Thom.... Sometimes I think you're just too nice... I want to punch Matthews out just for thinking he's the smartest person in the room.

ON THE CONTRARY!

"a little too effusive on television." And in other news, he's a socialist.

Mathews kept insisting Bernie was a socialist even though Thom corrected him that he was a democratic socialist.

Bernie's been on Thom's show for a good 10 years (and I'm a happy subscriber) and he's ALWAYS said Democratic Socialist. But the Great Chris Matthews knows better. Because because.

Matthews is fascinating to listen to but he's a dillwad. Thom is a good and courteous man.

Matthew's bias against Senator Sanders is clear. I think Matthews should ethically point out in every interview and show that his wife is running for office and is aligned with Hillary Clinton. A fair disclosure.

with Chris <Matthews, 70% of the time he is ok, fairly reasonable, the other 30%, you just want to slap the shit out of him.

The only thing he's good for is to act as a window on what they say after three or four shots of gin at the DC cocktail parties.

He got his start by scolding Bill Clinton for getting a BJ.

He doesn't CARE about the common good or even what's good for the country. He is a sucker for the show. The political theater is all he cares about. His political compass is authoritarian-right. He was a big fan of the neocons, tail hook crotch dances and "Shock and Awe" before he was against them. He wanted Rudy Giuliani to beat Obama and said he hated the Clintons and the "clown car that came with them".

I have found myself screaming at the TV with him on.

That's why I created this:

are all evil socialist countries for providing single payer healthcare and mandatory family leave according to Matthews. They only represent 90% of the modern developed world but let's drop nuclear bombs on them anyways and force them to be like us!
