Chris Matthews On Arlen Specter: He Put On A Dress To Get A Lifeboat Off The Titanic

video
» 68 comments

Easily the most entertaining part of any election night is watching Chris Matthews in anticipation of one of his (now infamous) bon mots. Last night was no exception. While you will likely spend the day reading a slew headlines about how Arlen Specter’s loss in particular signifies that the country has gone completely anti-Washington, and incumbents across the land should be very afraid, and activists and/or Tea Partiers are taking over, Chris Matthews managed to distill the loss down to its most descriptive elements.

Said Matthews as the results were becoming official:

To admit it, to the camera, that you switched parties to save your keister is unacceptable…it reminds me of the guy who puts on the woman’s dress to get in the lifeboat on the Titanic. You don’t look too good in that lifeboat wearing the dress…and that’s the story of this election.

Makes you wish he had a Twitter account, no? Video below.

    Good riddance. He was just another career politician more interested in his own survival. He’s a perfect example of how the neocons and Liberals are pretty much the same.

  • timzank

    That dress/lifeboat comment by Tingles is actually very funny. What’s more funny is most people could picture Chrissy in a dress getting in the lifeboat as well. He’s just that kind of guy.

  • AmericanCowboy

    If you voted for CommieCare – You need to pack your bags.

    If you send the same dopes to Washington, you will get the same results. Vote out all iincumbents. Vote out Democrats.

    Sounds like Matthews might have had his own plan to get off the S.S. msnbc. God knows that ship is going down. Specter just stole Matthews dress.

  • http://gordonbloyershow.com gordonbloyershow

    The Obama ship is sinking and Matthews still doesn’t know it. Poor Chris worked for a drunk liar (Tip O’Neil) and he still defends the clown.

  • libra blue

    The Dems only wanted Specter to get the votes they needed from him. They always planned on throwing him under the bus. Hey, he is 80 years old, he should have been out of there a long time ago.

    Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He- is eight years older than me, lol.

    If I were a regular Republican, I would be more than a bit concerned. It was a wipe out for them last night.

    I enjoyed seeing Rand Paul speaking at a COUNTRY CLUB to a room of ALL WHITE voters. That will make a great ad.

  • The Real Royal King

    Thanks again for repeating the tired old maxim, Cowgirl.

    When are you and your Republican friends going to start attacking the Senate nominee from Pennsylvania? He has a distinguished service career, and you and your ilk always attack and shred veterans running for office.

  • writer

    You mean like the dems attacking the veteran John McCain, King? Yeah, dems never do that.

  • Liberty – Not Redistribution

    What I found funny is Obama’$ support didn’t help any of these Dims. LOL…Blanche could get it without another runoff. An old Specter, Barry’s bro, got the boot as well.

  • proudpatriotusa

    The Real Royal King, spot on as usual.

    The Republican party can’t go the way of the Whigs soon enough.

    Why would any person of a minority group vote Republican unless they’re a self-loather?

    Republicans make a point of alienating minorities of different racial backgrounds, gay people, young people, people that care about the environment, teachers, the middle class, etc, etc.

    Pretty soon the only people supporting the GOP will be white racists in the deep south and red states…their base.

    The King claims to be out traveling the world. Yet he always takes time to post. He claims to be a patriot, but spells America with a ‘k’. He claims to be a white Texan, yet hates and stereotypes white southerners. Anyone seeing any differences between what the King claims and what he posts?

    Chris is just the bets in the biz when it comes to smart, entertaining live TV analysis. He has historical perspective in his head from experience and doesn’t need notes or producers in his ear to tell him what to say.

    And, as the clip above shows, he can be funny, too. No small feat when dealing with what could be a dull night of election returns.

    Race Baiting

    The race baiting currently being perpetrated by the left is designed to stifle intelligent debate. When the left is forced to address facts and logical thought, they NEVER, NEVER, NEVER have a leg to stand. They attempt to change the subject or randomly claim racism for no apparent reason. It is a little like turrets syndrome, racism just pops out of their mouth randomly. America is wise to this. Racism does not carry the meaning it had a year ago.
    Racist is now defined as the following
    rac•ist [rey-sizt]
    -adj
    1. any American who’s beliefs differ from that of the current Communist President’s Administration or his lunatic Liberals followers

    “Race baiting”

    It’s just a fact, not all Republicans are racist but you can bet all racists vote Republican.

    “Racists for Obama” can you even imagine that cowgirl?

    Any any person of a minority group that votes Republican is self-loather, full stop.

    “When the left is forced to address facts and logical thought, they NEVER, NEVER, NEVER have a leg to stand.”

    Your kind or extremist, loony generalizations are exactly the reason why McCain and Palin were elected.

    Btw, Jon address your right-wingnut “generalizations” quite nicely.

    Obama Presides Over Most Jobs Lost Since 1940
    By Julia A. Seymour

    Unemployment shot up in 2009 from 7.7 percent in January to 10.1 percent in October before settling at 10 percent in December. Behind those percentages were more than 4.1 million people who lost their jobs during the year. According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, that’s the most job losses in a year since 1940. (BLS could only provide data from 1940-2009)

    As for the deficit, CBO shows that over the first three years of the Obama Presidency, 2009-2011, the federal government will borrow an estimated $3.7 trillion. THAT IS MORE THAN THE ENTIRE ACCUMULATED NATIONAL DEBT FOR THE FIRST 225 YEARS OF U.S. HISTORY.

    Wingnuts simply aren’t funny and can’t do comedy as they are hardwired without a sense of humor, like being born gay.

    Which also explains how Fox News’ “A Half Hour News Hour” lasted all of 15 brutally unfunny episodes… each show carefully laugh-tracked so to let the audience in on the jokes verses. The Daily Show with 1720+ shows.

    Of course it’s nothing like your former war hero President who was a killing machine in Vietnam.

    http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/funnypictures/ig/100-Funny-Pictures/Bush-Codpiece.htm

    What to speak of right-wing super-patriot Dick “Rambo” Cheney who bravely fought for FIVE deferments.

    Now I’m trying to think of which one of your super-duper patriot right-wing heroes, Glen Beck, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Rielly, Rupert Murdock any of the hundred of am talkers like J.D. Hayworth, actually served… oh that right the answer is NONE.

    You mention JD Hayworth to make your point while omitting the guy he’s running against who did indeed serve and, like him or hate him, John McCain can’t raise his arms above his chest due to his service.

    Yep proud, glad to see you added “Plagarism” Joe Biden in that list, forgot about that phony too I see. Seems to me that there were a lot of guys in the Guard, you dissing them too? Glad your a vet, you know I never heard my WWII Marine(and yes he did see action) father ever tell anybody he was a vet.

  • proudpatriotusa

    Sen. Menendez (D-NJ) is on crack.

    No one that lies about their service record especially if it’s lying about actual combat is going to win anything other than shame.

    Jeff Foxworthy a quick google tells me he specializing in “redneck” jokes, yes?

    I’m not a redneck so I probably wouldn’t get it… unless he’s pointing out how stupid rednecks are, I get that.

    I suspect I’m not going to find what I would call a ” a culturally diverse group” in his audience

    So I stand corrected, there are right-wing comedians but they fill a tiny niche audience appealing to hillbilly white trash or people that laugh at hillbilly white trash.

  • proudpatriotusa

    Rogue-Comic, maybe you’ve been sleeping in a sea of poppies, last time I checked teabaggers HATE John McCain.

  • proudpatriotusa

    “I never heard my WWII Marine(and yes he did see action) father ever tell anybody he was a vet.”

    A lot of those old guys don’t talk to ANYONE outside of fellow soldiers because it’s so difficult for us that have never seen combat to understand their experience.

    My disclosure was in the line of the shame as a vet I would feel if I claimed combat service while having none… terrible.

    Those that actually fought need to be treated with deference and great respect… like heroes, IMHO.

    Sen. Menendez (D-NJ) is on crack.

    Is that because he disproves your idiotic theory and makes you look like a liar… or is it because… well, no I guess it’s just that.

    No one that lies about their service record especially if it’s lying about actual combat is going to win anything other than shame.

    And yet… there he is, and there’s the chair of the Democratic Senatorial Committee proving exactly the opposite of what you said. So sorry.

    Jeff Foxworthy a quick google tells me he specializing in “redneck” jokes, yes?

    You’ve never heard of Foxworthy? Do you live in a cave? As I said, one of the highest grossing comedians of all time. Again, your proven wrong.

    I’m not a redneck so I probably wouldn’t get it… unless he’s pointing out how stupid rednecks are, I get that.

    Oh, I see… when you were talking about comedians… you wanted comedians that YOU like. In other words, there are no conservative comedians that YOU like, and therefore, they don’t exist. What a shallow and egotistical existence you must have.

    I suspect I’m not going to find what I would call a ” a culturally diverse group” in his audience

    And again, you’d be wrong. He currently hosts, “Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader,” and his previous 3 or 4 movies (Blue Collar Comedy Tour) were HUGE successes. But I guess making stuff up serves your purpose… you believe it because you said it, even though you have no facts to back it up. Pathetic.

    So I stand corrected, there are right-wing comedians but they fill a tiny niche audience appealing to hillbilly white trash or people that laugh at hillbilly white trash.

    Racist. This statement proves you’re a racist. Congrats!

    Again, a lie. Many tea-partiers (hey, you used the teabagger joke too! AWESOME! I’ve never seen that before! You’re clearly a comedy pioneer!) dislike McCain for his opinions… but respect his service, and feel he is a respectable and patriotic American. That’s vastly different than the Democrats and Liberals who made jokes about his war record all through the 2008 campaign.
