Gee, the same day that Chris Matthews tells a fag joke on the air. I guess MSNBC is on a race to the bottom here and Matthews is leading the pack.
It seems that for some reason Matthews feels the need to become the uber-Republican. Trash Hillary for making comments that Newt, Bob Novak, and the Wall Street Journal have made. Tell fag jokes like one of the good ole boys. Defend Bush at all costs. If Matthews can just ingratiate himself a bit more, then maybe the Republican establishment will really like him.
Pitiful. And terribly embarrassing for NBC and all of its namesakes.
Peter Daou is right, we need to demand an apology:
DEMAND AN APOLOGY: "Bin Laden sounds like Clint Eastwood" -- "Bin Laden sounds like Ron Silver" -- "Bin Laden sounds like Rush Limbaugh" -- "Bin Laden sounds like Bill O'Reilly"-- "Bin Laden sounds like Mel Gibson" -- "Bin Laden sounds like Bruce Willis" -- "Bin Laden sounds like Michelle Malkin"... Imagine the outrage on the right and in the press (but I repeat myself) if a major media figure spat out those words. Well, on Hardball, Chris Matthews just blurted out that Bin Laden sounds like Michael Moore. Simple: Matthews should apologize. On the air. This has NOTHING to do with Michael Moore and everything to do with how far media figures can go slandering the left. And last I checked, Michael Moore didn't massacre thousands of innocent Americans.
