The Passion (for George Bush) of Chris Matthews
Posted by Jill | 6:51 AM

Chris Matthews' lust for George W. Bush is COMPLETELY out of control:

Yes, it's that bad. After his on-the-air gay-bashing, his creepy stereotyping of Latinos, his incredibly offensive comparisons of peaceful Americans to Osama bin Laden, and his ever-growing right-wing bias, MSNBC's Chris Matthews has gone off the deep end.

Crooks and Liars has the video. On tonight's "Hardball," Matthews discusses US Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito's wife, and how she'll likely be featured during the State of the Union:

MATTHEWS: ...won't they say something up beat and (bucking up)... isn't she a great woman, didn't she stand up-and then they'll put the camera right on Ted Kennedy and show how he was the guy that molested her basically-that's the way they'll play it...


This is journalism? Making light of the sexual abuse of women on national TV? And accusing a sitting US Senator of the offense, to boot (and no suprise it was a Democratic Senator).


Yeah, yeah, yeah, Kennedy men, women, William Kennedy Smith Mary Jo Kopechne.

Now that those irrelevancies are out of the way, will someone please explain to me how even the most blowhardy bombast directed at Martha-Ann BombBomb's husband is some how equivalent to sexually molesting HER?

Every time a progressive says anything against a Republican, it's hate speech. But in the last few days, we've seen Ann Coulter call for someone to put rat poison in Justice Stevens' coffee and call it a "joke", we've seen a Republican fundraiser which crowed until the mention was taken off the RNC's web site that it would feature a Jesse Jackson pinata in a fun re-creation of the good old days of lynching, and now Chris Matthews is calling the Judicial interrogation process a sexual molestation of the nominee's wife, and that's perfectly OK.

I'm going to go stick an icepick in my forehead now.
