I wasn't the only one who watched Matthews. I just read his viewership is 471,000 to O'Reilly's 2.4 Million. Maybe that is why he is acting like a punk. :>)

Why Would Anyone Sign Up For This?
For anyone who didn't watch the Chris Matthews "interview" of John O'Neill Thursday, one of the most damning parts of it (damning for Matthews, that is) was when Matthews accused O'Neill of being a Texas Republican. O'Neill said he was not. Matthews asked where he lived. When Matthews nailed him for being from Texas, O'Neill pointed out that he has not voted Republican since 1988. He voted for Perot twice and then for Gore. Yes, O'Neill voted for Al Gore over George Bush. After that little gem came out, Chris Matthews said he didn't really care who anyone voted for. HA! How on earth can what happened on Hardball tonight be described as any form of journalism? I love that MSNBC makes transcripts available free online for a week after the shows run. I will post a link to it tomorrow when it is available.
By the way, Matthews' parting words, a dig at George Bush for not doing anything in Vietnam, were just childish. Hey, Matthews, George Bush isn't running on his record in Vietnam, Kerry is.
John O'Neill is not making a dime off of this book. He is not a Republican operative. He didn't even vote for George W. Bush, and actually voted against him. So most all of the attacks on Mr. O'Neill's motives are completely bogus, yet so-called journalists continue to misrepresent O'Neill's background. They continue to allow Kerry supporters to misrepresent O'Neill's background. They are rude and belligerent. The fact that these Swiftvets feel strongly enough about Kerry's "unfitness" to be Commmander in Chief that they would put up with this stuff gives them more credibility in my mind than Kerry's band-of-brothers who have been flown around the country, wined and dined, put up in 5-star hotels and celebrated by the media. |
