Chris Matthews: “I’m so glad that storm happened last week”
Chris Matthews hates Americans. That is [Chris Traeger voice] literally the only thing to take from this short clip from last night when Matthews, the host of MSNBC’s Hardball, tells his fellow political talking heads that he “so glad that storm happened last week.” I know some of own readers have been horribly affected by Sandy so there is really no way for them to even be outraged by this insensitive remark.

Is Matthews crying? It is a fucking election.

the left media has dumbshit assholes after all. this guy and fox need to go out in a field and kill each other.
November 7th, 2012 at 11:30 AM
Mathews is solid in my opinion. He really hated Romney and I’m afraid that if Obama lost he was gonna have an anuersym(sp). That being said, that comment is pretty bad
November 7th, 2012 at 11:32 AM
even though she talks out the side of her mouth and thinks she has a dong, maddow could get it.
November 7th, 2012 at 11:32 AM
I mean it’s an insanely stupid thing to say, but staging donation rallies and getting FEMA funding brought up as an issue definitely didn’t help ol’ Mittens.
November 7th, 2012 at 11:32 AM
also seems unnecessary. with such an EC rout, especially in swing states, did the storm have that much of an effect?
November 7th, 2012 at 11:33 AM
maddow could get it.
i would welcome her making out with my wife

no doubt, but how many folks made their mind up since the storm?
November 7th, 2012 at 11:35 AM
I think Fox was saying something similar but in the reverse: that if Sandy doesn’t happen, Obama doesn’t get the bump to win.
And yes, that remark was as insensitive as Matthews’ head is big.
November 7th, 2012 at 11:36 AM

Chris Matthews is too emotional and says dumb things at times. But he knows his shit. Comparing MSNBC to Fox is shallow, because it doesn’t go any further than the fact that MSNBC has a left lean, while Fox has a right fall. The talent on each channel doesn’t even compare. Fox is a clown show.
November 7th, 2012 at 11:48 AM

i’d wager she’d be the one asking me to tuck it back.

I think it was you who pointed out that PA went 53-47 for Obama but Republicans had 13-5 advantage in house race. So how can democrats fight the blatant gerrymandering?

Fox is a clown show.
the anchor last night reminds me of a character from that one Liquid TV show with the plastic-hair people who liked hot rods, and meghan kelly is gross

November 7th, 2012 at 11:56 AM
Nobody gets owned on their own show more than Matthews so “knowing his shit” is debatable at best. Chris Matthews “knows his schtick” is probably more accurate. To be fair, Fox is full of clowns as well so I agree on that point.

THIS.
And that Chris Matthews comments is really fucking stupid. Yeah, he I get what he was probably saying, but he said it in a dumbass manor and didn’t cover his ass well enough, so….
November 7th, 2012 at 12:09 PM
dog-boy was the show
that anchor was a sight, from weird hair to big ears to makeup skin. babar, meghan kelly is blond and skinny and that’s it. she’s too shiny for my liking and especially compared to the competition, even from her own channel
November 7th, 2012 at 12:09 PM
Surprisingly….yes.
November 7th, 2012 at 12:11 PM
so no thoughts about what the storm’s true effect was on the election? i’d be interested to see what you think about that, since it happened just before the election. hard to believe it changed anyone’s minds in the space of a week
November 7th, 2012 at 12:12 PM
Is everyone playing nice today?
Surprisingly….yes.
i just think that 1, it was a rout, and what is there to argue?
2, folks are being adults
November 7th, 2012 at 12:16 PM
Perhaps my favorite part of the whole thing….I mean, I was happy that the guy I voted for won, sure….but I’m not going to troll anyone about it. Well, maybe Karl Rove….
November 7th, 2012 at 12:17 PM
Comparing MSNBC to Fox is shallow, because it doesn’t go any further than the fact that MSNBC has a left lean, while Fox has a right fall.
HA! They are at least equally biased. Everyone pisses and moans about bias in the media, but the problem is, they’re all fucking biased. This is why it’s important to get news from multiple sources. I watch Fox and MSNBC and they are both FULL OF SHIT. Perhaps the truth is somewhere in the middle, but probably not. Thank God for the internet.
November 7th, 2012 at 12:17 PM
Limbaugh only slightly melting down.
November 7th, 2012 at 12:18 PM
Rove trying to convince Fox to take back calling the race for Obama was certainly a highlight of last night.
November 7th, 2012 at 12:19 PM
Eh, neither of those sentences are true. MSNBC is certainly biased but Fox is more activist. It’s almost an extension of the GOP.
Most mainstream media isn’t biased. Reporting facts isn’t bias.
November 7th, 2012 at 12:20 PM
Sorry, stepped away.
I do think the hurricane helped the president a little bit politically — it acted as something of a circuit breaker for Romney’s campaign. Three late days in the campaign were spent focusing on a human crisis rather than the political situation. And the president got a chance to showcase presidential leadership. But I think Obama would have won regardless the way things shook out in terms of the demographics of the electorate.
In terms of surprises, I think the most surprising results were in the Senate and House. Democrats actually added to their majority in the Senate — they’ll have a 55-45 edge now, which is something that no sane person would have expected a year ago given how many seats the Democrats had to defend. And there were some House races where the results were surprising. For example, Jim Matheson (D-UT), who I will now call “the Survivor”, managed to win reelection as a Democrat in Utah in a unfavorably redrawn district and, more importantly, with a Mormon Republican at the top of the ticket winning 73% of the vote. Unbelievable.

November 7th, 2012 at 12:23 PM
No doubt. Really helps that the GOP continues to run the craziest, most unelectable candidates possible in some of these races.
November 7th, 2012 at 12:24 PM
Geoff, the Matheson win is impressive, but I think John Barrow winning by 8 points in Georgia after the Republican controlled legislature redrew his district to take Savannah, his political base and the most liberal section of his old district, away. He remains the sole white Democrat representing a part of the Deep South. The guy is the definition of ‘survivor’.

this is a nice compendium of nbc/msnbc babes, but i think dated

November 7th, 2012 at 12:26 PM
Eh, neither of those sentences are true. MSNBC is certainly biased but Fox is more activist. It’s almost an extension of the GOP.
As a libertarian, I really have no dog in this fight (except I did like when Judge Andrew Napolitano had his own show). HOWEVER, if you think MSNBC reports all the facts, you’re delusional – just as those who think Fox gives the whole story, and is somehow worse than MSNBC. MSNBC had all their pundits doing their election coverage, not hard news people, but Maddow, Matthews, Schultz, Sharpton, O’Donnell, etc. This bunch is just as biased as Fox throwing together their bunch of Republican pundits…
November 7th, 2012 at 12:29 PM
Fox actually threw him under the bus pretty bad. They went into their selection room and they interviewed their decision makers to explain why they called the race. Really made Rove look bad. The anchors were even openly giggling at his plea
November 7th, 2012 at 12:30 PM
I didnt say that. At all. “MSNBC is certainly biased” should have given that away.
What I said was the the mainstream media — of which I do not consider MSBNC a member — isn’t biased.
November 7th, 2012 at 12:31 PM
Difference is I don’t know a single liberal that doesn’t think MSNBC is funny (I’d like to meet the “yeah, speak Truth to me Chris Matthews” person), yet I know many conservatives that unironically drink up Fox’s milkshake. And the ratings bear that out.

I thought NBC was very good last night. I didn’t see any of the “cheerleading” people always talk about. I’ll admit that 4 years ago there was a lot of emotion about the Obama win that many of the journalists allowed to seep in, but this time I saw none of that on any of the networks

Mitt Romney is a business man. He made his money selling ideas, and that is what he spent the last month doing. He was selling to the media that there was this serious momentum building when in fact whatever bump he received from the first debate had long dissipated. There was no momentum for the storm to have wiped out. Obama got 50% of the vote, winning the popular vote, and blew out the battleground states. This didn’t happen because of Sandy.
November 7th, 2012 at 12:38 PM
CNN shudda put Robin Meade on the telecast. Ratings!
November 7th, 2012 at 12:38 PM
Oh, Barrow’s win by that large a margin was surprising. But my organization actually said he’s pull it out in the end, though we wouldn’t have been shocked if he’d lost. But his opponent wasn’t very good, which helped him, though he still ran a strong campaign. His final ad, which somehow appealed to blacks AND highlighted his support by the NRA, is brilliant.
On the other hand, Matheson’s opponent, Mia Love, was a first-tier GOP recruit who, if she had won, would have been an immediate star in the GOP House Caucus as a black female Republican. And with Utah turning in the most Republican performance of any state in the country, Matheson was fighting an incredible uphill battle.

So Utah overwhelmingly voted against the black female? Quite the underdog tale for Matheson

True. Allen West could have been a GOP star if he had been able to keep the crazy under control. And now he might not even be back for the 113th Congress.
November 7th, 2012 at 12:48 PM
Allen West losing was better than Obama being re-elected

He’s down by over 3000 votes with 100 percent reporting. I’m sure he’ll demand a recount but its unlikely he’ll be able to make up that much ground.

My question for Q-Sutherland?
You listen to Rush Limbaugh and simultaneously watch MSNBC, Fox News and Network News, while also counting votes for Florida.
Do you have a job?
November 7th, 2012 at 2:28 PM
Do you have a job?
You meant “What do you do for a living?”
November 7th, 2012 at 2:46 PM
Peerless you phrased it better.
MSNBC, Fox and Networks (I presume he means CNN) have 3 hours of shows per night.
Obviously he DVRs said shows.
That’s 9 hours of news-watching per night.
Add 3 hours listening to Rush Limbaugh and you’re talking about 12 hours per day.
The average person sleeps 8 hours a day, leaving 4 hours for work.
Amended question: What do you do for a living?
