Something is wrong with Matthews. Today he acts all bent out of shape when one of his guests implies he was less than fair when Gore was running the first time, as he is spewing angrily back at his guests who disagree with his desire that Gore should take it to the Clintons and screw them.
It's not just his irrational hatred of the Clintons.
There's more.
While he is playing the "I'm against the war, always have been and that's why I hate the Clintons" game, he seems to clearly have some truth problems. As I sit here writing, he is now telling Howard Kurtz how he has no problems with pressure because he doesn't care. What a freaking phony liar!! This man has kissed up to the likes of Tom Delay. Sheesh, I (and couple thousand others), witnessed Matthews comment to Delay (when they both thought they were off the air): "Hey, thanks Buddy, I owe you one." What the hell does that mean? And then of course they both proceeded on a sexist conversation about how men will never like Hillary because she is so shrill and men don't like shrill.
I have watched Matthews suck up to Fred Thompson and Rudy Guiliani and then he has the cajones to brag about he is no beholding to anyone.
WHAT A CroCK of CrAP!
He despises Hillary because of her policies over Iraq?
Give me a freaking breaking. He ADORES John McCain. Who has been more pro war than McCain? The most I have heard him say about McCain is "I disagree with him about the war but he's a great guy?" HUH?
And Guiliani. He adores the gritty, easterner. He says iconstantly that "Guiliani is America's mayor, the real hero of 9/11". And yet Guiliani is clearly so pro war! What the hell?!
Next, the Anne Coulter vs Donnie Deutsch deal. Excuse me?
Matthews goes all serious on how Coutler insulted the Jews.
NOW, he finds Coutlergeist a problem. He snickered all through her garbage for years as he had her as a guest many times over! If he is half the "hardballer" he thinks he is, then why would he have her as a guest more than once? Seriously, her insults of others have always been her schtick. NOW it matters? I say MATTHEWS is a PHONY and a LIAR!
This is not about whether you are anti Hillary or pro Hillary, or pro or anti Obama or pro or anti ANY DEM candidate! This is about the personal vendettas of some of the punditry getting played out in public. To me, Matthews, if not the worse, is the most obvious (not including FOX of course since they are a joke). I also find him the most offensive because he is consistently a hypocrite and liar.
Someone needs to call Matthews (and others) on their personal digs. I could see in the faces of a few of his guests today, there was some biting of their tongues as Matthews pretended that the reason he was all about trashing Gore in 1999 was because Gore was a bad candidate with no issues, ignoring how much people like himself and some of his colleagues, lied, spun and literally mocked Al Gore (going after his looks, his dress and his "sighing" and and spinning the lies about the Internet) much the same as the way Matthews is lying about, spinning about and mocking Hillary Clinton.
Sadly, despite his desire to see Obama trash Hillary, I would bet a year's salary if Obama gets the nod, Matthews will be trashing, mocking and mocking him as he aids and abets one of his right wing buddies to win the presidency.
