I was watching him again tonight...more after the fold
The last time I watched chris mathews I wrote:
was watching about as much as I could of Chris Mathews today, and witnessed him trying to stir up trouble with NARL and the Ft. Hood issue.
He seems to almost be taking gleeful enjoyment out of watching what is happening with Democrats and anyone who is even close to being even on the same side with them, while almost seeing to look as though he could turn the Ft. Hood issue into Barack Obama's 911 faliue.
He went after the NARL rep implying she was a radical and single issue advocated without the majority of the public on her side. As noted by a previous diarist, he seemed completely impervious, and yes I mean imprevious, to the idea of what the Stupak admendment acutally meant for a women's choice. And he kept interupting her any time she tried to say anything.
I have been watching him the last few days and it seems like he just can't get enough of going after Democrats. There have been so many things he has commented on, but to be honest, they have just blurred into an image of a ranting, non-stop talking, interupting, middle age white guy with a bui mouth who when he laughs goes ha!!!!!
Does anyone have any idea what the heck if going on with this guy? Was he ever really a liberal? Is he just stupid? What is it?
So tonight he has on Bob Corker who convinces him that the Rebulicans are the party of fiscal responsibility and the ones who can't understand why the Democrats want to implement unfunded mandates, ie: expanded medicaid for the poor and the middle class. Corker says it'll increase costs. Mathews says why. Corker says well because 50% of poor people on medicaid go to the emergency room, and more of them will go as a result of exanding medicaid. WTF?
So what is Corker's solution, lets make sure everyone has access to insurance. WTF? Mathews...crickets. So let me see if I have this straight, we want more people to buy insurance they can't affor with money they don't have? WTF?
Going after Democrats again and repeating Rethuglican talking points! WTF!!!
What can we do about this guy?
