Chris Matthews is an Idiot

Yesterday on his “Sideshow” segment, Chris Matthews quoted Andrew Card criticizing Obama for having “pounded his chest” a bit too much regarding the termination of Osama bin Laden, and then issued a highly sarcastic rejoinder at both Card and George Bush.

Lest we forget that Old Andy himself was Chief of Staff when President Bush gave the 2003 Iraq victory speech. Remember? The one on the aircraft carrier, in front of the "Mission Accomplished" banner? That war in Iraq is still… now… happening. At least this president waited until he accomplished something before saying that he did.

Beautiful. He now thinks that the aircraft carrier speech was farcical.

I wish I could find some clips of Chris Matthews swooning with admiration on that day in 2003 when the speech occurred. Film clips of him gushing breathlessly about how “manly” and presidential Bush looked in the flight suit, and how overwhelmed he was “at this historic moment.” I wish I could find some film clips of him practically having an orgasm right there on camera as his hero trod the deck of a carrier that was in sight of San Diego but “was too far to reach by helicopter,” necessitating the flight suit and the strutting.
