Matthews on Boehner: ‘You Can See This Man’s Greatness’



MSNBC’s Chris Matthews conducted a hard-hitting interview tonight with House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-OH). The most aggressive line of questioning Boehner faced was over the hotly-debated question, “Is Hillary Clinton a socialist?” which Matthews asked three times. The segment concluded with Matthews declaring, “You can see this man’s greatness.”

In an interview in today’s Washington post, Matthews provide another subtle hint about his political leanings. Matthews said “I do make that old mistake of calling Cooper Anderson. Where I grew up you had a first name and last name and now you’ve got all these guys who have two last names…I’m more in the tradition of Bill O’Reilly. Sean Hannity. Chris Matthews…”

Full transcript below:

MATTHEWS: Is she a socialist?

BOEHNER: Uh, no. I’ve worked with her on a number of issues —

MATTHEWS: Well, on the issue of health care, is she a socialist?

BOEHNER: She would be to the left of most people I know.

MATTHEWS: But not a socialist?

BOEHNER: I wouldn’t go that far.

MATTHEWS: You wouldn’t go that far? What stops you?

BOEHNER: I don’t like labeling of people.

MATTHEWS: You call her a liberal. You called it Hillarycare.

BOEHNER: I don’t want to call her a socialist.

MATTHEWS: Could she carry Ohio in the general?

BOEHNER: I don’t think so.

MATTHEWS: Who could beat her?

BOEHNER: Anybody.

MATTHEWS: Anybody. Strong words. We’ll be right back with House Majority Leader John Boehner. You can see this man’s greatness.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

3. I don't understand, I really don't,

why anyone with any intelligence (nothing personal here) watches that bleached blowhard. Tweety's such a self-aggrandizing ass-kisser, he's worse than worthless.

And, by the way, it's really pronounced "Boner." He's not kidding anyone................

4. I've lost the ability to actually watch the show...

...the relevant atrocities make it onto the web in the form of clips. Spending an hour watching Tweety spit and stutter and interrupt his guests is not my idea of a good time.

Chris Matthews is to "serious journalism" what Kevin Federline is to "serious music"...an ass scratcher.



:patriot:

7. How pathetic

Why would we place any credence in what a Republican leader says about which Democrat could win?

[Captain Hilts]

8. What a 'ho Matthews is. This is worse than his 'man crush' on McCain. nt

[emald]

9. you can see this (tweety's) man's idiocy...

what a tweet. Mr spittle praising a known criminal legislator, now theres something new. Who can listen to this clap trap without banging your head on the table? I saw this by accident yesterday as I was channel surfing and was astounded at the statement. Idiots.

10. He's officially kicked off his Campaign for Conservatives

Last night's show (what little I saw because I kept switching out of his disgusting, drooling performance over the Cons), should have been tagged as a fucking campaign contribution!

:puke:

[lumpy]

11. Tweety loves Boner's

puppy dog eyes and alluring voice. Matthews is as transparent as glass campaigning for the neocons.
