âLet me ask you this, Chris. Who is the funniest old white has-been?â
Can somebody check the expiritation date printed on Chris Matthews? Iâm pretty sure itâs sometime in 1998.
Matthews is such an old school bigot. He means well, he thinks heâs being honest, and constantly says things that are, at best, racially insensitive/sexist. He loves nothing better than the sound of his own voice, and really needs to be let go.
âWho da punniest tat â punniest puddy tat?â
â Chris âTweetyâ Matthews
donât go away mad tweety Mathews âŚjust go awayâŚahhh hell go away mad like we care
I watched most of this, and the whole thing was cringe-worthy. The SNL guys couldnât believe what he was saying. I also got the sense that his producers let him have it during the break, too, because when they came back he was stone faced.
Matthews has always been one to blurt out random sexist/bigoted comments, but it does seem heâs getting worse these days. Itâs past time for him to retire.
This is what happens when a non-funny person (who thinks heâs funny) tries to be funny. The result is usually NOT funny.
Can Andrea Mitchell go with him? Please?
One of many reasons I donât watch âTWETTYâ.
YeahâŚhe gets especially bad when he tries to foray into popular culture.
The other night he was trying to put âthose youngâunsâ in their place and asked one where the phrase âJump the Sharkâ originated. And then blew it by saying âLaverne and ShirleyââŚuntil his producer corrected him in his ear. After that, he just couldnât move beyond that it was on "Happy Daysâ, totally ignoring everything else the others were sayingâŚwhich, you know, was actually about the convention.
âYou know what, Iâm going to say Cosby so nobody gets mad at you,â Che replied. âNow thatâll be the headline.â
So much awesomeness in that answer.
Really. As others have said, I wish I could âlikeâ it more. Remember when news/public affairs round table shows regularly had this level of wit? To have such a memory youâd likely be too old to remember itâŚ(but, for good or for ill, I do). Sad when media types canât exit gracefully. I think this is his last campaign contractuallyâŚ
It is a lot worse in the video than when written. Totally unnecessary to throw race into that questionâŚ
HmmâŚtough question.
Would you say the Milwaukee county sheriff, Alan West, or other?
I am sure Matthews doesnât think he is a racist, but I am equally sure he is.
Now we have to import it from the BBC.
Our domestic TV wits have been infected by nits.
Because heâs Phil Griffinâs idea of a liberal ?
Thatâs pretty much spot on. It was the primary runup to the 2000 elections where I started feeling embarrassed about things Matthews said. He went really easy on Bush. I thought the two had a bromance going on, or something.
He moved.
