WOW...Is Chris Matthews setting his tone for tonight? He's on fire.
He's ripping Rep Chris Carney (D) a new asshole, bigtime, for being "smart enought to get us into this war, and smart enough to be against it once it went bad." Sure, dude's a dem, but Chris' ripping is non-partisan...it pertains to ANY of the war douchebags!

1. Isn't Carney a new Congresscritter?
And if so, how could he have gotten us into the war? :shrug:

He mentioned something about him being associated with Feith.

3. Yes, and you're right -- he DIDN'T vote for the war
Tweety even said at the conclusion, "Glad they finally got someone like you, an Irish guy, to represent Scranton" so he KNEW on some level that Carney wasn't around for the IWR vote.

:wtf:

Still nice to see Tweety tough on Rethugs even prior to a speechification from the Chimp.

6. Yeah, after it ended, it looks like Matthews was just beating up on a kid
Carney had that deer in the headlights quality -- "Ooh...I'm on teeeveeeee!" But did a shitty job as spokesman. Which begs the question...why Chris Carney? We don't have any heavy hitters willing to tell Matthews to STFU tonight? Carney acknowledged that he was chosen to speak for the dems on Hardball tonight, but Matthews hammered him -- and rightly so -- about why the democrats aren't using their rebuttal to kick Bush's ass. Dude had no answer. Pretty sad performance.

13. Let's see what happens AFTER the speech
Kinda hard to clobber someone if you don't know what you're clobbering yet.

4. Chris can include himself
After seeing bush strut on the aircraft carrier he said;
"All women want to be with him and men want to be just like him. He is
magnificent. I want to do him now myself." Rough quote.

5. Seems to me that Mathews was big & long on the invasion too.
Smilin', a-grinnin', back slappin' and high fivein' all around in MArch '03.

So what's all that about?

9. I think Chris and Keith are co-hosting the pre-game
show, possibly the post-game show also.

Matthews is acting odd
He is groaning and heaving sighs off camera
I think he may implode soon

11. Remember he was off for two weeks

They said it was Diabetes.

IMO, it was the Dia BOTTLE of Booze.

He was probably hiding out at the Betty Ford Center.

12. Mathews has a point
I didn't catch it but Chris Carney is my new rep - worked hard for him too in our very Red District in NE PA but
Chris worked for Intel with Feith and Cheney and he still stands by the pre war intel he found
he has softened his stance since I first met and talked with him a couple of years ago but on this issue - he stands by his background and his military and intel experience - and I have argued with him myself
Mathews has a point - up to a point - Chris was not the guy in charge - he was a worker bee - and I for one hold Bush Cheny and Rumsfeld for the mess we are in
they should be tried for war crimes

14. Matthews was needling the guy and Carney seemed to be chuckling
with embarrassment.

Frankly, I was surprised to see a D by his name
