Keith Olbermann Saves Chris Matthews From Himself

By: Bill W. on Wednesday, March 5th, 2008 at 5:02 PM - PST

In response to Brian Williams’ supposition during MSNBC’s primary night coverage that recent skits on Saturday Night Live including Sen. Clinton’s guest appearance may have been a factor in Tuesday’s primary results, Tweety almost seizes the opportunity to begin waxing misogynistic once again. Luckily for Matthews, Keith Olbermann was there to stop him, and scolded him in the process:



Matthews: Dare we repeat what Tina Fey said was the new black?

Olbermann: There’s another word that begins with the same letter as “black” does. Let’s distance ourselves — especially you. Distance yourself as far as you can from that.

Just as C&L has documented many times over the years, Media Matters notes that:

While Matthews has an extensive history of attacking Clinton, his sexist commentary has hardly been limited to her. Additionally, a Media Matters review of Matthews’ MSNBC commentary found that, in particular, Matthews frequently comments on the physical appearances of his female guests and of other women on his program. … (read on)

1. Tweety is nasty

He's still mad at the Clinton's for not making him press secretary.

[Lasher]

4. That's right.

Once you know that you can understand the asshole a little better.

2. but he liked the way old man Fred smelled

3. Now, now, don;' start rumors

Maybe Tweey just like Old Spice with a mix of peppermint

[speedoo]

5. He was quite infatuated with Rudy as well.

Seems like Tweety has a thing for these brainless phony macho types.

6. BROKAW slapped him down good!1 Hilarious

When the bunch started talking about how the Dem contest was going on to include Pennsyvania, Tweety started yapping about how intimately he knows his native state, that it has distinct regions with separate cultures, plus six expensive media markets that will drain cash for political ads, yap yap---and said that it is a state "where the young people grow up there then move away."

BROKAW said (something like), "Chris, in your extensive knowledge of Pennsyvania, I've talked to people who know you from there and they said you NEVER GREW UP but you DID move away."


There was laughter in the background from crew and guests and probably Keith, but Tweety quickly shut it down and ignored it. Funny how thin skinned he and G.E.RUSSERT are about themselves. They also played a clip from SNL illustrating G.E.RUSSERT's blatant bias, the clip right before RUSSERT came onscreen, and RUSSERT totally ignored it.
