NEW YORK – MSNBC's Chris Matthews said he was surprised by the "peculiar stagecraft" of Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal's response to President Barack Obama's speech to Congress, leading him to quietly say "Oh God" as Jindal approached a microphone."Gov. Bobby Jindal walking from somewhere in the back of this narrow hall, this winding staircase looming there, the odd antebellum look of the scene," he said. "Some people heard my reaction at the time. What was the message in all this? Was this some mimicking of a president walking along the state floor to the East Room? And at the same time that the Republicans are so far from Washington that they can't be blamed for anything?"
Really? You really think we’re going to buy that lame explanation? From where did you expect the governor to come, Chris? Were you expecting him to beam down from somewhere? Were you expecting him to slide down the banister of the stairs or maybe do a dance routine down the staircase in a black tuxedo, top hat, and white spats? What exclamation of surprise would any of those situations have evoked, Chris? Would you have muttered “filthy half breed” and then tried to cover it up by saying “well, I was just surprised that he had a teleportation device so I muttered ‘filthy half breed’”? Or maybe you would have gasped “God I f***ing hate Republican swine and I think we should ship them all off to concentration camps for the ‘Final Solution’ and then tried to cover it up by some completely unbelievable explanation like “well, um, anyone wearing white spats just adds to the ‘odd antebellum look’ of a scene and I just think anyone that doesn’t worship my god Ahura Obama Mazda should be shot on sight… wait, I mean…”.
Chris Matthews’ thin and tattered veil of objectivity was ripped away in the whirlwind of Obamamania a long, long time ago. With statements such as “it is my job to support this president” (referring to Obama of course) and assertions that he might run for office on a Democratic ticket, no one is buying his version of “objectivity” anymore. Chris Matthews went from “in the tank” to “in love” many, many months ago and now his hatred for anything and anyone right of center can no longer even be controlled. His leftist seething is seeping out like water from an overfilled water balloon and like the water balloon that internal pressure will eventually cause him to explode and hopefully destroy himself in the process.
It seems to me that accountability, class, and basic, common courtesy just aren't expected of Matthews and his ilk, so in the interest of fair play, I would like to make my own classless, rude, and biased statement: If Barry O invited Chris Matthews to get bent over the desk in the Oval Office for some executive sodomy, Mathews would refuse the lube just so he could be closer to his lord and master. Oh, and by that statement I mean that I was just surprised by Chris Matthews’ “peculiar stagecraft” and “odd antebellum look”.
Wonderful analysis. Thank you for sticking it to that disingenuous heap.
