Chris Matthews: From Leg Tingle to ‘Pluperfect’
by Greg GutfeldSo here are some poll numbers that should scare the low-waisted chaps off Democrats. By a 50-42 margin, Ohio voters say they’d rather have George W. Bush as President right now than Barack Obama. Also, among voters in Gallup weekly tracking of 2010 congressional preferences, Republicans lead by 51% to 41%. That lead is the largest since Gallup started tracking the stuff in the early 1500’s!
Now, there’s a reason Bush looks good, but it has less to do with the man, than the media. Think about it: “back then,” you didn’t have reporters calling you a dumb racist every time you ragged on the President! What makes Obama unpopular? For one: you can’t disagree with him, without being called something bad.
Check out Chris Matthews, the tingling mess who cannot fathom why no one is happy with Mr. Wonderful.
Okay..where to start…
First, people can admire Obama and still disagree with his policies. I think he’s a decent guy, and the best liberal president I’ve seen. But I also can’t stand him because he is the best liberal president I’ve seen. Matthews can’t see that it’s about ideology, not race. Maybe he’s the bigot!
Look, concerning his unpopularity, Obama is the least surprised of all. He planned to lose friends from the start. What makes him smarter than Matthews: he knew America would hate his agenda.
But the biggest fallacy in Chris’s whine: that it’s worse to make money than to community organize. How fun is it that while Matthews denigrates capitalists – he makes wads of cash denigrating capitalists!
Fact is, financial motives help way more people than community work – which is often just political resume building anyway. Bill Gates has done way more for the poor than Obama will ever do – and he did it by pursuing his interests, not theirs.
And if you disagree with me, you’re a racist homophobe who should give me a back rub, but won’t.
Mike Baker!
Brooke Goldstein!

Barack Obama likes to play make believe. He wants you to make believe the color of his skin matters. As he has moved down the road and tried over and over to use racism as his shield against anyone that disagrees with him he has learned that people really don’t like his policies. Now, even black, brown, yellow, pink and green people are discovering the ‘real Obama’ and disagree with his march to socialism. I think a lot of people have figured out that if you just vote for a candidate because he’s a minority, the level of racism complaints doesn’t go away it increases. People like Obama have always used skin color as a shield when things don’t go their way. Obama will be remembered as the president that cried ‘wolf” (racist) so often that it became meaningless to most people. He’s starting to find out the content or lack of content of character, in Obama’s case, is starting to mean way more than skin color.
Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin. Translation: They're goin' down!
Wait, what? The POTUS is pluperfect? What is Chris smoking?
guys like Matthews or Olbermann (Who makes SEVEN million a year!)…
They think that this money is a birthright; they are part of the educated elite and they are simply getting what's coming to them. Breathtakingly arrogant? Or completely clueless?
Let's just say a combination (a deadly one, too) of both. Whereas Rush Limbaugh, the happy warrior, makes no bones about his capitalistic shamelessness- it IS a big part of his appeal- these guys are the conflicted liberals who believe in 'redistributive' policies.
So long as it doesn't come out of THEIR pockets.
One more thing- and this is to Mr Gutfeld- Do you realize that more people are reading about him on this site than actually WATCHING his program?
Maybe he should get a royalty check…
I only have high-waisted chaps. That confirms I'm not a liberal. Excellent. I was beginning to worry a bit.
I love multiple choice. Let's see: Breathtakingly arrogant? Or completely clueless?
I'm going to have to go with C, all of the above.
And in the words of Obama, "I do think at a certain point you've made enough money" (Apr 29, 2010) Well, at least in their case.
"That lead is the largest since Gallup started tracking the stuff in the early 1500’s!"
I had no idea Gallup came over with Columbus.
that was a revelatory moment from Obama, wasn't it?…
Wonder if when fund raising amongst Steve Bing and Peter Lewis and Steve Jobs and Bill Gates he told them that ' at a certain point you've made enough money'.
What possibly could 'that point' be? $70 billion?
Or $250,000?…
Of course. The Numba, the Polla and the Santa Statistica.
well, if the policies don't work, call everyone a racist, and keep screwing the public, and call them racist again. i think that is the official obama policy. i sure hope we don't have that hurricane washup on shore, obama will show unlike the chocolate mayor, he is the chocolate president. he couldn't handle a oil spill, he better hope for luck on the hurricane.
Personally, I would say Obama is the worst liberal president I've seen (although the only ones I've seen ever are him, both Bushes, and Clinton). I mean, I thought one of your goals as an ideologue was to pull people over to your side. Don't exactly see that happening right now…
Weighed and found wanting, indeed…
I don't think this douche should ever be on this website again. He is irrelevent and about to become even more so. Nothing personal, but he is the lowest rated news show on the lowest rated news channel and is almost too easy a target. Most likely, more people will see him on this website that will see his show, so why not marginalize him and relieve him from our national consciousness for good. Honestly, if great sites like this stop showing his deranged grill, the majority of the nation's population will simply never see him again.
Greg, always remember that he is not a decent guy. He would just as soon see anyone who doesn't worship him dead as not. We are the enemy to him, to be beaten and destroyed. Never forget that, liberals are not good people who happen to believe differently from you. They are bad people who want to destroy this country.
Oh yeah, their first ever poll was, "If the battle for the North American continent were held today, who would you support as your arbitrary overlords, the Spanish or the Aztecs?" 58% of Indians polled said the Aztecs, 37% said the Spanish, 3% were undecided, and 2% wanted to know why they were being polled in a language they couldn't understand. Because of this, some now think the poll was rigged, if by "some" you mean "the three Peruvian migrant workers locked in my basement."
How long will it take our liberal bretheren to understand that their time has come and gone?
For some reason, all this thinking about Matthews conjured up the scenes in a South Park episode where the characters were crapping out of their mouths. Intro-Rectal Gestion.
Chrissy & MSNBC both yesterdays news.
How much longer can they hold on ?
Greg's RED EYE at 1 AM probably has more viewers that Chrissy does in prime time.
Actually the big lie is that Obama didn't make money as a 'community organizer'. He was a well-paid lawyer, particularly considering that he NEVER DID ANYTHING OF NOTE during his time at Harvard or as a lawyer (or as a Senator, or as a President …)
And what does 'almost pluperfect' mean? If pluperfect is more than perfect, almost pluperfect would be just perfect, right? Reminds me of a line from 'The Money Pit' – "You're almost late!" "Yeah, well we have a term for almost late – 'on time'".
*Obama was an excellent student? How would Matthews know that? We've never seen his college transcripts.
*Obama obeyed the law? Oh, yeah except for the cocaine. He just never got caught.
*He took care of his family? Tell that to his brother in Kenya.
I bought a pluperfect yesterday and it didn't work!! Stupid me!!!
according to nielson it does
Chris Mathews is a sycophant! His job should be to follow Obama around all day long throwing rose pedals at his feet! He does it everyday on MSNBC anyway, might as well make it official!
Stupid is as stupid does
"Big-Bully-Bowling-Ball-Head", Chris Matthews' career, is in the Gutter.
He's been jilted by his Boy-Toy in the White House
and his world is falling apart…
That TIRADE was his cheap, "Howard Beale" moment—
What an embarrassing, pathetic outburst !
Seriously—
he is in need of professional help.
So THIS is what journalism has reduced itself to. Reporters screaming on the air that we're all a bunch of dumb asses because we can't see what a 'pluperfect' President we have.
Thanks, Chris. I don't like you either.
It doesn't work? But the infomercial is so compelling. Damn, I was gonna get a couple next pay. Thanks for the heads up
Is it my imagination, but the older Chris Matthews gets, the more he is morphing into Tip O'Neill……..
Thank You, Sir.
Oh, that is awesome! Good stuff!
Chris….IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID!!!
Chrissy…..
IT'S THE CONSTITUTION STUPID!

I bought a pluperfect and accidentally the whole thing. Is this bad?
This…this is made of win.
Thank you ma'am.
And I didn't even mention ACORN's purported intervention in the ballot counting. Something about extra ballots discovered from people who had already been offered to the gods, if by "offered to the gods" you mean…well, that one should be self-explanatory.
I wonder how Matthews and Olbermann feel about that.
I'm sorry. It seems to be a reflex from some conservatives to say that Barak is a "decent guy." Remeber, he voted four times against the "born alive infant protection act," which would have mandated giving life saving medical aid to babies that survived an abortion. He voted against this four times. Please. Let's think about that before we call him a decent guy. Sure, he is not a monster, but decent. I think not.
The real racists are the people who view everything as being about race! People like Chris Matthews.
Race-obsessed IS racist!
$5.7 million. That's Obama's declared income, mostly from book royalties, last year. Once the amount goes higher, he'll raise that "enough" figure.
Why wasn't this on Big Journalism instead?
What do you expect from a pluidiot…..
HA HA! LOL! You are on a roll!
I chalk it up to too much education and too little to keep me occupied. I could probably come up with something about Jeremiah Wright and the Aztec high priests, but I'll stop while I'm ahead.
Because nobody really believes Matthews is a serious journalist. He is more of a comedian;)
Obama is also not a 'smart guy.'
When Dennis Miller was on last week he caught Greg saying, "Look, Obama's a smart guy but,…" Miller said, ya know, I'm not so sure he's a smart guy anymore.
BINGO
Being that the Aztecs are the home team I would likely take them giving 7 points, and the over. But my gambling history shows that I would be wrong, yet again.
BTW you're on a roll today, been loving your posts. Keep up the good work!
LOL! I could see you getting into a bit of trouble! I like it!
Obama is NOT an American…. He can produce NO birth certificate. …. His whole life is a LIE…. He has a false Social Security Number….. from Conneticut….. Obama was living in Hawaii…. He could not be issued a Number in Hawaii without a Hawaiian Birth Certificate….. He was clearly born outside of the United States…. no birth certificate…. and a false social security number…. Stop being ''nice'' to this clown… His Administration is ILLEGAL…. He is an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT… As Don King would say… ''Only In America'''.. A KENYAN in the Highest Office in the Land..
just looking at the left wing bigot makes me wanna hunt him down and mock him publicly for being so damn stupid.
Makes you wonder if Matthews has an Obama shrine in his bedroom.
I have a question that has been bothering me for a long time. Drudge has regularly posted this info for a long time. Every time I see this I wonder who actually does the compiling? And if it isn't actually worse for number 7 on down.
Thanks. Usually I'm not that on the ball, but what can I say? I guess I'm just having a good day.
Are you too young to remember Jimmay Carter?! Lucky you!!!
Exactly! I've made this comment myself! But I disagree about the monster part. Anyone who supports this is a monster. And any doctor or medical staff that allows this rivals Mengele.
"Community Organizing" is not resume building, it's Mafia shakedown. I count it a huge negative, and his immaculation in the Presidency was the coming of the Mafia to the White House. Nothing benign and nothing to admire in this thug, he is all bad. Uriah Heep is the kindest persona I would consider ascribing to him.
Voting against the born alive act does make him a monster, up there with Herod.
The pluperfect is a grammatical construction used to refer to an event that had been completed before another action that happened in the past– before I ran out of gas I stopped to pick up a pack of cigs. It has nothing to do with a person's behavior or qualities.
Did Chris Matthews just get the word-of-the-day from an old re-run of Pee-Wee's Playhouse and mis-use it? "Oh, Obama, he's not just perfect, he's…<what was that word?>…pluperfect! He's proto-perfect! My leg is tingling again."
As Bugs used to say, what an ultra-maroon.
This is the kind of honest reporting we have come to expect from MSNBC. Remember how Bush had horns and a tail?
You took the words right out of my mouth!
And to add to your first point, the faculty and professors at the Chicago Law School hated Obama "because he was lazy, unqualified, never attended any of the faculty meetings, and it was clear that the position was nothing more than a political stepping stool”.
Also, "President Barack Obama, former editor of the Harvard Law Review, is no longer a “lawyer”. He surrendered his license back in 2008 possibly to escape charges that he “fibbed” on his bar application. …"

I think the MSM is just pissed that so many of the American people arent buying what the MSM is selling.
I think Baghdad Bob had better numbers.
Hard to believe that mouth foamer Ølbermann is leading that pack of dingbats at MSNBC.
"Pluperfect" – looked it up in my 1958 edition of the American College Dictionary; it's a freakin' grammatical term! "perfect with respect to a temporal point of reference in the past. Example: In 'He had done it when I came,' had done is pluperfect (completed action) in relation to came". I think that Chris just pulled out this nice-sounding word that doesn't mean what he thought it did.
He didn't just vote against it, he stood up on the Senate floor and spoke in favor of banning it. The man actually advocated murdering babies after they'd already been born.
"Ball Park Franks": they pluperfect when you cook 'em.
Add to that his sense of entitlement, his twisting of history to suit his narrative, his frequent finger-pointing and denigrating others who don't agree with him – this is not a decent guy.
Yep, but don't congratulate me too much. Memories of this era will stick with me for a long time.
Well played, well played.
Chrissy Mathews has a love affair going on in his head with Obama, What a complete idiot this guy is.
Yea but then his nose would become brown.
Tingles is almost halfway behind Mr. Maddow?! Who would thunk.
Of course, the farther away from Maddow, the better!
they think they have 'special dispensation' from The One…
Thenkyuh. Thenkyuh verra much. /Elvis
Olbermann makes 7 million a year? Man I am in the wrong profession. I mean the man is a loser with ratings in the toilet and he is getting rich.
I'd hoped that the use of "Pluperfect" would be a reference to the pluperfect tense thanks to four years of studying Latin. I was sorely disappointed.
Tingles and Barry need to get a room!
I find it very interesting that Chris defined America, as just like in Gatsby a person can create their own identity. Was that slip of the tingling tongue. Has he even read Gatsby. Its been several years, but if I recall Gatsby was a fraud. He was not who he appeared to be. So Chris is saying that Obama is like Gatsby, a fraud. He claims that Obama was a good student. How does Chris, the alleged journalist, know that Obama was a good student. Has he, unlike the rest of us, actually seen Obama's transcript from Occidental College, Columbia or Harvard Law School. Chris reveals in his choice of comparison between Obama and Gatsby, that something is not adding up, that perhaps not all is at it appears. Perhaps Obama, like Gatsby, surrounded himself by expensive books to give the appearance of intelligence, but in reality, just like Gatsby, Obama has never actually read any of those books. Perhaps, Chris is having a Nick moment in Gatsby's library, when he realizes it is all a fraud and a deception. Chris, rather than admit he has been deceived, would rather blame others who stand and vocally declare this emperor has no clothes. Does anyone else think its funny to compare Obama to Gatsby?
Was Chris trying to say plum perfect? Maybe there was a typo on his teleprompter.
A better comparison would have been "Gumby"…..
Matthews. .. .. .. should wear a hockey mask… .. .. during his ''broadcast''… He is truely a frightening man.. ..
I think he was using defintion 2, from Dictionary.com:
"2. more than perfect: He spoke the language with pluperfect precision."
But yeah, he clearly chose the word just to sound smart, but used it wrong. Like people who say "I could care less".
the left takes care of their own- for now… And he is a spokesman for The Narrative. As such, the economics don't really matter. Look- they are robbing us blind now, anyway- and 'redistributing' our income. So, in that sense they are taking from, say Rush- to give to 'Groucho' Olbermann…
"Bill Gates has done way more for the poor than Obama will ever do – and he did it by pursuing his interests, not theirs."
Much too sophisticated an argument for your typical reactionary leftist.
Lots of bitter clingers out there.
Oh, shut up.
This poll is racist! It must be! It has to be! An old white dude must have conducted it! A conspiracy by the cable providers not allowing people to watch the unbiased chanels! /
That's some numbers. Sad.
I think you are absolutely right Chester. He has at best average intelligence and that's enough to do well when combined with affirmative action and a sociopaths ability to say what other people want to hear.
Actually, he's more Bo's Garcon' de Puis…
Indeed… He's Gumby Dammit!
"And if you disagree with me, you’re a racist homophobe who should give me a back rub, but won’t."
Ok Greg ok… I dont disagree with you, but if you need a backrup that bad, I'll go get the lotion. But I will not, and I repeat, WILL NOT tingle over your leg. There are some things even I wont do.
Maybe in Order to become more popular the way Bush i currently is, Obama is going to have to start two more wars, kill hundreds of thousands, waste trillions and give trillion dollar tax cut to his rich friends and also instead of starting a recession just let is continue the way Bush left if. along with Bush's massive job losses.
I wish people would stop analyzing him the way you would the usual politician this country has been used to dealing with. This guy has Communistic ties through the relationships of his parents and, when they dumped him, his grandparents. He was raised in a different cultural environment than that of an American citizen. He was raised to believe the United States is evil and the cause of the world's prolblems. His backing is from George Soros, that has used his influence of power and money to open doors that no "average" American could dream of. He was placed on the staff at Harvard in the face of the objections and rejection of his resume and qualifications by the departments' own faculty.
When are people going to realize that we are watching a well planned, well timed, takeover of our country that has been in the works since the begiining of the last century? Our own politicians, whether they were part of the inside plan or not, helped to create this monstrosity through their own greed and the mentality of "DO ANYTHING" to stay in power.
The only way to have half a chance at winnng against this takeover is to demand the start of the Impeachment process and totally discredit ANYONE – Politician, White House Staff, Lobbyist – that is associated with Obama so they can never again be involved our government.
I really like that translation!!!!
No this administration is forcing it's point of view down our throats. Not old enough to remember Carter. I think this era will be worse than Carter, although that was exceedingly bad. I'm considering a lawsuit against this administration for PTSD after he leaves office.
I agree with the other responders–I think he's a monster clothed in nice clothes, and a seemingly "easy going" persona. He's lying out of both his faces about everything. If we keep this in mind when we hear him blather on about any subject, we'll have him in the proper perspective. I don't trust him.
Is it just me or has Chris Matthews aged about 50 years since the start of this debacle in WA DC?
CHRIS!! Release the hate and bitterness! You'll look better!
Chris Mathews, the pluperfect jack arse!
Mike, and do you notice how he explains, what passes for, policy in forum settings? His explanations are simplistic and in child-like terms. It sounds like he speaks this way not for us dummie's benefit but for his ability.
I think he stands a pretty good chance of being that guy who lost by a land slide nearly as big as a Reagan's.
