Chris 'I Lost on Jeopardy!' Matthews Mocks Miss USA Contestants for Not Knowing VP's Name
As NewsBusters previously reported, MSNBC's Chris Matthews bombed on the game show Jeopardy! three weeks ago missing questions many fifth graders would have had no problem with.
Clearly forgetting his shameful performance, the Hardball host on Monday mocked Miss USA Pageant contestants for not knowing the name of the current Vice President (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: Next, in the lead-up to the Miss USA Pageant, which aired last night on ABC, some of the contestant participated in a little USA trivia contest. They didn`t fare too well when the subject was politics, specifically the question of, who is the current vice president of the United States?
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Oh, God.
(LAUGHTER)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Oh, God. Oh, shoot.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: This is so bad. I just read an article.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Joe Biden.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Biden.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Biden.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I don`t know anything about politics, so I don`t know.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Joe Biden.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Joe Biden.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: This is bad.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I don`t know.
(CROSSTALK)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I`m blanking.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Joe Biden.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: World peace.
(LAUGHTER)
(END VIDEO CLIP)
MATTHEWS: World peace? Anyway, one of the contestants was confronted -- I think that was a catch-all question -- anyway, about the mixed results during the competition last night, thanks to Arsenio Hall. Let`s watch.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
ARSENIO HALL, ACTOR: How do you explain so many of them not knowing this answer?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Well, I have to say I went through that process. We were all -- about 4:00 in the morning. And we were very tired, and I think a lot of the girls answered the question. They weren`t very positive, but they really do know who the vice president is. It was just a really long day. It was like midnight.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Who is it, they want to know.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Biden.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. She got it.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Biden.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: They were up late.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
MATTHEWS: Well, that earned her a lot of applause. Anyway, it reminds me of "Jay-walking." I guess ignorance is bliss.
Speaking of ignorance, our friends at Washington Free Beacon have created a marvelous video exposing Matthews' hypocrisy:
Now THAT'S entertainment!

they were ashamed to admit that Plugs Bite-Me was the VP? Maybe they thought that, much like a bad dream, if they ignored the idea of Bite-Me, it would go away?

A true leader should not be afraid to appoint staffers who are smarter than him.
Can it be that Joe Biden is proof President Obama is a true leader?
Now, that's embarrassing.

Miss USA doesn't know the name of the VPOTUS and she has never heard of Hardball. Maybe she's a lot smarter than Chris Matthews thinks.

After all, he works for the President who, as a candidate in 2008, said that he'd visited 57 states.
Either one of those statements would've earmarked a Miss USA pageant contestant as a bonafide idiot. When a Democrat utters it, no one in the MSM blinks an eye.

Submitted by ParalegalGoddess on Tue, 06/05/2012 - 8:31am.
Can we talk about how spitty deliberately lied about the voter registration bill in Florida? he was grilling a representative from florida (forgive me I don't remember the name) about how it was impossible to collect voter registrations at 5 pm on a friday and have them turned in by the 48 hour time period. Kept saying if you collect these registrations on weekends and at 5 pm on a Friday it was impossible to turn them in in the 48 hour time period - said could never be done. Explain how that's supposed to work. Crying over voter suppression.. wah wah wah...
IF he would have read the bill - which he probably did but still ignored it - the provision stated that all registrations collected shall be turned in on the FIRST BUSINESS DAY if the appropriate office is closed.
Why oh why didn't the representative flip the script and call him out on his blatant lie?

http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/05/americans-have-no-id...
“Surveys show a shockingly high fraction think a quarter of the country is gay or lesbian, when the reality is that it's probably less than 2 percent”
This data should precipitate media questions/discussions about the lack of wisdom in Obama’s ‘coming out’ in favor of gay marriage which effects 2% of the voting public when the rest of us are concerned about the economy.

He's an insult to the viewing public.
He's impossible to listen to, let alone look at. He slobbers out his rambling, disconnected sentences, running on and on maniacally until he gets a chance to hint at what he's really driving at -- like calling his critics "jackasses."
This incoherent, spittle-spraying, slobbering half-wit has a lot of nerve to criticize anyone's intelligence.
