Chris Matthews actually uttered something good tonight...

[WCGreen]

I had it on while he was talking to Kathleen Kennedy about the new Bridge Group.

He maid the point that almost all of the talking heads that appear on MSNBC and FOX and CNN are all part of the Washington Elite and they all make more than $250k a year so how can we expect these people to know what it is like to be a working class democrat.

Chris, I am disabled and a small business man.

I make far less that $250k per year. In fact I am lucky to make $250k per decade.

I will be glad to talk to you about politics anytime you choose.

Just contact me here....

1. Now that would be so cool...

If he were willing to actually talk to you, and listen to what you had to say. Too bad that he won't.

It's frustrating to think how much we actually know, and if those elite types could hear us, they would learn a lot.

But they won't...they don't care.

They got theirs.

2. Hope he goes with that idea

these people set the agenda for our country and who are they exactly? Other than spouting poll results they do not have a clue what is happening to the "regular people."
For every talking head they should list their income, have a picture of their house and car while they are speaking.

3. Isn't CM also part of that Washington elite?

He's probably just saying that to appear like he has some connection to the common man, but I bet he won't actually have any commoners like us on his show.

4. Of course he is....

And that is why it was pretty cool that he actually admitted it.

that's the first step, admitting that there is a problem.

5. Talk is cheap

Let's see how many non-elites actually end up on his show.

7. He had one on last night. the lady who said she was tired of

defending Obama recently lost her job and CM had her on to discuss her plight...

6. His salary is $5 million per year

Save the populist bullshit for someone that buys your crap. Matthews is quite possibly the most vapid corporate whore on TV.
