I haven't watched Matthews' show in a loooong time. I was reminded tonight why.
He had on a woman guest - some sort if crime reporter, I think. I say "I think" because he was so breathless and anxious to get to listening to himself talk he just slurred her nameandtitleandreasonforbeingonMatthes'showinthefirstplace.

They were discussing the Strauss-Kahn case.

The woman, I think, had interesting things to say. I say "I think" because he was so breathless and anxious to get to listening to himself talk he just cut her off mid-word and wentintoamonologueofhowmuchhelovedherowrkandhowbigabadguyisStrauss-Kahn.

She tried to speak, I think. I say "I think" because he was so breathless and anxious to get to listening to himself talk he just spoke over her andneverlethergettomakingthepointshewastryingtomakewhichissodisrespectfulofthiswomanbutsotypicalofMatthews'styleandwhyIcannolongerstandtowatchhimforevenamoment.

1. I wish I ran MSNBC so I could fire his ass. In public. On his own show.

And force him to sign a non-compete for 10 years so he could not appear anywhere else.

3. His producer long ago should have affixed a "shock collar"
to zap him every time he started getting carried away. That problem would have been solved within weeks.... :eyes:

5. Or, if no improvement was forthcoming, at least we could all get some laughs.

7. As a rule, I normally don't approve of shock collars...
But rules are made to be broken. :evilgrin:

4. Yes! I was talking over him...
"Shut up, Chris, let us hear HER!!" while he was talking over her.
Very frustrating...

6. I was listening to tweety on MSNBC satellite way back to Seattle and
I heard that. Unfortunately, Thom Hartmann's program was over, and it was either tweety or CNN, or espn.

Not much of choice. All of the music channels were playing shitty music, and most of it just annoys the shit out of me.

:shrug:

11. I don't understand what the problem is. I like him and I particularly
liked the way he handled the President and his birth certificate and Tump et assholes.

I've seen him bring some tea party guests to their knees. It's a beautiful thing.

12. Your superlong words are intended to make a point, but they also
force me to scroll endlessly to get to the tside of the post!

15. Agreed
I won't bother with even attempting to watch his show, he is all about him and nothing more.
