OK, I was a fan but Chris Matthews is becoming annoying

[LovinLife]

Really annoying.

[ebayfool]

1. why? n/t

[LovinLife]

2. If you're watching his show today, you'd see why. NT

[FrenchieCat]

4. I turned it off.

He really believes in himself, but not so many others do.

They want Obama to do a Bush and be emotional and shit.
He's mad that Obama isn't politicizing this would-have-been-attack
anymore than he is. Once again, Obama fails to meet expectations
from others on how he should feel, talk, act and think.

So sad for Mr. Tingle up my leg. :(

[ebayfool]

7. TY Frenchie - you expanded enough that I got the gist.

Original op didn't express what the show was about, so I couldn't follow his track.

[flpoljunkie]

13. Intriguing how such a cruel, clueless person as George W. Bush cried at the drop of a hat.

I much prefer our intellectually cool and thoughful President Obama. It is par for the course for our corrupted media to want him to show more emotion. I call bullsh*t on them all!

[dcsmart]

28. good point as usual...

[rvablue]

31. Frenchie, tis unwatchable. But Tweety did refer to the Shrub as Mr. Magoo tonight.

As horrible as the show is as a whole, I had to laugh a little at that.

[ebayfool]

5. Don't have cable. Most people expand a bit when voicing ...

an opinion like that. Thought you might have a particular point to make - sorry I asked.

[niyad]

8. not everyone has cable, not everyone is watching at this hour--some people can't get it at work, for

example. your response was a bit on the snarky side.

[rasputin1952]

3. He's been annoying as long as I've been watching him...

My viewing of his show has dropped dramatically, he's got to have one heck of a guest I'm interested in for me too watch him anymore.

He just doesn't shut up, he's incredibly rude and thinks he's some sort of "genius", he's average in intellect at best, (and I don't see "best" in him that often)...;)

[RepublicanElephant]

6. "becoming"???? nt

[Vinca]

9. He's especially annoying today and, of course, Pat Buchanan

is apparently chained to the desk again and came within a hair's breadth of calling Obama "uppity."

[FrenchieCat]

16. Pat used the good ol' substitute "Elitist" instead.

[flpoljunkie]

10. There is a legitimate argument to made on most anything, but the R's mouthpieces do it dishonestly.

We must demand a higher standard from the main stream media-which would include calling out lies, not letting them go unchallenged.

The mercurial Tweety is not worth watching. He soon bitterly disappoints.

I am listening to Thom Hartmann online who will be followed by Rachel Maddow at 6PM ET at the link below while also watching a captioned CNN.

[NRaleighLiberal]

11. I never found him anything but, and we got rid of most of cable two years ago.

Life is too short than to make ourselves miserable.

[Parker CA]

12. First he has crazy uncle Pat on and now Steele. They're both drooling over one another now.

[Parker CA]

14. Wow. Steele just said going into Iraq was not a mistake. This guy is a wreck.

[LovinLife]

15. I turned when he said "I'm from the streets" SMH. NT

[kayla9170]

17. Chris believes in one thing-RATINGS

And he will say and do ANYTHING if it will get his show more RATINGS. He frankly gets on my damn nerves!

[AlinPA]

18. Matthews is a loudmouthed slobbering fool. nt

[City Lights]

19. Chris Matthews has been annoying since the beginning of time. nt

[louis-t]

20. Becoming?

I get annoyed when he asks a question and doesn't wait for an answer before asking another question, or responding to his own question. He's like a kid that needs ritalin.

[zulchzulu]

21. Tweety likes to swerve in the ditch thinking it makes for good TV n/t

[Nedsdag]

22. Why waste your time watching him?

He's not worth the time and energy anymore.

I used to watch him after Jeopardy, but I decided to watch House Hunters at 7:30 instead.

[Perky]

23. Annoying? Perhaps. But his is the only show where I typically learn something.

[Beacool]

24. Tweety, the leg tingling, sexist jerk, annoying?

Naaahhh, say it ain't so.........

:eyes:

[backscatter712]

25. I turned him off today.

He was playing drama queen, and bemoaning the fact that Pres. Obama didn't go all drama-queeney over the crotch bomber.

[zulchzulu]

26. Watching the show now... he's letting Puke Cannon affect him with the Tough Guy talk

When Puke Cannon bragged about being in the Nixon administration and actually saying that the Nixon administration was "well organized", Tweety tried to one-up him with how Obama should be like some micromanaging mayor sniffing up everybody's butts.

Puke Cannon is a shameless fuck-up and Tweety needs to find another drinking buddy.

[eleny]

27. I thik the White House is going to take that exchange quite seriously

Mark my words - the next time we have some terrible event, President Obama is going to be before the cameras in a flash.

As I watched Tweety and the other two I had to agree that Obama was slow to get before the American people. It's what presidents do when there's an emergency. And believe me what happened on that plane headed for Detroit was about as serious as it gets.

Every time he holds back until the best information is available, he's going to be attacked for not caring. It's not a fair deduction but that's what people will hear over and over.

Americans aren't a population that embraces nuance. It's just the way it is and I'd bet a lot that he's gotten the message. I think that because of the way he spoke today. He was firm and laid it on the line and then didn't take one damn question from the press. It was excellent. We just need that tone every time.

[MadMaddie]

32. I don't think he should change anything.

I think President Obama will continue to manage issues the same way he has. There is no reason for him to change, he will be attacked for reacting and he will be attacked for not appearing to react so to bad for those individuals that have to have a visceral presentation to feel like something is being done. The last 8 years have ruined this country with over the top antics by politicians.

Americans will grow accustomed to a reasoned response to issues it will take time.

[eleny]

33. "so to bad for those individuals that have to have a visceral presentation"

You aren't a politician are you. It's an election year, MM, and Obama is a savvy guy. He knows that the November election is on the line. There's not enough time for Americans to grow accustomed to a reasoned response. Obama understands that.

There's a reason why football has overcome baseball in popularity in America and slam bang entertainment makes the big bucks. And it doesn't matter that we like a president who is more tempered in his approach. He has to appeal to a wider array of personalities. It's crap on a platter but it is what it is and there's no choice but to give the masses what they crave. He did it today and he'll do it every time from here on out. Mark my words.

[MadMaddie]

29. I was done with Matthews when he got tingly up his leg

watching junior walk across the flight deck with the fish in his crotch and the Mission Accomplished Banner in the background.

[rvablue]

30. Rarely watch anymore, but I am today. And I'm about to throw my TV out the window.

Does that man ever go back and watch one of his broadcasts on tape?

The fact that he continues to spew as he does would suggest, that no, he does not.

[Clio the Leo]

34. Oh, who cares ....it was worth it to watch him rip Steele to shreds!

THAT was some good tv!
