Despite his war wounds, can Bob Kerrey still kick Chris Matthews' butt? We might soon find out, because on this evening's Hardball Matthews lumped Kerrey into a group of Clinton sycophants he derided as "castratos" and a "eunuch chorus."

Chris was kvetching about the way a variety of Hillary Clinton supporters including Kerrey have lined up to take shots at Barack Obama. In endorsing Hillary yesterday, the former Nebraska senator went out of his way to draw attention to Obama's Muslim background.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: You know I'm looking at this thing and I'm watching people like Bob Kerrey show up, who you used to think of as kind of an independent force in American politics. You know, he gave up his Senate seat, he dated Debra Winger. A lot of sizes, a lot of things that suggested a really independent guy.

JONATHAN ALLEN [the Politico]: An officer and a gentleman, right?

MATTHEWS: An officer and a gentleman. Then he moves to New York and becomes president of the New School, a big school, and now he's out there sort of playing whatever for Hillary. Saying things all about Barack Obama having a Muslim father, having Hussein for a middle name. You gotta wonder if this isn't the Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

ALLEN: Well, what I think you've got going on here is a lot of Democrats who are looking at possible jobs in the Clinton administration potentially. You know, if they're on her side and not on Obama's side, he's going to have to forgive a lot of Democrats anyway. If you get on the wrong side of her and she becomes president, you're out. And also Kerrey's living in New York now. We know he wants to get back in the Senate, maybe he'll run for her Senate seat if she wins.

MATTHEWS: The moral weight; I'm talking about the moral weight on these people who are willing to do anything now. You've got [former Iowa governor] Vilsack out there, [current Ohio governor Ted] Strickland, [Indiana senator] Evan Bayh. Every day I pick up the paper, there's another quote from someone's who's a wannabe saying whatever the Clinton people told them to say, apparently.

CHRIS CILLIZZA [WaPo]: Politics, politics Chris!

MATTHEWS: Well, let me find some outrage here. Can I get some from Chrystia; I'm not getting any from you. Chrystia, aren't you appalled at the willingness of these people to become castratos and the eunuch chorus here? What do you call them? I don't know what they are. What do you think of this people?

CHRYSTIA FREELAND [Financial Times]: Well I'm not going to comment on whether they've been castrated or not.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement of their masculinity from Chrystia. But better than the gauntlet that Matthews threw down. So how about it, Bob?

Profiles in Hypocrisy..

Chris Matthews making fun of other people for carrying the Clintons' water is really pretty funny when you think about it.

Watch this space. If Paul Begala turns on Hillary, you know she's done.

Mark

As I posted earlier...I've been watching Morning Joe, which is rather amusing (Mika the twit).

But an added benefit is that the TV is still tuned to MSNBC when I get home from work...and as I'm a tad lazy....I didn't change the channel and saw this bit.

It's actually rather refreshing, after a steady diet of Fox....and Chrissy & guests, while they blather on, actually say some pretty crazy and interesting stuff occasionally.

Bob Kerrey running for Hillary's Senate seat?  Puhleease.  Castration remarks?  Eunuchs?  Come on...this is supposed to be the news, not SNL.

But you must admit...it is pretty funny!  Civil political discourse.....riiiiiiggght.

David Gregory, do you know which damn network you lie for? ~ Uncle Jimbo, @Blackfive

 

Well you know, Blonde,

Well you know, Blonde, Matthews might have accidentally swerved into the truth. Either that or he's heard the whimpers; they know HRC has that "testicle lockbox." LOL

And OMG are you right about Mika. If she didn't have the last name she has, she would be waiting tables in the MSNBC commissary. Were you watching the day she tried to give credit for the huge reduction in NYC crime under Giuliani to previous mayor David Dinkins???? She said "Some might say" (ROFL) that it was"the previous mayor's" policies that started to have an effect while Giuliani was mayor.

Holy Cow.

 

Explain

I saw this program. I would like to see Kerrey explain his obvious slam at Obama. Am tired of religion being used as a weapon in this election.

Cannot figure out why Chris has been dumping on Hillary lately. I must say that I like it!

Matthews has Rockefeller Balls

Chris Matthews like Tim Russert only got balls when the Rockefellers with their CFR cover gave them king kong size testicles to cover their liberal scrotums.

They have got this coup going on in spades and Matthews calling a one legged Vietnam war hero a castrated male........well in any other time Matthews would be fired for it, but now it is the sissy boys slapping it out and Matthews brought a sack of testosterone to belt Nebraska Bob with.

People need to consider what I blogged about yesterday. CONSIDER THE FACTS in knowing the Clintons:
WHEN IN ALL THEIR HISTORY DID THEY EVER NOT DESTROY ANYONE WHO DARED LAY A FINGER ON THEM?

You can find Congressman, that little CBS blonde who Bill nailed who disappeared forever, Vince Foster etc.... all who felt the full Clinton sucker punch to even death for ever coming at them. Their Carvell order was lie, deny and villify........

and yet, not one peep from Hillary, she fires her dirty dope guy and Bill is running around calling Hillary a looser.

None of that makes one bit of sense until you ask, JUST WHAT DO THE ROCKEFELLERS who employ Matthews have on Hillary?
The answer can only be the story they planted that Hillary is sexing her lezbo tramp assistant.

There is video of Hillary going OOOHHH and AHHHH and that is why Hillary is taking a fall in this coup. The cartel has her on criminal charges they are surpressing and they have video which will destroy her.
Matthews has been given free reign by the bosses to let loose with all he has. Nebraska Bob deserves better treatment than being called a capon, but Matthews knows he is working for the elite now and is bitch slapping a Clinton operative in a big girly fight.

This is the only thing that adds up in deductive reasoning as Hillary always cuts people's nuts off and it is not the other way around in any of her past.

I would dearly appreciate though if Doc Limbaugh who with Drudge pounded a haymaker into Hillary by design in her hag picture being on Drudge for a continuous 12 hour cycle for Limbaugh to at least hint what he knows through the grapevine as both Drudge and him always know what the real story is and never come out with it.

There are pictures out there and Hillary gave up her campaign for it.......and they are so bad she is willing to look like an inept fool to go down in defeat to conceal it all.

Matthews though had better enjoy having sold his soul as the elites will make him cry when they are done with him.........and Hillary is being discarded on the heap of history, but as a CIA operative with more connections and blackmail files than Putin on Americans.......I would not sleep too sound if I was Matthews, because she is not going to take up knitting but instead bide her time for a meal of revenge served cold.

Chrystia, aren't you

Chrystia, aren't you appalled at the willingness of these people to become castratos and the eunuch chorus here? What do you call them? I don't know what they are. What do you think of this people?

What do you call them?  Well, since they all work for Hillary, how about "The Phony's Soldiers"?

And if Hill becomes the nominee...

I'm guessing that Matthews will become her supporter and the snideness will subside.

During the Monica flap, Tweety (as they call Matthews at kos) was a Bill basher, then he became a Bush basher, then he was a Hill supporter, now he's a Hill basher.

Frankly, the pundits at MSNBC are unwatchable. Irritating voices and personae--Matthews and Olberman are rabid and come across as half-nuts. Little Lord Fauntleroy Tucker is hyper and shallow and not too bright. They really are annoying and I'm not surprised that MSNBC's ratings are in the toilet. They need a major overhaul at that network. I'm surpirsed the GE stockholders aren't in revolt.

The Hill and Bill show really is...

...like watching the Sopranos.  How do they keep getting away with it, and why do so many people love them for it?

If a Republican had done 1/10th of the law breaking and double talk as Hill and Bill they'd be sitting in prison and the object of total scorn.

Funny how the unbiased press is only getting angry at Hill and Bill now that they have unleashed the hounds on their new favorite son - Obama.  They were more than willing to look the other way and make excuse after excuse when it was the hated Republicans getting the HillBilly treatment. 

Someone should set up a sting.  Lure their "detectives" (read: secret police) to a house where someone has the goods on them, and catch the detectives doing their Watergate best.  Then force the goons to roll over on their masters.

It won't be easy because Hill and Bill tend too only hire people they can control by some means or the other.  But without the wall of silence and excuse making gifted them by the press for so many years - maybe it will at long last be possible to make something stick.

To Catch Two Predators

Could you imagine it?  Chris Hansen sitting in the kitchen.  Bill and Hillary walk into the house looking nervous, but excited.  "Bill, Hillary, have a seat."

What the --?

I find it hard to believe so many folks are writing Hillary off. That's EXACTLY what she wants.

MSNBC and all of her liberal friends are setting Hillary up to be the "Fighter", the "Comeback Kid", the one who had to fight off the entire media, both liberal and conservative.

Matthews et al are taking shots at her now with her approval. When the general election rolls around and she is the Dem rep, nobody can accuse Matthews and the others of carrying water for Team Hillary. Matthews is suddenly (and falsely) "fair and balanced"!

And while everyone is focused on the Hillary circus, look who has slipped into the Republican tent -- Huckabee, a liberal in elephant's clothing!

The Clintons don't play chess. They play that three dimensional, multi-layered chess game. And the second they think they might lose...

Poof.

Speaking of MSM's bias toward the Clintons...

Ever notice that whenever Bill is referred to as the first Black president, no one in the media ever brings up the subject of Ricky Ray Rector? I don't remember a single reporter asking him about it.

For those who don't remember: Rector was a mentally disabled AfricanAmerican and Bill left his New Hampshire primary and flew down to Arkansas to oversee his execution. Did not get a governor's commutation to a life sentence. Nope, had to be sacrificed to show just how tough Billy Boy was. A little triangulation, ya know.

I would love to see some journalist ask Shrillary about that incident, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

The Clintons have been let off the hook time and again by the MSM.

Gee, where were Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson at the time???

Wonder why..

Matthews seems fascinated with male sex organs, doesn't he?
