Does Chris Mathews Need a Brain Transplant?

by Janet Crain
Sadly, it would appear that he does. His condition is further complicated by a severe infection by hoof and mouth disease manifested by an uncontrollable compunction to insert his ~~hoof~~ foot in his mouth every time the name Obama is mentioned. Doctors consider his condition guarded.

MSNBC Follows Bush with Mathews' Diatribe

Chris Mathews, who has made a complete fool of himself during Obama's entire campaign has now sunk to a new low. Deriding and mocking a standing President he just couldn't let exit gracefully. JC

MSNBC Follows Bush with Bush-Bashing
Diatribe from Matthews

Democrats and Republicans have the class to allow a President to deliver his farewell address without having it immediately countered by a crass and petty rant from a political opponent trying to settle old scores while issuing cheap insults. Not MSNBC.

Seconds after President George W. Bush completed his speech Thursday evening, MSNBC's Countdown featured a diatribe from Chris Matthews ridiculing Bush for picking up, "almost in the way a hermit crab does," some "scary" notions from the nefarious "neo-conservatives."

The condescending Matthews raged:

"He was a rich kid driving his father's car. He got to be President because of his father, let's face it, the same way he got into school and everything else, the same way he got his car probably. But the scary thing about Bush is somewhere he came to meet people like Dick Cheney and Scooter Libby and Paul Wolfowitz and Feith and the rest of them...
"The scary thing about Bush is he picked up on -- almost in the way that a hermit crab does -- another identity in becoming President....He became this new scholar of freedom, and he's going to spend the rest of his life selling this stuff. This stuff cost the lives of 100,000 Iraqis, it cost the lives of 4,000 U.S. service people....
"The idea that we have some brand new neo-conservative ideology of freedom that's going to bring peace over in that part of the world is not true, and he's still selling it, and that's the tragedy of the last eight years."

Before Bush spoke, the MRC's Brad Wilmouth noticed, Matthews had laughingly derided the suggestion the fact Bush reads books means he has "knowledge." The exchange at the end of Hardball:

CHRIS MATTHEWS: John Kerry, who's not good at telling jokes, a couple of years ago, told a joke about, "If you don't study at school, you end up in Iraq," and that was misconstrued by his critics, like Senator Clinton, to mean you'll be drafted. What he meant, it was clearly what he meant to say was, "If you don't study, if you don't have intellectual curiosity, you don't understand the world, you make mistakes like taking America into an Islamic country and become an army of occupation." Was his lack of curiosity and interest in subjects like the Middle East the biggest problem of this President, he lacked curiosity about what he was doing?
SUSAN PAGE, USA TODAY: I don't know that I think that's true. I mean, President Bush, in fact, has been a big reader, he says, and I believe him, that he's read a lot of history, but I'm not sure-
[LAUGHTER FROM OTHER GUESTS: ROGER SIMON AND BOB SHRUM]
MATTHEWS: You can hear the laughter because he said he read the books, but is there any evidence of knowledge?

Is Chris Mathews Serious?

Chris Matthews is dead serious about running for the Senate in Pennsylvania - and shopping for a house in the state and privately discussing quitting MSNBC as proof of his intense interest, according to NBC colleagues, political operatives and friends.Even so, some NBC insiders think it’s all simply a negotiating ploy to jack up his contract... As speculation surrounding his potential candidacy heats up, Matthews has also been asking advisers whether to step down from his MSNBC post well before his contract expires in June. At one recent meeting, he was advised that if he truly intends to run, he should resign from the network as soon as possible... Otherwise, his nightly presence on “Hardball” provides easy fodder to critics fueling the narrative that MSNBC is in the tank for the Democratic party. After NBC News was stung by criticism during the presidential campaign—charged with bias resulting from the antics of more outspoken personalities on MSNBC—staffers worry the situation will be repeated over the next six months... On Monday, Matthews met with two Democratic attorneys and the state’s incoming treasurer to discuss the Senate race at the Philadelphia-based law firm Wolf Block, according to Roll Call. That night, “Hardball” broadcast from Philadelphia, ostensibly for the National Governors Association meeting, a gathering that didn’t actually start until Tuesday. Also on Monday night, following “Hardball,” Matthews headed across the river to Camden, New Jersey, where he gave the keynote speech at a hospital fundraiser. So was Matthews in Philadelphia to meet with operatives or to host a cable news show? When asked about the coincidence, an MSNBC spokesperson issued a terse “no comment.”
