(The last Youtube thread seems to be long-dead.)
Over here [is some](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YK0d8ENS__c) radio talk-show host, a local guy, being destroyed by Chris Matthews on Hardball. (I thought he himself was a right-wing person.) Television would be much more fun if we had more tough questioning of loud (I mean LOUD) foolish people.

Oh, yeah. Daily Kos had that up yesterday. Lots of fun. The guy obviously knows nothing other than what is on the Official Daily Pubbie [del]Talking[/del]Shouting Points Memo. No clue at all about what he is saying.
The fun begins about 4 minutes into the clip.

Holy, holy, holy shit. WTF. Is this for real? Is this some spin-off of the Onion?

I’ve always considered Matthews to be kind of a tool, but that was fun to watch. Matthews at the end starting to plug “The Sideshow”, and stopping to declare, “I think we just had the sideshow” was brilliant. I also liked him spitting out, “This is pathetic.” Good stuff.

I tried, o lordy how I tried to watch the whole clip, but I just cannot abide that hollering.

I suppose if you had a reputation for that sort of thing, nobody would come on our show. What is the guy’s name? I would like to visit his website.

Chris Matthews is slightly liberal-centrist from my perspective. And he made that guy his biotch last night. That was fun!

Man, the Dope is really buzzing about this Hardball thing today. I’ll have to watch at lunch. Meanwhile, since this is a TV show thread I’m going to put it in Cafe Society.

Does that guy always yell like that, instead of talking? Wouldn’t that hurt your voice eventually?
Breakfast at his house must be a treat. “PASS THE SALT PLEASE! I THINK I’LL TAKE THE CAR IN THIS MORNING FOR AN OIL CHANGE! I MIGHT HAVE THEM LOOK AT THE TRANSMISSION, IT’S BEEN SHIFTING FUNNY! CAN YOU PASS THE SPORTS PAGE? HEY, THE DODGERS WON! HERE’S THE ORANGE JUICE!”

I’ve been steaming mad at Matthews for whoring Hillary until very recently, but I must say he has redeemed himself.

Come to think of it, I’d like to hear the guy’s radio show today. The desperate spin may affect the earth’s rotation.

I like the part where Matthews asks the radio guy why he’s screaming. Uh, Chris? Have you ever listened to yourself?

If I might make an American Idol reference here, he really sounded like a chihuahua trying to be a tiger.

Funny thing about that is Chris Matthews seems to barely be able to speak himself. He always sounds to me like he’s either had a series of small strokes or is a goodly way through a bottle of Jack.

Dude couldn’t even spit out “Peace in our time”! What a maroon.
And yet, the motherfucker no doubt makes a hell of a lot more money than I do.
