Chris Matthews retires

[RPM 26227]

Guess he couldn't take the smack John Oliver laid down last night.

 

[Stilicho 1397]

I think the Jaime Harrison / Tim Scott foul up was his coffin nail.

[gmr548 16512]

Retired like Mack Brown retired.

He may have been wrong, but if he is being forced out because of the comments reported in the GQ article then that is way overboard from MSNBC.   

Did you read the articles? 

Warning - Matthews' workplace behavior will get you fired. Don't do it.

Seeing some "Sark after Dark" kinda chatter too.

But good riddance to that braying man-goose. He can go to Fox and be a pet Liberal / useful idiot like Colmes and Geraldo and the harassment vibe is probably a little more chill there, even today.

I'm rubbing my thumb and index finger together and wondering if anyone can hear the world's smallest violin playing.

Philly. Them and Baltimoreans talk like they've got a mouthful of Chesapeake mud.

Complete side note. It cracks me up when people who know better go around saying that there's only five or ten distinct accents in America. There's Philly, Baltimore, Jesey, Outer Banks, several different ones in NYC, Boston, rural New England, Tidewater Virginia, over-mountain Virginia, North Carolina with those weird O's, Charleston,  Gullah (maybe more a dialect or a pidgin), and Savannah, all on the East Coast alone. And I am sure I am missing a few

Who was better at playing Matthews, Hammond or Sudeikis?

No way in hell someone who has spent the last 25 years of his life analyzing politics and elections "retires" the night before Super Tuesday in the primaries.  He got Olbermanned.

No network would have the balls to do it but a Crossfire type of show featuring Mattthews and O'Reilly would kill in the ratings.  I would also bet that if those two were put in a neutral (non MSNBC/Fox) environment they would be in agreement more often than people on either the left or the right would think they would be.

I doubt it.

1.) America doesn’t want to watch their sauced up perve father / grandfather argue with his creepily aggressive sexist frenemy 

2.) What’s a neutral network?

3.) The things they would agree upon are no longer acceptable. That’s the crazy thing about getting old. If you agree with other old people about any subject... you’re automatically wrong. If other olds hold your ideas in contempt, you’re still with it.

Luby’s is a great lunch spot? Wrong.

Dinner is at 4:30? Wrong.

The good ole days were good? Wrong.

Donald Trump should be / is a great President. GTFO

James Adomian has him down pat. 

[Nice Guy Eddie 13412]

I’m Not a regular viewer at all so was unaware of these problems. Sad that he’s made unfortunate comments but I haven’t seen anything reported that puts him in the camp of a Charlie Rose.

Whether some like it or not, you shouldn’t flirt with someone in a professional environment. Might be harmless intent from the person making the comments but the other party doesn’t know that.  And a younger woman really doesn’t want the old guy flirting with her anyway.

It wouldn’t surprise anyone on the left,  because we know Matthews is a conservative.

You forgot the air quotes around "retired".

Fuck that guy.  He’s always sucked. 
 

I don’t like political tv to begin with, but Matthews was guaranteed to get a loud “Change the fucking channel already”
