Jeebus Harold Christmas man...the guy is a neo-con fawning hack:
MATTHEWS: Let me go to the question—and somebody criticized me for saying it. And maybe you will right now, Bob, but there are occasions where this president has shown the glitter of nobility.
He‘s done just the right thing at just the right time and right opportunity. He picked a superb nominee for Supreme Court chief justice. I mean, you didn‘t hear from the accolades from the Democratic left because a lot of them are running for president and they have to be pro-choice and all that, but what a splendid appointment.
And then he picks this guy for Federal Reserve chairman the other day, The Economist magazine of London had picked him as their favorite to get the job. He was the best man for the job, the best person. This president is capable of grand, grand gestures and grand moments. I guess I‘m asking, can he get on a winning streak again and how does he do it?
Q: What he needs to do is put together some new staff, admit whatever mistakes have to be admitted and start moving forward. He‘s got three years left in his administration and it‘s important for him and for the country that he be functional.
MATTHEWS: You know, Tony, there is in the past, it‘s not always there, but sometimes it glimmers with this man, our president, that kind of sunny nobility. How does he bring it back because it hasn‘t been apparent for a while now.
Hell, go back to the damn aircraft carrier in 2003:
MATTHEWS: What do you make of the actual visual that people will see on TV and probably, as you know, as well as I, will remember a lot longer than words spoken tonight? And that's the president looking very much like a jet, you know, a high-flying jet star. A guy who is a jet pilot. Has been in the past when he was younger, obviously. What does that image mean to the American people, a guy who can actually get into a supersonic plane and actually fly in an unpressurized cabin like an actual jet pilot?
MATTHEWS: Do you think this role, and I want to talk politically <...>, the president deserves everything he's doing tonight in terms of his leadership. He won the war. He was an effective commander. Everybody recognizes that, I believe, except a few critics. Do you think he is defining the office of the presidency, at least for this time, as basically that of commander in chief? That <...> if you're going to run against him, you'd better be ready to take away from him.
MATTHEWS: Let me ask you, Bob Dornan, you were a congressman all those years. Here's a president who's really nonverbal. He's like Eisenhower. He looks great in a military uniform. He looks great in that cowboy costume he wears when he goes West. I remember him standing at that fence with Colin Powell. Was the best picture in the 2000 campaign?
What, why does he...ah fuck it.
