Chris Matthews Needs to Calm Down
If you add the things Chris Matthews has said in the past, then combine them with things like this:
and this:
and even this:
It's becoming more an more apparent that Matthews is the TV political pundit version of Anchorman's Champ Kind:
Only difference is, Champ's fixation was mainly directed at Ron. That and Champ's a character in a movie. Matthews is a real person and his fixations seem to be more unpredictable and random, even though recent history gives the impression that he has a proclivity to covet Republicans. A case of "poliphilia," perhaps?
Seriously, though: what does a person's musk or their build or their tie have to do with their politics? Shouldn't people like Matthews be more concerned with a person's political views?
He looks like a million bucks. Everything is perfect. Everything about him is perfect -- his look, his manner, everything, the shirt, never rolled-up sleeves, the tie always tied. That perfection -- is that the Republican Party of the 21st century? Is that what we're looking for, the perfect efficiency expert?
and this:
Yeah, I think you're right. I guess I'm thinking of an Eddie Rendell were in the race -- the governor of Pennsylvania -- or if Al Gore were in the race or someone else who's a good heavyweight to be running. But, you know, I do see a lot of really good second-tier candidates here, but I don't see a big, beefy alternative to Hillary Clinton -- a big guy. You know what I mean? An all -- an every-way big guy. I don't see one out there. I see a lot of slight, skinny, second- and third-rate candidates.
and even this:
MATTHEWS: Could you get a little closer to the camera?
BURNETT: My -- what is it? Is it zooming in strangely?
MATTHEWS: Come on in closer. No, come in -- come in further -- come in closer. Really close.
BURNETT: What are you -- what are you doing?
MATTHEWS: Just kidding! You look great! Anyway, thanks. Erin, it's great to -- look at that look. You're great.
BURNETT: I don't even know. I'm going to have to go look at the tape here. I'm in a strange location.
MATTHEWS: No, you're beautiful. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. You're a knockout. Anyway, thank you, Erin Burnett.
BURNETT: All right, Chris. See you later.
MATTHEWS: It's all right getting bad news from you, even, OK? Thanks for
coming on Hardball.
