So the minoirty party and the minority leader forced Obama to the left? Liberals are always trying to rewrite history and find fall guys for their failures

Given the previous post, you may this even more amusing






Patrick Gavin at Politico captured revelations from a Thursday interview Chris Matthews granted at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in DC. On his show: "Obviously, I think I'm the best. But each one of the other people think they're the best, too....I think I'm the best, generally....There's no doubt about it, in fact, but other people have different views....'Hardball' is absolutely nonpartisan."

How then, does Matthews explain his Thrill Up My Leg reputation? Is he a journalist? He says yes: "Absolutely. I have to deal with facts every night. I have to cover the news every night." Does he really believe people watching his show buy that he's running a fact-based nonpartisan seminar?

But to Matthews, The Washington Post has now devolved into a "neocon" paper. He reads the Washington Examiner first, then Politico, and "Then I look at the [Washington] Post, which is not what it used to be. Each year it's less than what it used to be before....It's so neocon I can hardly read it....I read the New York Times....You gotta read some other newspapers before you read the Times, you have to work your way up to it.... The [Wall Street] Journal, once in a while, not often."

I thought the Republicans forced the HC bill to the right (even though they didn't vote for it) which is why it sucked so bad.

Color me confused by the libs.

The only one that should take Chris Matthews seriously is his psychiatrist.

Assertions that get attention tend towards divisiveness. So far as news media is concerned--that's all they do, say stuff to make people tune in: for or against. Most pundits don't give two shits about effective government, it would be devastating to their jobs. Even if some legislation had good points, the bad points spin better; they all do it, not just the libs.

Given the rating of MSNBC and "Hardball" - Matthews is a major failure. The only reason MSNBC is still on the air is because it is a great tax loss for NBC
