What in the hell is wrong with Chris Matthews????

[CoffeeCat]

I'm seriously wondering if Chris Matthews has a split personality.

One minute, he is glowing about the Clintons and practically falling
all over himself to get into their good graces.

The next, he can't bash them enough and will run roughshod over them as if he's
paid $100 for every Clinton slam.

What is with this guy?

He is entertaining and he definitely is a talented communicator--but does the
guy hold any one belief for more than five minutes?

I'm wondered if he is totally swayed by the handlers of both campaigns, because
his basic, core beliefs seems to shift by the hour.

It's frickin maddening!

1. He is profit-ratings-driven. Period.

[UALRBSofL]

12. You hit the nail on the head

That's exactly what it is.

2. Cocaine is for horses, not for men/They tell me it'll kill me, they won't say when

I have a feeling there's some substance abuse involved in Tweety's personality changes. I won't hazard a guess about which substance, despite the subject line. I just suspect its presence.

3. Corporate bosses are alternating attacks

They don't want either Dem to win. Probably pretty confusing for a script reader like Matthews.

17. not necessarily ... laziness plays into it ...

Hillary wins, they don't even have to make up new shit to attack her with ... they just rehash all the old issues ...

[MrCoffee]

4. He has no core beliefs. He's a gasbag.

[Atman]

5. He calls that being fair.

He bashes just enough, then praises just enough, so that no one can pin him down and equate him to a Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh.

He really doesn't care about anything...just so his paycheck clears the bank.

6. I had this exact same thought.

[LittleClarkie]

7. Depends on which personality Sybil is displaying on any given day

Apparently one is a Clinton supporter, and one is not.

[calico1]

8. He isn't a real reporter.

Everything that comes out of his mouth is done for ratings.

9. I wonder the same thing. This morning he practically called Obama's candidacy "dead."

Or "A few hours ago the dream died," I THINK referring to Hillary's "performance" of her phony win in FL. :shrug:

[smokey nj]

10. He's an asshole with a saliva control problem. That's all he is and all he'll ever be.

[LibraLiz1973]

11. He is a cocksucker and I found his commentary about Edwards dropping

to be rude and obnoxious.

Miserable FUCK

[my3boyz]

13. Split personality

I never take a thing he says seriously. ONe minute he will be kissing a candidate's butt and the next minute he will cut them down to the ground. I honestly think he is a Republican and can't stand any of the democrats.

19. "a Republican (who) can't stand any of the democrats"

When did it first dawn on you? :)

[Hawkowl]

14. He's a dummy

As in the ventriloquist defense contractor owned NBC simply whispers what it wants said into his earpiece and it magically reguritated for all to hear.

[CoffeeCat]

15. After reading these responses...

It seems like he panders to everyone, and fucks with everyone---so the entire lot of
them are at his mercy.

So, they constantly must cater to him---knowing that he's a scatterbrained blow hard who will
play vicious with your future, the day after he sung your highest praises.

Matthews seems to play the "You can't pin me down. I'll randomly bash all of you" card, to give
himself more power.

In effect, they all kiss his ass hourly, I'm sure--but, behind-the-scenes,
treating him like a lunatic with a hand grenade.

Scary.

16. He's schizo

And he has been for a long time. You never know what kind of crazy shit will come out of his mouth. He seriously could be one of the best political people on TV if he could balance his personality.

[Seabiscuit]

18. He's the lowest form of scum: a media whore's media whore.

[adabfree]

20. You guys

are hilarious...


Matthews is pretty entertaining though...

[Raffi Ella]

21. this entire thread has me laughing out loud.

I read one of his books and in it he says something to the effect of his conscious won't allow him to be anything but a Democrat but that his upbringing and sensibilities are Republican and it's hard for him to reconcile the two :eyes:


How convenient for him.
