OMG Chris Matthews just had a moment of zen
Edited on Wed Feb-02-05 11:42 PM by neoteric lefty
He just had a possionate exchange about how the American people are NOT seeing the true price of this war for our boys and girls. He talked about the 10,000+ wounded soldiers from this war. He talked about how the media is too squeemish to show all the tragic events happening. It was brief, but I was very suprised.

22. I think I've had a revelation...Chris M. likes to be on the side of
whoever wins. I know other people like that, too. I guess he thinks it makes him always look like a winner. It just makes him look like an ass.

4. He is against the Iraqi War but he gets easily swept up in the BS PR
campaigns the Republicans throw out.

7. He also really loves tradition in politics, he was sickening the day
after the election, he was sickening at the inaugural, and he has been irritating tonight. Is Ron Reagan the only dem he is going to talk to tonight?????

17. I believe you are right. He is the only opposition to these repubs
that we have heard, though.

19. That's right
Tweety in particular seemed to have wall-to-wall Republicans all night.

24. Yup not one demo
except for Reagan. I think they have to let him on personally because of how much respect they have for his father. Which is kinda funny I think.

20. I can't believe they are trying to argue that this wasn't staged. Ron was
right. Tweety and Scarborough are not THAT stupid, are they?

was sorry she had to go cause he would be all alone again.

5. It's his occasional moment of, "Maybe I should be doing my job."
A second later: "Nahhh...."

31. It's a reference to song lyrics -- ergo, the quotes.
Edited on Thu Feb-03-05 01:07 AM by necso
"Everything is Free", Gillian Welch.

Everything is free now,
That's what they say.
Everything I ever done,
Gonna give it away.
Someone hit the big score,
They figured it out,
That we're gonna do it anyway,
Even if doesn't pay.

8. maybe he's starting to feel a bit guilty
because he bashed John Kerry all through the campaign. So busy making himself look cool--look what he helped create.

28. Actually, he had many moments during the campaign where he reamed on
stupid republicans who didn't do their homework. But like many have said on this thread, he's very inconsistent. It's funny when he starts attacking someone because it's so out of the blue. I think he did vote for Kerry, but I bet he'd never admit it for career reasons.

Too bad he's such a Repug brown noser the other 90% of the time. That's why I stopped watching him.

12. I'm thinking...bi-polar! I couldn't believe it myself!
I loved it when he stood Joe "Blowhard" Scumbag down and completely backed Ron Reagan's point of view! I was stunned! Something pissed Matthews off and he actually experienced a "real" moment for a change! I'm almost tempted to send him a line or two telling him I liked what I saw!

21. He truly is schizo -- you never know what's going to come out next
Even he sometimes looks surpised by the things he suddenly blurts out.
