Chris Matthews: Simpleton Bush* Not Chief
Go figure. Or maybe tune in tomorrow to see Chris flip again. Pardon the source.

Staff gave him 'something to think about for the 1st time in his life'

In a speech to university students, MSNBC host Chris Matthews characterized President Bush as a shallow-thinking, unlearned man who when confronted by aides with the decision about going to war with Iraq was given something to think about for the first time in his life.

The Bush administration's rationale for the Iraq war was "nonsense" and totally dishonest, Matthews told a gathering of 200 students at Brown University this week, according to the Woonsocket Call newspaper in Rhode Island.

Vice President Richard Cheney was "behind it all," contended Matthews, who served as an aide to the late House Speaker Tip O'Neill of Massachusetts and wrote speeches for former President Jimmy Carter.

"The whole neo-conservative power vortex, it all goes through his office," Matthews said, referring to Cheney, according to the paper. "He has become the chief executive. He's not the chief operating officer, he's running the place. It's scary."

Sources tell WND that management at MSNBC are becoming increasingly perturbed at Matthews for his outspoken criticism of Bush.

(snip)

Matthews disclosed he favors former Vermont governor Howard Dean for president in 2004, according to the Rhode Island daily.

6. Damned confusing.
Considering his 100% conservative belligerence on view every night on MSNBC, one can only conclude he's a Sybil-like schizophrenic, or a compulsive liar on his show, or outside his show.

8. I don't know if Tweety is really conservative....
or whether he just plays a right-wing whacko on TV because he doesn't have the guts to risk his job doing the right thing (not the right wing)?

4. Dumbo Bush
I think after he "wins" the next election, Bush will be thrown to the wolves and impeached. Then Cheney will be Prez.

Aren't they moving towards more faux style news?

10. Ummmm, he's for Dean???
Matthews said, however, Dean's problem is the American people have to decide, "do you put a lefty in at a time of crisis?"

Yup, that sounds like a Dean supporter all right. Not!

13. Tweety...
does not have any real political views. His views are based on who he is talking too or working for. When he is at Brown Univ. he is in front of a mostly liberal crtowd and will talk Bush down. When he is on his show at MSGOP he knows who his bosses are and he acts like the whore he really is. He is a very shallow person who is just in it for himself!
