Matthews probes Thompson’s smell, “sex appeal.”
Glenn Greenwald highlighted this series of questions from MSNBC’s Chris Matthews last night:
Does [Fred Thompson] have sex appeal? … Gene, do you think there’s a sex appeal for this guy, this sort of mature, older man, you know? … Can you smell the English leather on this guy, the Aqua Velva, the sort of mature man’s shaving cream, or whatever, you know, after he shaved? Do you smell that sort of — a little bit of cigar smoke? You know, whatever.
Watch it:
Greenwald notes:
What can even be said about that? And nobody really seems to find this odd or disturbing or objectionable at all — that night after night, one of the featured “journalists” of a major news network goes on television and, with some of our most prestigious journalists assembled with him, speaks admiringly about the smells and arousing masculinity and the “daddy” qualities of various political officials, and that this metric is, more or less, the full extent of his political analysis.

Yawn…
June 14th, 2007 at 9:09 pmI felt a little dirty just watching that.
June 14th, 2007 at 9:12 pmDistrubing? Objectionable? I do, I do!
June 14th, 2007 at 9:13 pmThat’s just weird.
I hope I never smell Fred Thompson. I’d say I hope I never think about what Fred smells like, but it’s too late now!
Thanks, Tweety. Ya weirdo.

Hardball: The Scent of a Candidate
June 14th, 2007 at 9:15 pmChrist, Tweety, put your tongue back in your mouth.
Talk about your latent homosexuality…
June 14th, 2007 at 9:16 pmIt’s appalling to see Chris Matthews trivialize the qualities and qualifications for one sitting in the highest office in this country.
June 14th, 2007 at 9:16 pmIs this somehow a defacto exoneration of Bush? The fact that he’s bungled the office so profoundly?? Maybe?

So I went ahead and watched it a couple more times and she has the cutest little hair toss thing going. Sort of an “I’m being bad type deal”
Librarian thing happening with her I am sure.
June 14th, 2007 at 9:16 pmHow old is Fred Thompson anyway? Perhaps the “scent” to which Matthews is referring is coming from his Depends?
June 14th, 2007 at 9:17 pmThank goodness we don’t have smell-o-vision
June 14th, 2007 at 9:17 pmTweety used to say totally weird stuff about GWB, too. Anyone remember what it was?
June 14th, 2007 at 9:18 pmDoes Chris Matthews even listen to himself when he’s drooling over these guys? If Chris heard someone else saying the same thing, he’d probably sh*t!

You are right. Matthews and G. Gordon Liddy both fawned over Bush’s manhood after he landed from that jet on the aircraft carrier without ever once mentioning the obvious reference to Bush’s service, or lack of, in the Alabama Air National Guard and also the fact that he received preferential treatment in getting that safe haven in the Guard, despite the fact that there were many more people eminently more qualified than Bush to have received that coveted spot in the National Guard. Matthews and Liddy also conveniently neglected to mention that when Bush did fly jets, they were flying over the skies of Texas instead of Vietnam.
June 14th, 2007 at 9:29 pmDo you smell the Aqua Velva and the egg-salad and onion fart on this guy?
Do you think he has the Dutch Oven going on under the cover’s every night?
June 14th, 2007 at 9:29 pmtweety has a thing for older men. and who can blame him? thompson is almost as sexy as bob dole.
June 14th, 2007 at 9:35 pmMister Chris M.,
Please don’t forget about “Quagmire No. 13,” the favorite perfume of Morticia Addams, of The Addams Family television show back in the 1960s.
If we are going to discuss scents, smells, or stenches, trying sniffing the smell of the Bush criminals and their two Middle East Quagmires…
What planet is Chris M. on, anyway? Planet man-scent? No wonder people living in other countries think that we are insane…
June 14th, 2007 at 9:35 pmIf you want a good laugh, find your way to the National Review blog “the Corner” from Flight Suit Day. The way the Catholic Women’s League - Katie O’Beirne, Kathryn-Jean Lopez, Rich Lowry (ooops!) were pawing at themselves was absolutely pee-your-pants hilarious.

TP Likey Homos
June 14th, 2007 at 9:43 pmThe problem is, they make it really, really hard to get to their archives. You literally have to click back week by week to get to old pages.
Liberal sites, think TP, Atrios, and DailyKos, always seem to have really easy-to-access archives. If you want to see what they were saying four years ago, it’s just a couple of clicks away. But conservative sites, like National Review or the Weekly Standard, make it really, really hard to look at their old issues and web pages.
Gee, I wonder why that is.
TP writers, if you really want to stick a burr under the wank-o-sphere’s saddle, that would be a good topic to look into.
June 14th, 2007 at 9:46 pmUmmm…eww.
June 14th, 2007 at 9:47 pmThe only smell emanating from Thompson is Fascism. The official perfume of the Republican party.
June 14th, 2007 at 9:53 pmChris Matthews is one confoozed sum’bitch. After slurping at Dubya’s cock back in 2003, he now comes out with this. Does his wife know, I wonder? You’d think she ought to be told….
#12 Zooey:

Enought to make you puke.
BTW, Matthews is an eedjit. The S-3B Viking is not a “supersonic” plane. Not that an expert on manliness would know that kind of thing…. “Geeks” like me read AWST when we were young, and I could still kick Mathhew’s a$$ every which way till Saturday.
FWIW, “Wolf” Blitzer isn’t far behind Matthews on the “manliness appreciation” scale, IMNSHO.
Cheers,
June 14th, 2007 at 9:53 pmI, for one, love his boxy stature.. like a musky freight car travelling along the riverside.
It’s the middle of the summer, midnight, the moths swarm to the trains headlight, only to be pummelled and mashed. Mitt gives off a whistle, a jolly sound, like church bells tolling on Christmas morning. His gigantic white teeth reflect the full moon’s glow so that people hiking on mountains nearby seem to think that the train actually has two wondrous headlights…
… Mitt’s diesel exhaust smells like flowers and the sweetest of candy….

Hi Zoo!

June 14th, 2007 at 10:11 pmI think it is fine that Chris has come out of the closet to make his show the one show that has always been for the gay american. He has always been unapologetic about his homo erotic nature.

June 14th, 2007 at 10:22 pmThe Jobs Americans Aren’t Willing To Do
The U.S. Republican party has decided that no American is qualified to take one of its most crucial positions: California state deputy political director. Instead, the GOP has hired a Canadian for the job through an “H-1B” visa, favored by Silicon Valley tech firms and others displacing skilled American workers. Christopher Matthews, 35, a Canadian citizen, was recently hired as full-time deputy political director, with responsibility for handling campaign operations and information technology for the country’s largest state Republican Party operation. Matthews was hired by Michael Kamburowski, the state GOP’s chief operations officer, who likewise is an Australian citizen. Many Republicans have spoken critically about the impacts of waves of Mexican immigrants. The H-1B visa program is supposed to focus on “specialized workers†whose unique skills are unavailable in the American workforce. According to Labor Department regulations, employers are supposed to make a good-faith effort to hire Americans, and only then rely on “specialized†immigrants if necessary. The California Republican party has decided that in the largest state in the Union, there are no qualified American citizens to serve as California’s GOP deputy political director.

June 14th, 2007 at 10:26 pmTweety could team up with the guy who likes to write manly praise for Mitt Romney, after the 2008 elections they can rent a beach house in Thailand, move in together, and make homemade gay porn.

June 14th, 2007 at 10:32 pmHere is a female perspective. Fred Thompson has NO sex appeal. He is a repellent old fart with a trophy wife. I would wager even his wife shudders with revulsion when she has to preform her wifely duties.
June 14th, 2007 at 10:32 pmBut mostly the odor of Neocon is on him like stink on shit.
June 14th, 2007 at 10:33 pmSmells like WHAT to you?
June 14th, 2007 at 10:34 pmChris Matthews has outed himself as a queer who likes to smell the underarms of older men > lol.
June 14th, 2007 at 10:34 pmChris Matthews is either a creature whose emotional development stopped at the age of five — hence the Daddy fixation — or he is gay. In the former case, he needs intensive therapy to be able to function in normal society. In the latter case, it is about time that he gets out of the closet and get a life.
In both cases, Matthews is a complete idiot.
June 14th, 2007 at 10:35 pmFred Thompson is a neocon globalist not unlike McCain.
Although Fred Thompson is tougher than McCain and Giuliani on border enforcement, which isn’t saying much seeing how they line up with Barack Obama, he had a rather lackluster record on immigration while in the Senate. As one commentator notes: “Overall, Americans for Better Immigration gives [Thompson] a career grade of C; on chain migration, C; visa lottery, C-; reducing unnecessary visas, F; on reducing asylum fraud, C-; on reducing amnesties, D; and on interior enforcement, C+. Although he was tough on border control, he was lacking in almost every other area.”
Fred Thompson also supports affirmative action, and ideologically worships free trade, regardless how much it harms America. Historically, conservatives have opposed free trade, but Thompson, like others, has been “neoconned” into backing it.
He furthermore is a “fellow” at the American Enterprise Institute, one of the largest (and most sinister) neocon think-tanks, which demonstrates where his true loyalty lies. If you did not receive the Burkean memo, the transformation of the Middle East to liberal democracy is Jacobin, not conservative. There is not a single thing conservative about the membership of AEI. They are neocon / neoliberal globalists.
Why are neoncons backing Thompson? Ideally, being ex-Trotskyites themselves, neocons would prefer a liberal candidate, like McCain, Giuliani or Romney. But they see that conservatives deplore these candidates, and now are going to try to peddle Fred Thompson, who is just socially conservative enough and just tough enough on the borders, even if it is feigned, to woo naive GOP voters. But let’s hope this nefarious neocon plot fails.
Let’s pray that the more real conservatives learn about Fred Thompson, the more unacceptable he will appear. Use your BRAIN America, and not fall for sharply dressed, full set of ’sexy’ hair (Romney/Edwards), nor for someone who ‘Acts’ on TV.
A Dean of a College I know was touting a large RUDY sign. I asked him why Rudy, and he said, “Because he’s from MY state…I gotta support the home team!”. This guy has a MASTERS DEGREE and TEACHES! He has no friggin clue. I encourage all of you to not vote on ‘popularity’ but rather on who is the best candidate for the job. Fred Thompson will KEEP US IN IRAQ FOR A LONG LONG TIME according to his Fox News interview. Please research for yourselves America. It should make you puke if you truely knew who some of these people are.

Good advice. Don’t pick your candidate based on meaningless trivialities like how good his hair looks, or his chiseled features, or his smell. Choose your candidate based on qualifications to do the job the way our framers meant it to be done - for ALL Americans, not just the ones who voted for you. (As former Ambassador and Current A-hole John Bolton said.)
June 14th, 2007 at 10:49 pmLooks like Matthews is yearning for a “prostate massage.”
June 14th, 2007 at 10:49 pmIn #33, they are saying (or making it sound as if they are saying) that Bush was in control of the plane during landing on the aircraft carrier. But he wasn’t, was he? I remember they had to turn the carrier around or else the pictures would have shown how close they were to the coast–maing a trip by jet ridiculous.
Jon Stewart said Fred Thompson reminded him of the Frankenberry cereal character.

If Chris and the hillbilly crowd want real “man smell,” a truly macho scent, how about “Navy Seal musk.” You know, we’re talking a combination of sweaty ball musk, bunghole stank, and underarm sweat after staking out an insurgent hut for 14 hours in stifling heat, trying to track down a enemy leader. Now THAT would be real “man smell,” if that’s what turns on the 101st Fighting Keyboarders, and not some dime store aftershave. If the Keyboarders are gonna pop stiffies over “man smells,” they might as well get it right and search out a GOP candidate with the most intoxicating blend of special forces ball musk and bung stank. I mean, can’t these bucktoothed, “W” bumper-stickered posers get ANYTHING right?

Absolutely! The homeliest man in Hollywood. And he looks like he smells like old cheese.
June 15th, 2007 at 12:42 amChris Matthews is a loyal Bushie and a drunk. He’s acting out because Libby is going to jail. Chris got his job by attacking Bill Clinton. Now he has a fixation on both Bill and Hillary Clinton. His job is to say he’s fair/balance yet lie for the White House. Chris like the extra paycheck given to him by the White House. As for Fred ( Law/Order) well with his resent comments about lying under oath not being a crime as he support the convicted criminal Libby. We know he was only reading the TV script and is clueless about the legal system. Thompson is in this election for the money only. The GOP is so desperate that they called him to act like a President. Poor Mitt can’t even buy his way in. Rudy works for the Mob and is a cross dresser. McCain was told he would be the next President so he hugged Bush and lied for the GOP. Now they have turned their back on him, as must of the time McCain is sleep.

Comment by big papa
When a young woman marries a Fred Thompson type it’s for money and prestige. She saves her romance for the pool boy.
June 15th, 2007 at 12:47 amYa know, a girl’s got her limits….so, I’d say yes. :-D

Do think there’s a surcharge for certain, pre-defined “extras�

I’m sure! But I think Chris Mathews would do them all for free.
June 15th, 2007 at 12:51 amTP sure knows how to play you guys. I can just see em sitting back laughing about how you will go on about these kinds of posts. You all never fail to amuse. ;)

And you chumps believe that he took the watch off and put it in his pocket. YOU CAN SEE the guy taking it off his wrist. Who are you going to believe, George Bush or your own lying eyes? You true believers need deprogramming.

Of course, there’s also the hilarious take-off that SCTV did, substituting “Iraqi Oil Ministers”, “Cheese Hostesses”, etc., instead of “cousins.”

Welcome to the Republic™, Downright Nasty. Getting a little cranky, are we? You have yet to say anything meaningful here, just attack me. You intrude into MY space and insult me, personally, and I’m stupid? F*#k you, you clueless A**wipe. You SO belong in the Republic™, dunce.

I didn’t see that. I just can’t believe you remembered all the words to that song. That was a long time ago.

Don’t get me started on old TV theme songs. I’ll just end up writing more parodies of them. (Not that I mind, but I’m sure others do.)

Well I like them!
June 15th, 2007 at 1:20 amThank you, shane. Now, for my next number…
June 15th, 2007 at 1:25 amHi y’all - (Hi Zooey, doing great! We’re painting our house and it won’t be salmon puke anymore! That’s my big deal of the week).
Tweety needs a vacation. Me too.
June 15th, 2007 at 1:41 amChris Matthews said that George W. Bush “BELONGS ON MT. RUSHMORE”.
He has also compared Bush to the good traits of:
FDR
Lincoln
Truman
Eisenhower
Winston Churchill
It’s very noticeable how he drools over Bush and other Republican men like this. Just yesterday, he said to Trent f’ing Lott that he “is a well-spring of common sense.” TRENT LOTT! I think Chris is either in the closet or has deep resentment for women. Whenever he has women on his show, he talks to them like they are dumber than dirt and constantly interrupts them - especially strong women. Look how obsessed he is with insulting Hillary Clinton and injecting those insults into conversations that have absolutely nothing to do with her. Something is up with that guy.
He thinks Republicans are qualified to be President based on the way he thinks that they smell?! Cigars and Aqua Velva? THAT aroma makes one qualified? He likes Rudy because he “had soot on his face on 9/11″. As far as Fred Thompson goes, he looks like a combination of Jabba the Hut and Droopy. How Chris Matthews can say he has good Hollywood star looks is beyond me. What’s up with Chris’s hair anyway? He was a brunette most of his life and now he is a platinum blonde. Do you guys ever notice how he always looks to the side with a smirk before he cuts away for a commercial? He’s looking at the monitor to see himself.

June 15th, 2007 at 3:45 amoh, sorry that double posted! :( It said ‘error’ the first time I hit post so I thought that it didn’t go through.)
June 15th, 2007 at 3:46 amIt’s just creepy…

I’m finally beginning to understand why Republicans hate women so much.
June 15th, 2007 at 6:40 amStop watching cable “news” entertainment.
June 15th, 2007 at 7:31 amPaige,
Don’t feel too bad about the double post. It’s been happening to a lot of people, for exactly the same reason as you. Perhaps TP will take notice and fix the problem before it happens to someone posting a long, two-screen diatribe, and then re-posts it because the error message said it didn’t go through.
June 15th, 2007 at 7:50 amSmells more like vomit to me. Yuk… no sex appeal at all.
June 15th, 2007 at 7:59 amâ€wifely dutiesâ€â€¦
…whatever happened to romance?â€wifely dutiesâ€â€¦
…whatever happened to romance?
With Fred Thompson, that’s exactly all it would be “wife duties”, yuk. She probably keeps her eyes close and pictures someone else.
June 15th, 2007 at 8:21 amEwww.
Could you imagine Fred sitting in a beachtower, splashing himself with Auqa Velva, and then running down the beach in slow motion?
Sorry, but sex appeal is not something anyone should ever try to apply to politics and old men, I mean, this is not a sexually healthy trend, next thing ya know we will be inundated with political ads with old men in speedos.
Pepto Bismol sales would however skyrocket.
June 15th, 2007 at 8:43 amA couple of nights ago, Chris Matthews made a direct plea for viewers to keep ratings up. He thanked viewers and almost begged for their loyalty. He must be reading the writing on the wall. He’s so over.
June 15th, 2007 at 8:47 amChris Matthews is a twit and a media whore. That’s all that needs to be said.
June 15th, 2007 at 9:21 amAs a hetero male I am not really qualified to speak on Thompson’s “sex appeal”. That said, I always thought he looked like he should be under some bridge charging tolls.
June 15th, 2007 at 9:49 amEwwww…….
June 15th, 2007 at 10:24 amFunny how sexuality was a TERRIBLE thing when Clinton was president.
But when Bush wears a codpiece on the aircraft carrier, one of the female right wingnuts writes: “Women will say WHAT A MAN!”
And now Matthews does the same thing with Thompson, a washed-up actor and Rapeublican lobbyist. Makes him the RNC “choice”.
June 15th, 2007 at 11:11 amLOL! Chris must like older “daddy” types. Something very gay about that whole speech he made.
June 15th, 2007 at 11:12 amThompson is a Republican, which means there is only one thing he can smell like.
June 15th, 2007 at 2:18 pmCan you say “man-crush”?
June 15th, 2007 at 3:22 pmgreat comments!
June 15th, 2007 at 5:07 pmhis behavior has become so bizzare that i have stopped watching his show. he’s a massagenistic relic. the very thought of a woman holding the hightest office in our country drives him out of his mind. he’s not the only one either. is he trying to call his sexuality into question by drooling over thompson? makes you wonder.
opps. didnt spell check my comment. lol
misogynistic.
