1. I think it is disgusting
If Tweety had tried doing that to me, I might have commented, "Were you weaned too early or something?"

4. I wouldn't say upset....more continually disgusted w/men who think
they have license to mock us as long as it is cloaked in a left-handed complement. This is chauvinistic behavior in the classic sense. :puke:

That was not a complement to Ms. Burnett, just harassment. He could have simply said, "Erin you look beautiful today." if he wanted to complement her, instead of making her act like a circus clown for his amusement.

6. How about 'women' respond. 'Females' includes my cat.
I'm not really that offended by it.

He's a doofus who's on the air for too long every day.

8. Well, let's include the cat, shall we?
Show it to her, and see if she gets hairballs.

15. Hey, at least he's not gushing over bush's "package" in that fucking flight suit.
I am VERY ready to see someone else replace him. AND SOON. But then again, I've never had that much respect for "weathervane" matthews. But just give him a couple of days - he'll be verbally fellating rudy giuliani or bush or rove or thompson or somebody else of the male persuasion soon enough.

22. Barf is correct!
I have no idea what people see in him. Especially female people like his ex-wives and his current strumpet - er - wife. YUCK.

26. Couldn't have said it better...
Chris Mathews mentally masturbates, whether it be man or woman. He's just an ass being an ass.

And that is why neither my husband nor I watch his asswipe show.

11. This is the first time I've seen the video after hearing comments about it.
I think Matthews' comments were in reference to his colleague's posture. She was hunched over & her face was more prominent than the rest of her body; Matthews comment about "leaning in closer" was sarcasm about the fact that her face was already too close.

As for the comments implying that Matthews was being sexist, the woman wasn't even wearing a low-cut blouse.

12. He's just a dirty little old man who has never had a thought in his
head that wasn't about himself.

13. Everything Tweety says and does lately upsets me
primarily the fact that he is so entranced with superficial and surface appearances and attributes of presidential candidates. To him it's all about images and impressions and who can "sell" themselves the best based on image. Who might actually be best at doing the job is of no import. All that matters to him is the kind of aura a candidate can project to voters.

16. Typical
The result of his comment is to distract from whatever she was saying....in a most offensive, belittling way. He wouldn't do that to a man...well it's Tweety, he might.

My vote is for PIG

19. He's not getting much at home, I guess...
I saw Chris recently interview the YouTube Obama girl, The Hillary girl and the Giuliani girl all together in one studio with him. Looked like he was going to faint with these three pretty young females in the room!

If anyone else saw that interview, this most recent fawning incident should come as no surprise. He was just falling all over himself trying to get one of the young lovlies to pay attention to him. pathetic.

So much for objective journalism.

Doesn't get more obvious than that.

23. Tweety is a jerk. There was a time when I thought he had a small
amount of talent for "getting the meat off the bone", but he's little more than a rude bully.

His constant interruptions of people after asking them a question is simply beyond annoying. He's a pinhead, and what he did today to Erin was another nail in the coffin AFAIC. HS prankster is about it, but at an age when he should know better than do this type of thing.

24. He's a freak.....
...and his Viagra isn't working.

To think I used to watch him regularly because I thought his show was fair.

28. Nope.
Saw the video of that. Couldn't figure out what all the fuss was about.

But, if it Erin Burnett uncomfortable, then she should make that very clear. If so and he did it again, that would upset me.

I have much bigger problems with Tweety and I've had far more bothersome things said to me in a workplace (not my current one, thankfully).

30. What comment?
I don't have time to spend browsing through some political media pundit's crap looking for an unidentified comment.
