Before you ask, Chris Matthews did not include any of his own bon mots in this list, I assume because technically he is not a politician. Nor did he include any words of wisdom from Sarah Palin. Instead, it would appear Matthews was inspired to make the list following this week’s political bumbles, including Blumenthal and Rand Paul, and especially Arlen Specter’s loss in Pennsylvania, which Matthews attributed to Specter admitting he was merely switching parties in order to win. That statement came in at number ten on Matthews’ list.

Other missteps that made the list: John Kerry’s “I voted for it before I voted against it’; George Allen’s ‘Maccaca’ moment; and Barack Obama’s “they get bitter and cling to guns” remark. None of these hit the number one spot, however — anyone care to take a guess on the dumbest political statement ever? Answer in the video below.

Arlen Specter, barack obama, Chris Matthews, Rand Paul, Richard Blumenthal

Chris…………..you are at the top of the list all time with your “tingley” BS!

Seems the left wing loons have lowered the bar for “their” type of elected officials that it it is now becoming the biggest joke in the world where everyone is now laughing!

Here is the video of Mr. Transparency, Barack Obama and his seven lies told in 2 minutes. This the “Change” that the left wing progressives wanted and what America is getting.

America! We are in TROUBLE!

Here is a sample of what the left wing loons are made up of and their knowledge of government. Obama and his socialist/Marxist minions are playing these people for votes and support. Pathetic isn’t it?

Typical MSNBC. Snide commentary on various gotcha moments, accompanied by a complete whitewash on the track record of the current administration.

It is obvious you didn’t actually watch the video, Felix. Please stop failing so dang hard, and if you did, name all ten of them. Go on… in fact, name number one. And please stop bitching about things that aren’t even true, most of which you don’t even have enough of a mental capacity to come up with yourself (Hence, why you frequent Free Republic and WorldNetDaily).

Matthews is so sexist to ignore women politicians entirely. Sarah Palin has given us so many priceless statements and Hillary Clinton’s Bosnian adventures are surely worth a rerun.

Matthews was fair though…this list could’ve easily been filled with only George W. Bush statements.

I can’t believe Ole Billy didn’t make it up there with Monica.

Matthews didn’t mention Carter’s “malaise” speech either. Maybe that’s because Matthews probably wrote it.

He needs to do a top ten list of Obama’s broken campaign promises.

It’s real handy that the “Top 10 Stupid Political Statements of All Time” all happened during the video era and Chris Matthews’ lifetime because you know, history only started last week.

I was disappointed that “we’re going to fundamentally change America” didn’t make it to number one–with a bullet!

LOL…I guess someone deleted my post where I pointed out that Obama claimed that there were 57 states. You delete these posts, but not the repetitive marketing by people trying to sale shoes. Way to go mediaite.

And yes Obama did claim that he had visited 57 states during the campaign.
