Chris Mathews is blasting on Bush, the economy, McCain etc. IKve never seen him so wound up and giving the repigs hell. He has Rep Cong Cantor on the hot box.
This is the 12AM rerun show!
Full Version: Hard Hard Hardball
They've had a couple of different clips from Hardball on C&L where he is kind of losing it. I'll try to catch tonights if I'm still up.
Obviously, someone has taken Chris's medications and has them hidden.
In either case, he is a pleasure to watch, lately, in the hard manner in which he is hitting the right wingers.
We need more to follow suit.
Soon, we can expect the McCain camp t0 refuse interviews on "Hardball."
Their best bet is "SoftBall" with Larry King.

I think Chris might have took a serious beating with this econ-meltdown -- he seems pretty pissed off. As for that neo-con tool he was hardballing:
Joan Walsh nailed it later in the show when she said it was today's repig talking point: Crisis. Leadership. Crisis. Leadership. Crisis. Leadership.... yawn.... of course, this week, Grampy has demonstrated that he IS the Crisis and Barack has demonstrated that he IS the Leadership.

One particular rant from Matthews which scored big is when he asked, the economy is in a freefall, but where is the president? Why isn't he on television speaking to the American public? Bush is having another Katrina moment.

Chris getting pissed is GREAT! We need MORE commutators getting "pissed" at what these Neo-Con bastards have done!
Yes! Dems are also responsible in part for playing along! This government is a farce with its 2 party system -ying and yang! Both parties are OWNED by corporate elites. Both parties follow their "role" : Repugs are the STRONG Stellar types who believe in "hit um NOW" policy [falls in line with the MIC feed] and take no prisoners [diplomacy is waste of time] which John McCain professes; and the DEMS who are intellectuals, Weak on immediate defense, but Caring for the common man. Diplomacy and civic protectionism are their trumps.
The Elites use ONE against the OTHER, and the "players"[those who are bought off by either promised positions to wealth, or cash now,etc] do their best to "follow the play book". They KNOW how the story goes and ends[both sides].
What makes it all work, is the MSM which has their part to play! They pass along the "dribble" and play dumb to what is really going on! These are not journalists by any stretch of the imagination. They could care less about the truth; the facts as they are! Their objective is to keep the "confrontation" going between the 2 players/parties and fill in with the NEEDED BS to keep us "dumbed down" and entertained! The Romans did it with the Gladiatorial fights and "stagings" almost year round [ keep the folks involved ] with the ritual blood sacrifices and pleasures of BEING ROMAN citizens!
We do exactly the same thing, and the elite of today are using the same "play book" to distract, and re-direct --for the GOOD of the COUNTRY! BS!
As long as the people don't catch on, or if they do by some "fluke"...then put out the sacrificial lamb [pig in this case] and everything will die down! People are basically stupid and lazy! They rather have entertainment and profitable "opportunities" placed before them ON A REGULAR BASIS, than to KNOW the TRUTH for what it REALLY IS. Thus the purpose of our illustrious MAIN STREAM MEDIA
[MSM] to keep the KOOL-AIDE coming! 
What happened in the last few days is the "bill" being passed! The elite won't pay it! That's for dummies like us
who are stuck with the bill- to deal with! We Who love the entertainment and profitable Opportunities! It's called disaster capitalism all cloaked in ritual fervor!
And with all the fear and "fun" being swooshed around over this latest group of players and their campaign, who has the eyes or stomach to watch the Constitution being reduced brick by brick! Fascism has become our way of life!
Christianized fascism that is!

Why are republicans trying to change their uniforms in mid-stream? (Chris asks) What happened to drill, drill, drill?
Where is Bush? Pretending in Texas, as usual. People are still dying from Ike.
Bush just cancelled a trip or a vacation of some kind and decided to sit down and talk to his economic advisors some more. Dum de dum
The only questions that remain are: Did they let this happen or make it happen? Probably both.
Anyway hearing on some of this on the span. I think some of these hearings are pushed to cspan3 and even farther - you may have to stream.

Can someone get a youtube linky? I'm at work but will try to watch it at home. I just sort of started boycotting Cris last night..oops 
I think Obama is going to get a fresh look from some republicans now. Problem is it will not show in the polls because no repub will admit it.
I think we just found an "ism" stronger than racism. Greedism?

Oh Thank God.
After reading the thread title, I thought my sex-tape had been released prematurely. 
Anyway. . .
. . . I still don't trust Chris. At best, he's a fair-weather guy. He just backs whomever happens to be winning. That being said, it's nice to have one more on the progressive side for a little while, although I would be hesitant to invite him to any secret club meetings.
