The Sliming of Sarah Palin

Not that she wouldn’t look good in slime, don’t you think? The glistening, the sinewy writhing…

Huh?

Anyway…

Let’s watch the whitest person in America tell us that there’s nothing wrong with people who happen to be white turn out for a politician who happens to be a white woman—while all the while implying that she’s Hitler at Nuremberg, in drag.

“A pretty white crowd… monochromatic… a tribal aspect… white versus other people.”

That’s pretty astute commentary, Comrade Chris. Were you as insightful at this Obama campaign rally?

“I never thought this day would ever happen. I won’t have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won’t have to worry about paying my mortgage. You know. If I help [Obama], he’s gonna help me.”

What color is this crowd, Chris? Chris?

As for his twisting of the word “profiling”, only a person with significant brain damage could contort her answer about Major Nidal Hasan into an endorsement of all racial profiling. What’s funny is that she predicts the left’s outrage and misrepresentation, and Chris willingly complies.

Doing Jobs Journalists Won’t Do

Does he charge by the hour, or by the lewd act?

Chris Matthews is Chief Propagandist for the Obama administration:

[Chris] Matthews says he sees his job as a journalist as doing everything he can to make the Obama presidency a success. Appearing on Morning Joe today, Matthews was reluctant to criticize Rahm Emanuel’s kabuki dance over accepting Obama’s offer to be chief of staff. The Hardball host was equally unwilling to see the Emanuel episode as evidence of a lack of planning and discipline in the nascent Obama administration. Matthews eventually explained why.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Yeah, well, you know what? I want to do everything I can to make this thing work, this new presidency work, and I think that –

JOE SCARBOROUGH: Is that your job? You just talked about being a journalist!

MATTHEWS: Yeah, it is my job. My job is to help this country.

SCARBOROUGH: Your job is the make this presidency work?

MATTHEWS: To make this work successfully. This country needs a successful presidency.

Forget my opposition to the Fairness Doctrine. We need it yesterday.

How Sleazy Is Chris Matthews?

He interviewed his own daughter on camera and pretended she was an ordinary college student

Viewers had no idea.

But that wasn’t a set-up, right? That’s part of The Integrity Of The Profession Of Journalism.

On Friday’s “Hardball,” Chris Matthews interviewed a number of student members of the group Concerned Youth of America.

One of those students — Caroline — is his daughter, a student at the University of Pennsylvania. Did Matthews disclose that fact as he interviewed her?

Not so much.

One tipster tells FishbowlDC that “Matthews, at the asking of his daughter, instructed the producers not to name her.”

Here is what Matthews asked his daughter, and how she answered (bolds are mine):

Chris Matthews: And what happens after the bailout. (The national debt is) $11 trillion, right?

Caroline Matthews: If you keep on spending like this, our generation, in like 20 to 30 years, the debt will get to like 53 trillion dollars.

(at the 1:00 mark)

Chris Matthews: How come politicians don’t talk about this?

Caroline Mathews (away from camera, causing Chris Matthews and cameraman to hastily move to her): Because people aren’t - because it’s not an attractive issue. People want to say - Politicians worry about being voted for, and you know, the people want taxes to be cut, and they want entitlement programs. And that’s how a politician gets elected. They’re not going to get elected by saying we’re going to have to make sacrifices, which is what we’re going to have to do.

We all know that journalists are fair and balanced and only want to get the voice of the ordinary person out there, right? Because they would never try to influence the debate, right?

Give me a used car salesman any day. They smell better.
