Bear this one in mind next time you hear a liberal bemoaning that conservatives show insufficient respect for Pres. Obama and VP Biden . . .
On this evening's Hardball, Chris Matthews called Dick Cheney "the bath-tub ring of the Bush administration."
Chris' calumny came in reaction to the news that the estimable Human Events magazine has named the former VP Conservative of the Year.
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Those soldiers of the right over at Human Events magazine came out today with their Conservative of the Year Award. They gave it to the bath-tub ring of the Bush administration himself, that residue of eight years that won't leave us, Dick Cheney.To understand what might motivate Matthews to stoop so low, let's quote from John Bolton's essay at Human Events announcing the award:
How is it, therefore, that someone who has no political ambitions can cause so much angst at the White House and in the mainstream news media? The irrefutable answer is that what Cheney is saying, primarily on foreign policy, defense and anti-terrorism, makes sense to more and more American citizens growing increasingly worried by the Obama Administration’s insouciance when U.S. national interests are threatened, both at home and abroad.Too true.

Mon, 12/21/2009 - 22:19 ET by R D Helm...(and sometimes that support is not so tacit), it stands to reason that this supporter of all things surrender-related would slam a man who has spent most of his life serving this country, and who, unlike this worthless gas-bag of an elitist hack with a TV show, actually believes it worth defending.

Chrissy's sinking ship

Mon, 12/21/2009 - 22:37 ET by cajun2Another example of why you are #1 on my "useful idiot" list. Getting nervous Chrissie? Can you feel the "angry mob" closing in?
This might not be Chris' fault.
Mon, 12/21/2009 - 22:40 ET by chuckkChris says he hasn't touched alcohol since 1994.. and in 2002 he contracted a case of malaria, so let's not be too harsh.
Although there are no cases of long-term symptoms including leg tinglings, it is true that people who have suffered from cerebral malaria have about a 10 percent chance of developing long-term neurological problems, such as speech and language difficulties or a decrease in cognitive function.
Chris Matthews is nothing
Mon, 12/21/2009 - 23:14 ET by VodzguyChris Matthews is nothing more than a festering little zit on the a$$ of this great nation.
I'm sorry that the people who run the Miss America pageant select misogynistic bigots as judges. I'm also sorry that one can get away with being a misogynistic bigot in this country by simply sodomizing other men. --Mike Adams
Hmm.
Mon, 12/21/2009 - 23:25 ET by dervishSuppose Mr. Cheney even knows who Chris Matthews is?
I seem to be all out of contempt for the twerp, but I'll try to gin up some more.
Matthews Is Pitiful
Mon, 12/21/2009 - 23:47 ET by DaMamaWhat a dipstick. This guy is an embarrassment to journalism. Why does anyone even watch him? MSNBC is such a joke. With people like Olbermann, Matthews and Maddow, Edward R. Murrow and John Cameron Swayze must be spinning in their graves.

It appears….
Tue, 12/22/2009 - 01:25 ET by JPR1Chrissie was shut out this year in MRC’s worst reporting competition. I think he’s feeling neglected and insignificant.
I’d like to nominate him for a new award: Chronic Media Hemorrhoid. Let’s honor him for 2009 and 2010 straight away. If Ed Schultz can hold his own maybe he’ll qualify in ‘11.
While we're at it let's give Keith Olberman the Persistant Piles Award.
The asinine behavior of liberals such as Chris Matthews reminds
Tue, 12/22/2009 - 01:41 ET by Rush Fanme of the story of the scorpion (aka liberals) and the frog. The famous tale tells of a scorpion that needs to get across the river and he asks the frog to ferry him across.
"No way, scorpion, you'll sting me," says the frog in response.
"If I did that, we'd both drown," says the scorpion. The frog relents and gives the scorpion a ride across the river. Just as the frog is crawling onto the bank, the scorpion stings the frog.
"Why did you do that? You said you would not sting me!" the dying frog asks. "I'm a liberal (aka scorpion), that's what I do."

Tue, 12/22/2009 - 02:30 ET by rightwingidiotI would rather have a thousand Dick Cheneys than one Crissy boy.
That's not to say Mr. Cheney is perfect, he's far from it. However, when it comes to someone that I would trust to do the right thing and protect this country beyond all else, including his own popularity, Mr. Cheney gets my nod.
I have a lot of respect for the man (DC). He says what means and means what he says. He's a little dark but I'd rather have a guy like him watching my back than an Obeyme loving girl like Matthews.
Speaking of rings, I think I notice a little brown ring around Crissy's lips. Might be the result of having them planted firmy on the butt of Obeyme.

Tue, 12/22/2009 - 09:49 ET by rightwingidiotWhat a woman! No nonsense, take no prisoners, polite, well rounded and tough as nails.
All of that, of course, is why she is soooooooo hated by the left. In a battle of words or wit, she has little trouble dispensing with libtards.
I like her. I think she can have whatever political career she desires.
....Percentile Dysfunction...
Tue, 12/22/2009 - 09:45 ET by Big MommaBoth Chrissie and Maddow are suffering from percentile dysfunction when it comes to ratings. Almost seems like they are resorting to spouting outrageous (moreso than usual) opinions in the hopes they will at least be covered in the blogs since they are losing audiences on screen.
Of all the issues that are out of my control these days, I am finding a great deal of personal satisfaction "voting" with my remote control.
