Discussing the body language of McCain and Obama, Chris was talking to Nora O,Donnel and the other guy with the little beard.
At the end of the discussion he said, "It's like Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd. Bugs just keeps smiling while getting Elmer Fudd all upset."
I have zero respect for Chris Matthews ray and it surprises me he can even find the office in the morning. The man has lost all of his credentials in my mind wih his blatent support of Obama in this race. Watching him is rather like watching Hannity and calling it news. Now what would be good is to see a show with both of those two hacks on at the same time and then you might have something close to fair and balanced. I wonder if he is going to be able to still walk if Obama wins as that tingle in his leg might take over his whole body. Watching Chris Matthews is like watching Howard Dean telling me how fair and balanced he is. I will pass thank you as well as pass on the rest of the media hacks who's first job it is , is to support a cause then report then news.
Gee, maybe next time the debate moderator could be Rush Limbaugh. He is sooooo unbiased, isn't he?
Whenever I see a Bugs Bunny cartoon I get a tingle up my leg.

Mathews openly supported Bush against Gore in 2000. Did that bother you?
Mathews has never been a news analyst. He's a pundit. Republicans generally liked him when he was slamming the Clintons, and supporting Bush against Gore.
Oh well.
Chris Matthews worked for JFK. He makes absolutely no effort to pretend he doesn't have preferences. He doesn't moderate the debates. And I do think, to him, he's found the next JFK. Doesn't mean he's saying anything untrue, but it does mean that his observations are colored by that. Same as Joe Scarborough. Joe is clearly in McCain's camp. But he tries his best to not be offensive or rude to anyone else. Doesn't make me respect either of them less. In fact, I love watching Scarborough. Don't mind Matthews, though he's not my favorite. I like watching Rachel Maddow, especially when she and Pat Buchanan are facing off.
JFK made it to the presidency using stolen votes, too. Maybe he and Obama are alike, after all.
Perhaps I am a bit jaded and long for the days of just a news broadcaster that gives your the news without the need for commentary or snide remarks. It seems that the media these days generally believes that the audience they are speaking to is stupid and it's their job to decide who and what we should know and not know. With a a traditional news broadcast with no editorializing, you the viewer make up YOUR mind as to what it is you believe or not as it should be. This tendancy to over editorialize is reflected in NBC's ratings as they are constantly the number three network by far in news and cable news. If you think this is somehow my legitimizing Rupert Murdochs little outfit or Ted Turner's former little outfit then your wrong, they to have fallen into this same trap. It is my belief that more and more people will seek their news from the internet all the while looking to be the ones in control of the decision making process.
What on earth am I projecting, dingbat? I've never been a Dem nominee, therefore have never considered stealing an election.

I'm not sure there was ever such a thing as broadcasters who gave you "just the facts". I'm not sure there's such a thing as "just the facts", actually. When Edward R. Murrow saw the disgusting things the HUAC was doing, he made it his project. When Cronkite saw the error of the Vietnam War, he showed body counts every day. And when Cronkite turned on the War, Richard Nixon said "if we've lost Cronkite, we've lost the war' or something to that effect. (sorry, I don't recall the exact quote).
I think perhaps "pundits" now are just so numerous and some are so headsplittingly pathetic, that we've lost faith in the people who speak to us. That was the beauty of a Tim Russert and, to be fair, Tom Brokaw is in that league, too (notwithstanding the horrible job he did as moderator of the town hall debate).
