people, corruption, greed, hate, and general self-denial that you are supporting this.
January 17th, 2007 at 9:25 pmWhen neocon propagandists jump ship you know the iceberg has breached all watertight compartments and the cold, cold water of reality is slowly but steadily penetrating each and every stateroom of denial…
January 17th, 2007 at 9:28 pmBy better, do you mean a better chance for Americans to be the renewed focus of Islamic jihadists domestically (in the U.S.) without the distraction of the war in Iraq? (no attempt at humor, by request)
January 17th, 2007 at 9:33 pmI think Matthews has been against the war for quite a while now. I’m glad he’s angry about it–we need all the help we can get in this fight against Bush’s unnecessary war (even from a person like Chris Matthews, who can drive you crazy).
January 17th, 2007 at 9:34 pmHeaven’s—I thought we were the more temperate side of the conservative/liberal divide—that we welcomed those who see the error of their ways. You know, everyone has to seek commonality in order to overwhelm this horrible administration, and we have to do it soon. The more people who agree with us, the better the chance for impeachment. More and more people will become disillusioned, and the U.S. citizens will PUT impeachment on the table, whether this congress likes it or not!

Chris Matthews does give me the gee-bees. Hold it! Hold it! Are those the ‘WORDS’? No! No! I’m confused. Oh! Oh! It’s the B-E-E G-E-E-S. Bee Gees! Bee Gees! Bee Gees! Bee Gees!
How can you understand this guy, anyway. He talks about a mile a minute. He’s at the extreme polar opposite of Dumbo who talks about an inch a minute.
BTW, give Dumbo an inch and he’ll take a mile.
Chris Matthews, as Press Secretary, would very interesting indeed.
War, war, war, war, war, war. I’m sick of this war. This is absolutely, positively the dumbest, strangest war America has fought.

Comment by midwestblue — January 17, 2007 @ 9:34 pm
Very true midwest-However, some of us are really pissed at tweety for sucking up to the rethugs the last 6 years and at every chance taking a shot Bill Clinton. He hates the Clintons for some reason and he needs to get off that.

January 17th, 2007 at 10:07 pmOkay, okay, okay, okay, okay so you don’t lke the Bee Gees. Not everyone does. That’s for sure.
Most likely you were one of the guys throwing disco records at that baseball game 25 years ago. Relax! Relax! Play a Yanni album and calm down now.
Barry Gibb did buy Johnny Cash’s house outside of Nashville. That takes nerve for a disco artist to go country.
Have a nice day, guy. Bring a little love and joy into this world. I try to.

January 17th, 2007 at 10:10 pmHardball continues to bring up the bottom of the nightly cable ratings and has so for years. On a good night he manages to draw 400,000 viewers, but normally he’s between 250 and 300,000. I don’t know how this guy stays on the air?
Phil Donahue drew more viewers then Tweety does but he got the axe. hmmmm. On the night of the Presidents treasonous and crminal speech announcing an ESCALATION, MSNBC teamed Matthews up with Keith Olbermann, so that Matthews could hang onto Keith’s coattails.
Matthews narcissistically named themselves “Huntley and Brinkley”. LOL. He’s nothing but a rude and condescending talk show host. He waves his finger in the air to gauge where popular opinion is at, so that he can decide what position to take.
I am sick and tired of Matthews allowing neocon shrills like Vin Weber to get away with labeling those who want to get out of that hellhole (that armpit of ungrateful and murdering Iraqi’s)as liberal cut and runners. SECOND VERSE SAME AS THE FIRST.
I hate to break this to you Vin, but that BS was rejected this past November. Matthews needs to slap these warmongering killers down with a comeback like this:
“Withdrawing from a Civil War is not CUTTING AND RUNNING you Bald Headed moron, it’s called common sense and morality.

Zooey, ever notice that queer love (no pun intended) that a certain class of people have for homophobic insults? Really strange. I wonder what Sigmund Freud would have to say about it.
Plenty, I expect.
January 17th, 2007 at 10:21 pmEasy, Zooey…she’s so not worth it.
After all, it’s obvious that she can’t help herself. The mentally impaired can’t be held responsible for their actions.
The TP admins, on the other hand, can and will be held accountable for their inexplicable failure to uphold their own Terms of Service on this site. If you need a target for your anger, Zooey, you needn’t look further than Judd. He’s the one who is truly responsible here.

January 17th, 2007 at 10:23 pmMatthews didn’t bother to mention that his guest, Vin Weber, is a PNAC member. Yeah, I guess he has more than a passing interest in seeing us pour more lives and money into that giant rathole in the Middle East.
January 17th, 2007 at 10:29 pmZooey & JoeFriday,
Thanks so much for your posts. I’m used to this type of response, so it’s nothing new to me.

January 17th, 2007 at 10:57 pmI have a Twenty Bucks, Same as in Town blogwhoring post up and this one’s a little special. In case you all haven’t been to the Carpetbagger Report or Firedoglake itself, Jane Hamsher’s been diagnosed with breast cancer. It’s serious enough to keep her out of the courtroom during the Libby trial. And if you know Jane, you’d know there’s no other place on earth that she’d rather be than in that courtroom sitting next to Arianna.
This comes on the heels of FDL experiencing a financial crunch and Cristie Smith has taken it upon herself to appeal for donations both through Paypal and directly to FDL’s snailmail address so Jane doesn’t have to worry about the blog’s future.
So stop by my place and get the links and the address if you’re disposed to send some cash or even encouragemnt and support to Jane in this trying time.
Thanks.

Have you heard the latest Bee Gees album-it ROCKS! It has this great track “Mental ward -what is it good for ? -YOU and your loofha ” it is a toe tapper.
January 17th, 2007 at 11:00 pmChris Matthews really pissed me off tonight…
…there was a Democrat congressman (newly elected from Minnesota)…
…said he was a retired CSM (Command Sargeant Major)
…up against Duncan (Goebbels) Hunter…
…the Democrat was cutting Hunter a new a*shole…
…Chris took away the Democrat’s momentum and gave the floor to Hunter…
…then followed up with a softball question to Hunter…
…allowing Hunter to eat up the remainder of the time (@ 90 seconds) with his (Hunter/Goebbel’s) Bush bal* lickin’ claptrap…
…the Dem was visibly exasperated at not having an opportunity to respond…
…as was I…
…Chris Matthews is a Clinton-hating, fence-straddling piece of dog excrement…
January 17th, 2007 at 11:04 pmThanks all-it has been fun. I admit I have the Bee Gees and on some rare nights I play it real loud. Jack Black may be involved.

Your man is here right now trying to f*ck me, but I won’t let him, because he’s been around you. I told him to go swim in the sewer first, and then maybe I’d consider it.
January 17th, 2007 at 11:09 pmZooey, Hope the answer on the “Soldiers thread” helped some. BTW, I talked to my base commander today. HE was sooooo mad about Rachel’s phone call (that HE never got) that HE turned into a SHE. (Actually that happened around 1960ish)
So, the lying little troll likes to play?
All I can say is, If a troll screams on a thread and no one acknowledges it, is she still an idiot?

Tweety is trying to save his job he’ll say anything now. Chris got his career by attacking Dems and Bill Clinton. Chris did just as he was paid to do by Bush he lied/spinned/blamed the Dems for everything. He attacked Michael Moore for telling the truth. Now that Chris will be on the witness stand in the Libby Case he acts like he was against the GOP all along. I hope the NBC Executives are listening to the lies Chris is telling. Fitz will bust him in court and his job will be up for grabs. Bad mouthing Rummy wont do it this time. Chris is to deep in the corruption of his friends the GOP to back out now. Now he sounds more like Tony Snow the born again liar.
January 18th, 2007 at 12:54 amI think this is indicative of what has happened to the media over the last 20 years or so. He let his true feelings slip out in a moment of frustration and anger. It goes to prove that these guys aren’t neo-cons in the media, but instead they are scared shitless over pissing off the administration. It’s disgusting. He would never have let a bombshell like that slip if he didn’t have some pretty strong feelings about the war being bad. Too bad he let it slip 5 years too late.
Although I am thrilled to see the veneer coming off of the MSM, it doesn’t improve my opinion of any of them one bit. They had their chance when it could have made a real difference. It was their responsibility to give us the real information and truth in 2002-2003, they didn’t-Tweety included. They blew it, and although I’m grateful that they are beginning to get on the right side of this conflict, they are all still a day late and a dollar short. One possible by-product may be, hopefully, them not allowing the same lies and rhetoric to get us into Iran. Maybe they will finally do their damned jobs.
January 18th, 2007 at 1:26 amGive us guns – and troops can go, says Iraqi leader
America’s refusal to give Baghdad’s security forces sufficient guns and equipment has cost a great number of lives, the Iraqi Prime Minister said yesterday.
Nouri al-Maliki said the insurgency had been bloodier and prolonged because Washington had refused to part with equipment. If it released the necessary arms, US forces could “dramatically†cut their numbers in three to six months, he told The Times.
NO WONDER NO WONDER NO WONDER - Give them weapons and go home
January 18th, 2007 at 4:35 amOne of the few men in the current and former US Congress having consistently been against the war and always opposing its funding, is running for presidency. If you listen to what he has to say, you know where the 38 cents on every tax dollar US citizens pay COULD go to … and guess what, none would go to the war. Want a fresh approach on Iraq, and not more of the same, as Bush is proposing? Do you love North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania? Or do you love only one or a few of those six? It does not matter: peace is inclusive, as it serves the needs of all, whilst war is exclusive, because it serves the needs of a few.
January 18th, 2007 at 7:30 amUS politics sure is weird, seen from this side of the Atlantic. All these candidates seem to have identical policies, except for slight disagreements about how many Iraquis to kill before they get bored and move on to screwing
January 18th, 2007 at 7:42 amI saw some of Hardball (beechball) last night.
Mr. Matthews had republican Duncan Hunter and democrat Tim Waltz? on.
It was painfully clear, by that interview, that Mr. Matthews is not interested in being unbiased.
Rep. Hunter had a ton of air time compared to rep. Tim Waltz. Hunter used the age old political ploy of talking and talking to use up air time.
Tim Waltz was passionate and effective. He was taking Hunter to the woodshed. Hunter was given much more air time to make his points. Waltz was not allowed to respond a second time to Hunter. Matthews, conveniently, went to a comercial break.
It is disturbing that Think Progress is backing up Chris Matthews in this way. TP did it once last week as well. Makes me wonder.
For the most part, Mr. Matthews talks out of both sides of his mouth. Tries to come across as moderate. He seems to take every position at one time or another, just to cover his ass. That’s what politicians try to do.
I hate to say this, but at least Joe Scarborough is consistent. I know he is a conservative republican. He does not try to hide it. He is also, solidly, against the troop escalation. While I don’t agree with almost anything he says, I do feel like I know where he stands.
People like Chris Matthews are more dangerous. They try not to be pinned down to one position on controversial issues. Sorry, but there is word for people who do not stand up for anything.

Sorry, didn’t mean to post that twice.
January 18th, 2007 at 8:05 amRight on brother. And after the show he went to Tom Delay’s house and gave him a blowjob.

Don’t bet on it Squirrel…
…those corporate owned scum have totally ignored what surely 65% of the country knows needs to be done to rectify the situation this criminal Bushite junta has put us in…
…IMPEACHMENT…
…the msm refuses to even bring up the subject…
…no polling data, not a whisper or hint except to say…
…”Impeachment is impossible because the republicans won’t break ranks.”
…If this mofo starts to burn they will…

Tim Walz. I watched almost the entire Hardball but missed the last ten minutes. I suppose that’s when they had Tim on. He’s a good guy. They’ve already given him a chance to give the Dems’ response to Bush’s weekly radio address. He’s going to do really well in Congress.
January 18th, 2007 at 10:35 amMatthews is not the big shit on the block, he’s the dogshit on the walk.
He was always a gung-ho supporter of the invasion.
Doesn’t anyone recall his homo-erotic gushing and surging over Bush’s codpiece and “manly bearing” in that flightsuit? It was positively pornographic, and utterly disgusting.
Is this what US society has come to: you can just change your blather at any moment and abjure all responsibility for everything that you’ve said and done previously?
That country is doomed. It is a decadent watermelon republic.
The rest of us out here in the world hate you, and for good reason.
January 18th, 2007 at 1:07 pmChris Matthews is a political whore and bends over for whoever holds the edge of the power-dildo. I remember in the not-so-distant past that Chris was so polite and so easy on his right-wing-nut friends who stopped by to visit his “fair and unbiased” show. Now, he acts so different. I don’t forget how it was just a short year ago, though.
January 18th, 2007 at 4:20 pmCouldn’t agree with Randy more. When his old buddy (Matthews refers to him as such) Tom DeLay comes on the show, you could almost see Mathews going to his knees. Disgusting! When Howard Dean comes on the show, C.M. hardly lets him get a word in between insults to the Democratic party. Panders to whoever is in power. - Thats OK. Maybe we’ll see some well deseved bowing to the Dems now.
January 18th, 2007 at 6:00 pmNo kidding, I’m not the biggest fan of Chris but apparently he has an outlet for the testosterone pulsing through his veins- unlike Cheney who has to be driven to the prey so he can lift up his gun and kill it. Pitiful, wish they would start a GOP arm wrestling event- maybe we could stop destroying the world? hmmm..
