Ari Fleischer is tearing apart Chris Matthews

[Bonn1997]

and Chris keeps backing down.

[polichick]

1. It ends well - keep watching.

[ncteechur]

2. I think Matthews showed fleisher as the idiot he is and was.

[bridgit]

3. I did see that part, it blew Matthews off his chair...

[blogslut]

4. No, he's being a belligerent asshole

And it shows.

[notesdev]

6. They're both a-holes

Fleischer belongs in jail, and Matthews belongs on the unemployment line.

[blogslut]

7. Okay

But remember, there are two kinds of assholes in this world: The self-admitted kind and the self-righteous kind. Matthews is the former. Fleischer is the latter.

[Bonn1997]

8. Oh I agree but

when Ari attacks Chris and Chris doesn't say a word, Chris looks pathetic, and he makes those who are anti-Bush (or anti-Ari) look weak.

[blogslut]

10. I disagree

Today, Mr. Matthews let the world see that mean-spirited lying bastard in his full glory. Ari Fleischer buried himself with that appearance.

[Starlight]

13. ITA. It was much more powerful to just let Ari go with his inane tirade.

[Bonn1997]

15. All I can say is KO wouldn't have let Ari get away with one-tenth of what Matthews allowed

[blogslut]

16. And Ari wouldn't be caught dead on Countdown

I think you're going to find this was not Fleischer's best day.

[Bonn1997]

18. Yeah but you missed the point. When you think about what Keith would have done...

it's easy to see how far below my expectations Matthews fell

[madrchsod]

5. really?

[rurallib]

fliesher is a rude little prick who is toxic thanks to W

but let these assholes run around and remind us of the stench and incompetence of Bushco.

[radiclib]

9. When did that happen?

Certainly not on today's Hardball. I just watched Tweety gut and fillet the lying shitbag.
I don't know what you were watching.

11. Chris mathews had the FACTS on his side. He should have

been more forceful with Fleischer. Fleircher was LYING thru his ears. I was STUNNED to see Chris subdued and not challenge his lies.

I am not a big fan of mathews but this time, chris had the truth and facts and did not defend it. I felt like throwing up seeing ari lie to his teeth... and getting away with it.

[Bonn1997]

14. Exactly how I felt

[Bushknew]

12. Too little too late Chris, way to stand up to the Bush Adminstration after

they are GONE.

[Raine]

17. Huh?? Matthews ripped him a new one

is what I saw. :shrug:

[Bonn1997]

19. Then you only watched about 50% of the interview...

half the time Matthews sat back, took tough insults, and did nothing except have a surprised, defeated look on his face. The other half the time Matthews was tough. I'll give him that. But Ari was tough 100% of the time and I want whoever is fighting against the Bush group to fight tough no less than 100% of the time too.

[Raine]

21. No I saw the whole thing

he was abit slow in getting started probably because of being in shock at the ridiculousness of it but once he got over that he took him down. :-)

[GoCubsGo]

20. That's what I saw, too...

For the most part, any way. I think the impression people got that he let fLIEscher get away with his lies is that he was probably too stunned to say anything at times. He sure had reason to be.

Keith and Jon Alter just ripped The Prick another new one.
