Jack Welch on Hardball with Chris Matthews (8:37)

1. Chris gave him a chance.

When Jack see Martin Bashir asking Ezra Klein analysis of this he'll faint.

2. Small business (the real kind) is speaking to the TEA Party: Obama's tax plans and healthcare

plans will help us. Obama's plans will help the consumers that do business with us. In return, we are hiring.

3. Their new game plan: Lie, then Deny

Mitt's doing it. Welch is doing it. They are all very practiced at it on an intermittent basis, but now they are going full steam, 24/7, no breaks, no truths to try and grab the presidency where nothing else has worked.

They Lie.

Then Deny.

And spend big bucks right before the election to try and take our president out using a slash and burn, destroy and take no prisoners strategy, because that is what you do when you feel the thing you have worked for all along is now falling into a pile of NOTHING, right before your eyes.

When kids throw tantrums, it isn't because they are feeling wronged. It is because they have come to the conclusion that they have no other options and it is the only thing they have left in their kit to throw out.

So watch out over the next month, because they are going to throw everything out there to see what sticks. Why? Because you see, they have nothing to lose. They have nothing left.

Their souls already have a 'vacant' sign on them.

5. I don't care how much money Jack Welch has made...

or that he was CEO of one of the largest tax loophole companies in the US...he is a hack. To put out such an ignorant statement...exactly 5 minutes after the numbers were released means that he shoots from the hip without thinking. Yes, this is where I want my money invested. I would want my money invested with people who have values. Obviously a rare breed out there I bet.

Martin Bashir said it right over this same topic...and I am paraphrasing here...when the numbers were above 8% they didn't care but as soon as it went below 8%, there is no longer trust in the numbers...and the conspiracies start flying. Just like the recent poll numbers showing Obama ahead.

6. This reminded me of the time Michael Moore went to interview Charleton Heston.

I was mad at Moore that time because he caught a good guy on the wrong side of an issue at weak moment in his life.

The difference here is that Matthews is catching a bad guy on the wrong side of an issue at a weak moment of his life.

Tweety sort of wheeled him on to an ice floe and pushed him out to sea and I liked it. I don't think we'll be seeing much of "neutron jack" in the future.

7. The more you get to see these idiots, the more the horror hits you that they are considered "smart".
