Press Will Never Get To Ask Sarah Palin Any Questions, Because She’s Studying

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

Two weeks before Sarah Palin will talk to anyone. It’s like cramming for the LSAT in two weeks, except in this case, the LSAT is “the entirety of foreign and domestic United States policy,” which has nothing to do with The Law. [YouTube]


Biggest Moron On Earth Makes For Delicious ‘Hardball’ Comedy

Thursday, May 15th, 2008


We have seen some “chatter” about the second-straight brilliant episode of Hardball today, and hot damn, this is some seven-diamond comedy here. Matthews is interviewing Republican radio host “Kevin James,” who screams in some white-trash voice about Obama being an appeaser for a couple minutes, before — around 4:00 into the clip — Matthews annihilates him, calls him “pathetic,” says “you don’t know anything,” and does this for several minutes. Nice work. Do it again tomorrow! [MSNBC]


Steve Doocy’s Son Still Not As Terrible As Steve Doocy

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

Last night John McCain appeared on Chris Matthews’ Hardball “College Tour,” live from Pennsylvania’s Villanova University. And who asks the second Student Question but Peter Doocy, and it is about doing shots of whiskey, and he’s the personification of Frat, and he’s the son of Fox & Friends co-anchor Steve Doocy — quite possibly the biggest (yet most harmless) douche on Fox News. They are the same person, except one of them has a national teevee show. The clip is below! MORE »

matthewsclinton.jpg*AWW, SAD TWEETY:* Chris Matthews opened Hardball today with a long explanation/apology about his kinda sexist comments against Hillary Clinton. Check out the video and transcript on Media Matters — the “WHOA” at the end, that’s priceless. And speaking of Media Matters, screw those guys. They quoted us on their just-as-longwinded, just-as-worthless manifesto against Chris Matthews earlier today. We enjoy making fun of this puerile douchemongerer nearly as much as Mike Huckabee enjoys a good thoroughbred in the sack. But an earnest movement against this Aspies flapmouth? Please, spare us.

Chris Matthews Worships Trent Lott

Thursday, January 17th, 2008


Clues for Discovering Closet Fascists: Do they complain that the Senate is bad without Trent Lott and John Breaux? Do they say “it must be no fun with you guys gone”? Do they say “I would like to be a Senator if I could hang out with you guys”? Do they call Trent Lott and John Breaux “great veteran political heroes and legends of the Senate”?? Maybe if Trent had never resigned, Chris Matthews wouldn’t have had all these problems.


John McCain’s Batshit Senile Mother Speaks, Offends

Monday, November 12th, 2007


Sweet candied Walnuts! Get this: John McCain is in his motherfucking 70s but has a mother. You know, one of those things that children and young adults have. Well, Friday was “Bring Your 95-year old Mother To ‘Hardball’ And Watch Her Say Crazy Shit On National TV” Day for our campaigners, and Walnuts heeded the call. Watch Roberta McCain, in the video above, explain why congressman… er, senat… well some doo-hickey government employee Mitt Romney and his magic pajamas-wearing ilk are ruining the world. You’re next on her hit list, youse whiskey-toting Irish papists.

You know those ridiculous “Join Rudy” YouTube ads about how Fred Thompson’s a transsexual and Mitt Romney’s a scientologist? Well, they didn’t actually win the MSNBC Hardball Chris Matthews video awards, which is apparently a real thing. [Inside Cable News]

Tammy Haddad is out as a ‘Hardball’ producer, possibly because Chris Matthews is now the second-least watched host on MSNBC. Guess who he’s beating, though! [Tammy Haddad Out As Chris Matthews EP [HuffPo]


Tim Russert Makes Mafia-Gangland Deal With Fitzgerald

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

'And we'll break the other leg next, wiseguy.' - WonkettePatrick Fitzgerald cut some kind of mysterious deal with Tim Russert to get the TV entertainer to briefly testify, but Scooter Libby’s lawyers want to know what Russert was promised and why “prosecutors failed to ask Russert a number of important questions.” MORE »


Barack Hussein Obama Always Plotting Against Us

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

As the drawling Joker-esque GOP op Ed Rogers made clear on Hardball, Barack Hussein Obama has a very sinister Muslim middle name that’s just one “Saddam” away from being “Saddam Hussein.” MORE »
