Your Liberal Media At Work

Chris Matthews fawns over John McCain, after the less-than-straight talker's New Hampshire victory.

MATTHEWS: Good evening. I'm Chris Matthews. Welcome to Hardball, tonight from NBC News headquarters in New York. This is the night, the night that could be the beginning of the end of a front-runner's presidential candidacy, a night that could turn a movement -- or turn a moment, rather, into a movement, a night when a maverick Republican could rise from the ashes to claim victory, a night when conventional wisdom crumbles and change becomes the touchstone for this country. Tonight is the night of the New Hampshire primary.

Matthews is a card carrying member of the liberal media. I'm sure he will lavish greater praise on Hillary Clinton.

Matthews: I think the Hillary appeal has always been somewhat about her mix of toughness ans ympathy for her.

Let's not forget and I'll be brutal. The reason she's a U.S. Senator, the reason she's a candidate for President, the reason she may be a front-runner, is her husband messed around. That's how she got to be Senator from New York. We keep forgetting it. She didn't win it on the merits. She won because everybody felt "My god, this woman stood up under humilation..."

Curse the liberal media for making a Democrat look better!

Cue video.



Update: Matthews fired off this 2005 missive at Hillary. Matthews described Clinton as "witchy" for criticizing President Bush's Homeland Security spending priorities.

MATTHEWS: I hate to say this. I'm not going to hate to say it. It's a fact. You [Clinton] look more witchy when you're doing it like this.

I'm skeptical that someone whom publicly hit on co-worker Erin Burnett is trouble by calling Hillary a witch.
