When did Chris Matthews all of a sudden decide to hate Bush?

[varkam]

Did I miss something?

[LeftyMom]

1. The wind shifted.

:shrug:

[Orrex]

8. Is that a euphemism?

If so, you're absolutely right--Wallace is a gas-bag who's been flatulating on the public stage for years. Why he sometimes gets a pass here on DU is wholly beyond me.

[ellenfl]

24. who's wallace? eom

[Orrex]

25. How the hell should I know? I was clearly out of my mind when I posted.

:wtf:

:wtf:


That was strange.

[ellenfl]

30. lol . . . ah, that explains it. eom

[JerseygirlCT]

10. Yup

Expect to hear much more sudden honesty from the media. There's a new sheriff in town.

[LeftyMom]

18. Not honesty. They're still self interested lying fucks who tell people what they want to hear.

What the public wants to hear is different. If the public lurches right in a year or two they'll all lurch right again. And if the public lurches left they'll do that. Right now vaguely leftish optimistic centrism is in, so they're leftish centrists, they were always leftish centrists, and they won't schedule anybody who says otherwise.

[JerseygirlCT]

22. Yeah, you're probably right. nt

[valerief]

2. He must have been told to. nt

[JuniperLea]

3. Ratings...

When you find that more people like or dislike something, you gotta jump on that old bandwagon or you will miss out!

[jedr]

16. Oh , so true;

The days of "Uncle Walter" giving it to us straight has been changed to tabloid sensationalism on a 24hr news cycle. To add to this , tweety is going to make a future run for Arlin Specters Senate seat as a Dem. Meanwhile MSNBC needs to sell soap and lots of it. I get my news here, it's the best place I've found.

[John Q. Citizen]

19. Yep, he sees Rachel and Keith and put 2 and 2 together.

[mod mom]

35. Exactly. He saw KO's surge and abandoned the * bandwagon.

[seemslikeadream]

4. Now that is cool

THIS IS NO JOKE

[PM Martin]

5. Which direction is the wind blowing in?

It's as simple as that.

[Jackpine Radical]

6. Isn't he gonna run for Congress as a Dem in 2010?

Gotta start laying some track.

[JerseygirlCT]

11. No, he decided not to do so. nt

[librechik]

no, thank goodness--he's just flakking for the perceived Alpha Dog

Obama gives him s tingle.

Just like Bush used to.

Wiser heads talked him out of running in PA.

[Jackpine Radical]

17. Thanx Jersey & libre. I never know what the hell's going on

among the nattering classes.

[baldguy]

7. You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

And the wind currently happens to be blowing from Chicago.

[JerseygirlCT]

13. Doesn't that line now have the BEST resonance?

I love it. Dylan was more prescient than he could have known!

[patrice]

9. Maybe CM believes in Responsibility, which has been crapped on by this pResident. nt

[Crunchy Frog]

12. He'll probably like him next week. n/t

[DutchLiberal]

14. When he realized soon he had to suck up to another person in power...

Whether it was going to be Hillary, Obama or McCain. He knew he had to start making the change in time as to make it appear like the change was gradually. This is what he does: he always picks the side of those in power, no matter who they are. That's why I have no respect for him.

[UTUSN]

15. When he signed his new contract?!1 n/t

[ColbertWatcher]

20. He seems different since that time when he and Olbermann argued on air ...

... during the primary and they both "punished" by MSNBC.

[ellenfl]

21. that's what i'd like to know. eom

[Jamastiene]

23. When he felt that tingle go up his leg earlier this year. n/t

[Marr]

26. When it became fashionable.

It's funny how all these guys suddenly start admitting obvious truths, while still marginalizing the people who pointed out those obvious truths when it wasn't easy to do so.

[AlCzervik]

27. When Bush's poll numbers started to sink, the he jumped of the man crush band wagon.

have 0 respect for Chris Matthews.

[Auggie]

43. That's exactly what he did. I haven't any respect for him either.

[Neshanic]

28. It's safe now. The memo from GE/NBC/MSNBC/CNBC/was passed around today.

[muntrv]

29. The SS Chimpy is sinking and Chris is jumping ship.

[graywarrior]

31. He doesn't care that people remember how he kissed Bush's ass

for almost 8 years. He's an opportunist and a jerk.

[Bandit]

32. When Keith became far more popular and took over as the "Big Dog"

Then along came Rachael and really blew himm out of the ball park. He finally realized Bush* was not cool and popular so he switched sides. I guess that is why he said he wants to run for the Senate. He has that type of mind set..

[blm]

33. After a Category 5 hurricane blew media's protective curtain away and became an UNSPINNABLE EVENT.

.

[radfringe]

34. ALAS... the allure of

a "manly man" in a "manly man" flight suit with a "manly man" cod piece has worn off

[Dukkha]

36. you can hear the stripping sound of bandwagoners

peeling their lips off of his ass.

[KG]

37. jilted.

[Javaman]

38. Because their corporate masters told them it would be good for ratings. nt

[shrike]

39. He wants to be on the side that's winning

With apologies to Bob Dylan.

[Johonny]

40. Dude has a 401 K like everyone else

[Ishoutandscream2]

41. Ding, ding, ding!!! A winner

Even members of the corporate controlled media have seen their savings dwindle because of the ass wipe Bush.

[Hubert Flottz]

42. His nose fell out of Bush's @$$ and he can't figure out how

to stick it back up in there without Timmy tater-head around to direct him.

I still don't watch tweety and I won't ever trust him again. He blew his credibility and gawd only knows what else...

[Phred42]

44. When he was pretending to be a Democrat so he could run against Specter
