Sorry we much

**Written by Doug Powers On Hardball, Chris Matthews was speaking with former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, so you just know something ridiculous was said. Transcript from Story Balloon: CHRIS MATTHEWS: How come in the `30s, when we suffered a far worse economic decline, the rich were embarrassed? They were embarrassed by what they had done. [...]

**Written by Doug Powers Bill Clinton’s former Labor Secretary was on Hardball railing against GOP attempts to rein in runwaway government spending.

With certain updated exceptions, of course

Mix-up

It’s all about the O

**Written by Doug Powers And no, it’s not the one that probably popped into your head first. The thrill up Chris Matthews’ leg has developed a wandering eye: With a script and a dramatic voice over befitting a trailer for the latest superhero movie out of Hollywood, one of the first promos for Chris Matthews’ [...]

Lead by example? Nevah!

Like old times

**Written by Doug Powers As the great news of the last of the trapped miners in Chile being lifted to the surface spread around the world, Chris Matthews had as a guest the president of the AFL/CIO Richard Trumka. Naturally, the pair had to use the occasion of the year’s greatest tribute to ingenuity, endurance [...]

“You’re wasting valuable oxygen.”

On MLK Day last month, the Denver Public Schools served Southern-style fried chicken, biscuits, and collard greens for lunch. Despite the fact that MLK was actually from the South and actually liked those foods, the racial grievance crowd raised hell and complained that the menu was RAAAAACIST — prompting an apology from the school system. [...]

‘Fess up, my liberal friends and readers. Are you not now completely mortified by the continued Archie Bunker ruminations on race by MSNBC’s Chris Matthews? Still stuck in the ’60s babbling about the Kennedy administration, his patronizing attitude toward President Obama makes Harry “Negro dialect” Reid and Robert “Kleagle” Byrd look like hip, young 21st [...]

There he goes again. Racial bean-counter Chris Matthews, of the indelibly white MSNBC, is attacking conservatives for stoking “white tribalism:” On the Sunday, December 13, syndicated Chris Matthews Show, as he ended the show with words of praise for Morgan Freeman’s latest film, Invictus, and its depiction of Nelson Mandela uniting blacks and whites in [...]

I like that. Gonna have to borrow that sometime. Plus: If Chris Matthews were a James Bond villain, what James Bond villain would he be?

“MSNBC is behaving like a heroin addict.”

Neanderthal.

“Electric surge.”

Tingle.

I switched to MSNBC when Fox cut away from Fred’s pep talk in Columbia, SC. They all cackled after Thompson finished speaking. I should have switched it off right there, but I decided to stay with the left-wing channel for Mitt Romney’s appearance. The dorks at MSNBC grilled him over his hair, his unbuttoned collar, [...]

“Methinks Paleface speak with forked tongue.”

On Tuesday, the GOP’s presidential candidates have a choice: Suck up and roll over for the liberal media establishment. Or grow some balls and fight back for once. Not. Holding. Breath. The candidates will be appearing on nutroots cable TV’s MSNBC for a debate in Dearborn, Michigan. (Update clarification: It’s running on CNBC first, then [...]

Varsity vs. Pee Wee

A pro-life documentary you won’t see on PBS or at the movie theater. Find out more here. *** While we’re on life issues, Bobby Schindler has a question for the GOP presidential candidates and un-moderate debate moderator Chris Matthews: “Since When Does Pro-Life Mean Killing The Disabled?”

Man, is it crowded. HA thread here. PJM reaction coming

I’ve said before I think the homes of public figures should be off-limits to political protesters. It’s incivil and unncessary. Save it for the public square. Despite my deep disregard for Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s views, I feel the same way about the anti-war zealots who tramped up to Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s home in San Francisco: [...]

Here’s a correction appearing now at the top of the website version of an A1 story in the Washington Post that ran this morning (hat tip – Allah): Here’s the original headline: And the opening paragraphs: Intelligence provided by former undersecretary of defense Douglas J. Feith to buttress the White House case for invading Iraq [...]

Jim Hoft thinks there might be disruptions from the balcony. Brit Hume says Nancy Pelosi put on a new outfit for her historic moment at the last minute because she spilled chocolate on her suit. Madame Speaker Hang in there, Dick Everything’s already anticlimactic from here. The full SOTU text is up–and so is Democrat [...]

The digs at FOB Justice My HotAir.com colleague Bryan Preston and I are back from Iraq. Thanks to Allah and Ian for holding down the fort at HA and thanks much to guest-bloggers Mary Katharine Ham, See-Dubya, and the Big Lizards for filling in here during my absence. Be sure to bookmark their blogs. Our [...]

Chris Matthews and Pat Buchanan got on my nerves this weekend. Matthews sputters that if the “neoconservatives” had “been in a schoolyard fight in high school like they should have been, we wouldn’t be seeing the world we’re getting from them today.” Buchanan blusters: “They’re calling for wars against people that never attacked us. I [...]
