Chris Matthews: Fox Should Hire Weiner to Play 'Typical Liberal' Talking About 'Latest Scandal'
Chris Matthews on Thursday said Fox News ought to hire disgraced Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) to play the "typical liberal with all the lifestyle qualities of a typical liberal" to talk about "the latest scandal every night."
Politico's Ben Smith responded to the "Hardball" host, "I asked them about it today. They didn’t buy it. They referred me to CNN" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: Well maybe Roger Ailes over at Fox will have him play the liberal. That would be (laughs), wouldn’t that be?
BEN SMITH, POLITICO: I asked them about it today. They didn’t buy it.
MATTHEWS: What did he say?
SMITH: They didn’t buy it. They referred me to CNN.
MATTHEWS: It would be perfect to say, “Here’s your typical liberal with all the lifestyle qualities of a typical liberal. Let’s talk to him about the latest scandal every night.”
Smith is right. Ailes isn't likely to hire such a degenerate. If Weiner winds up on television, it will be CNN or MSNBC.
I wouldn't be surprised if they're already talking about it.

The day someone like Anthony Weiner, or is Anthony Weiner, is employed by Fox is the day I stop being a regular viewer.

How about Chris Matthews and Eliot Spitzer? It could be called "Spitzer and Spitter".
That's funny.

This is funny considering this POS called Republican women "Broads" just the other night.
Factually fatboy, Fox has NOT been running this story 24X7 and in FACT CNN and your network have had far MORE coverage of it.
Fatboy, realize Fox reported the story, you and CNN etc, etc, etc tried to explain it away or apologize or blame Republicans instead.
Look at the two losers on the screen here, both wearing spitguards and Obambi underwear.
Pulitzer prize winner, I could write better prose than that POS hack leftist.

“Fox Should Hire Weiner to Play 'Typical Liberal' Talking About 'Latest Scandal'”!?!
When it is already much easier to find random Liberals eager to do this for free than shooting fish in a barrel?
How idiotic can one be, Chris? Sorry, Chris, you’re one of them.

It has been more than fun to watch Weiner disintegrate...
Submitted by acaiguana on Fri, 06/17/2011 - 7:49am.
In 2008, I said, this is going to be fun to watch.
Sadly, I forgot the insane greed of the Democrats for Power which has rendered this country insolvent.

He's never had a real job. That qualifies him to work at MSNBC and CNN. ABC and CBS. ABC has too many morons to mess with Weiner.
Typical liberal talking about the latest scandal?
Submitted by thescoots on Fri, 06/17/2011 - 10:24am.
Yeah, maybe you're right, Chris....Maybe Fox should take your advice and hire Weiner as the "typical liberal" since MSNBC has a full stable of them already....including you.
