CHRIS MATTHEWS GETS A LITTLE DOSE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE…

And it’s about time this sleazy little toad, Chris “Mr. Tingles” Matthews found out what it feels like. The tables were turned on the MSNBC host when he appeared as a guest Tuesday on Larry Elder’s radio show to promote some idiotic new book of his, “Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero.” Mr. Elder, and rightly so, wasn‘t all that impressed by Matthews’ apparent beatification of Kennedy in the book. At one point during the interview, Elder asked if Matthews thinks his job as a journalist is to “help Obama succeed,” and later interrupted the “Soft”ball host in the same typical manner in which he cuts his own guests off everyday. Matthews is a joke, and it’s reflected in his ratings being in the basement.



The Hollywood Reporter brings us some of Elders thoughts when the radio host wrote about the interview on his blog Thursday: “You know things didn’t go well when, a few minutes after the interview concludes, Matthews’ booker emails my producer,” Mr. Elder wrote on Thursday. The email read: “I wish you would’ve let me know that Larry was planning on attacking Chris. Chris is always up for a good, healthy debate, but that was really not professional or cool.” I guess it’s only considered as being cool is when it’s Matthews who’s doing the attacking. And, anyway, I think “attacking” is a bit too strong of a word to describe what took place during the interview.


The exchange between Elder and Matthews started something like this: “Chris, first do you still feel as a journalist, it is your job to help Obama succeed?” Elder asked. To which “Mr. Tingles” replied: ”Well, I certainly feel it is my job to help any new president succeed and I said that. And I think it was true when I wrote it for Bush in 2000 with hopes that he would do well until he made some decisions I couldn’t live with and when that comes with Obama, I will break with him.” He added, “So far he [Obama] has done what I think he should, but he hasn’t been the leader I think he should be but he’s made the decisions I think I would make.” What a bunch of drivel!


“Do you consider yourself a journalist?” Elder pried. “Yeah, I’m a journalist. I’m a columnist. I’m a commentator.” Elder qualified “No, no a journalist – you think you’re an objective down-the-middle journalist?” “No, I’m not down the middle. I’m slightly to the left,” Matthews stated. “Slightly to the left?” mocked Elder. “I’d say 40-yard-line.” The 40-yard-line? Really? Elder then critiqued Matthews for saying Republicans want people “who don’t have insurance to die on the gurney.” While Matthews attempted to respond, Elder interrupted: “I’m sorry for cutting you off the way you cut your guests off.” Matthews is a whiner and has no basis on which to be so defensive about the interview. Especially when many of his own guests are subjected to far worse lines of questioning and interruptions on any given day.
