WOW! Rachel Maddow: "THEY'RE BLAMING CHRIS MATTHEWS"

[Seabiscuit]

On Tweety's show, no less. Rachel came right out and told Tweety to his face that the New Hampshire voters aren't blaming the media, "they're blaming Chris Matthews" (citing a recent study or memo).

I've never seen Tweety looking so crestfallen.

ROTFLMAO!!!

:rofl:

[aquart]

1. What did he do?

[dbackjon]

2. I love Rachel!!!

[rurallib]

3. He about came apart at the seems when Steph called him a

right wing mouthpiece a couple weeks ago.

[spooky3]

25. Elizabeth Edwards handed him his ass also.

I guess only the women and Jon Stewart tell him to his face!

[MadMaddie]

4. Bwah..haw..haw in December Stephne Miller zinged him and

now Rachael....oh this is so friggen good I can't stand it.

Tweety has to attack HC now...because he doesn't have the flight suit to talk about.

[emilyg]

5. Good for her.

[Cameron27]

6. I can't stop laughing,

that was the best callout EVER!

[AX10]

7. Please get that video online ASAP!

Matthews needs a good smackdown!

[Proud2BAmurkin]

8. "HA"

:rofl:

[ronnykmarshall]

9. Go Rachel!

:loveya:

[KennedyGuy]

10. That was frikken awesome...

[Sparkly]

11. Was she saying that NH voters are blaming him, or the blogs?

I thought she was saying it was the blogs blaming him...?

In any case, right now the good people at Media Matters must be cracking up -- they've been tracking Tweety's nonsense for weeks now.

[Seabiscuit]

13. I'm not sure - I walked in on it just as she said "they're blaming Chris Matthews".

Maybe my wife can clear it up for me. She watched the whole thing.

[Cameron27]

14. She said TPM blamed him

as a symbol of everything wrong that's been said about Clinton. Something like that.

[Sparkly]

16. Ok, that's what I thought. nt

[Seabiscuit]

20. Thanks for clearing that up.

[11cents]

15. She said the blogs - Talking Points Memo

There are some interesting letters posted there about this.

[seaglass]

17. Talking Points Memo - there was a comment on there by a

woman really pissed off about whan an ass Matthews has been.

[Seabiscuit]

34. Do you have a link to the comment? I found Talking Points Memo but it's

a page so crowded with info that I didn't have the energy to wade through it all to find that comment even if it were still there.

[Renew Deal]

19. She said TPM is blaming Mathews.

He's like what's the name of that site? lol

[Tom Rinaldo]

12. Oh God I wish I had seen that!

I hope someone gets a video of that up soon!!!

[Lugnut]

21. I missed it too

I got sick of hearing Tweety's voice and switched to HGTV for a while. Dammit.

[LVZ]

18. I'm an Obama supporter but Matthews is so obviously biased against the Clintons n/t

[BootinUp]

26. Between Matthews and Russert

I can really get pissed off at their anti-Clinton bullshit. Anytime they have to eat some crow over it, is a holiday.

[LVZ]

28. It is fun to see Matthews searching for a "why?" when it might be partially a backlash against him.

[Sparkly]

22. He's reduced to blithering and stuttering and having a hard time putting sentences together.

:rofl:

[Cameron27]

24. He really is ROFL

I'm crying here! He's barely audible.

[annie1]

23. he's all "who? what site is that?"

[depakid]

27. Hey Rachel- almost no one watches that buffoon

Please!

He's self important enough without the reinforcement....

[KittyWampus]

30. that's what I thought. Almost no one watches him.

:D

[bluedawg12]

29. He'll never let Rach on for months, it'll be just him

and Buchanan agreeing with each other.

[Seabiscuit]

35. I think MSNBC is forcing Matthews to share the stage during the election coverage

with Olberman, Buchanan AND Rachel Maddow. And Matthews by now is soiling his diapers and choking on his cud.

Rachel keeps popping all the putrid baloons floated by Matthews and Buchanan.

When she brought up the "Si se puede" (Spanish for Obama's "Yes we can" refrain during Obama's concession/victory speech tonight) Buchanan ignorantly commented that it was a slogan supporting illegal immigrants. She bopped him over the head pointing out accurately that it was used by Cesar Chavez with the migrant farm workers movement decades ago.

[RepublicanElephant]

31. i haven't seen this much fun since rachel called-out tweety during the iowa

vote.

...and when kathy griffin was riding anderson cooper on cnn's new year's show!

[question everything]

32. I moved to CNN when Matthews declared that Edwards should quit

so I missed this exchange, as posted on Crooks and Liars:

Keith Spanks Matthews For His Delay Crush
By: Nicole Belle on Tuesday, January 8th, 2008 at 6:37 PM - PST

Get your head out of the gutter…it was ever so gentle



Keith Olbermann is far too professional to be as confrontational as I would be on the subject of Chris Matthews’ well-documented man-crushes, where he gets enthralled by what he perceives as shrewd maneuvering by politicians without any connection to whether the maneuvering is a positive or negative for the country as a whole. However, he couldn’t resist a little playful poke at the juxtaposition between Chris Matthews excoriation of the Clintons’ political machine and his arms-open-wide intro and fawning interview of Tom Delay, who for whatever reason was asked to give his opinions on the primary tonight.

KO: I can’t let the moment pass…I have to ask you this: the juxtaposition. You said the Clintons are guilty of questioning how the game is played …

CM: Right…

KO: And then, we went directly to an interview with Tom Delay. I can’t let that mo…it’s not a rhetorical question, it’s just an observation of the sequence of events there I found rather extraordinary.

CM: Well, Tom’s out of the game and you might get more attitude out of the guy who’s out of the game. He’s not being careful.

KO: On occasion in his past, he was known though for questioning the roles of the game.

CM: Yeah, well, you mean when they had that redistricting in the middle of the decade, rather than waiting to the end of it? You got a strong memory, sir…

33. Sample comments from TPM

"I almost wonder if more Dems didn't vote for Hillary to counter the BS media narrative about rejecting the Clintons once and for all. I say this as someone who has given 1500 bucks to Obama, gone to several of his events out here in CA, met him, and plan to vote for him. Part of me, however, was so pissed about this media narrative about Hillary and the Clintons in general that I had in the back of my mind that I would consider voting for her just to piss the media off. That's not going to happen now as it appears we have a real race, but still . . . do you see what I am saying? I mean this whole weekend we see people like Andrea Mitchell and Chris Matthews salivating over how the Democrats "rejected the Clintons" and want to puke. I am for Obama not because I am against Clinton (either one), but because I am for Obama. That's it. I think he is the best of the big 3 dem candidates. Would I be happy to vote for Hillary or Edwards in the general? Hell yeah. Did I think Bill Clinton was a great President? Yes. And I think Hillary would probably be pretty good too."
