Unlike Rep. Bachmann, Chris Matthews’ ‘Super Ego’ Tells Him When He’s ‘Making An Ass’ Of Himself

Rep. Michele Bachmann sure is starting to act like a presidential candidate, and while she has many followers among conservatives, much of the left wing is in stitches over her attempt to garner attention. In a segment marked by stifled laughter, Chris Matthews, Joan Walsh, and Richard Wolff tried to make sense of what she was up to, and Matthews could only conclude that she had no filter which warned her when she was “being an ass.”

Rep. Bachmann has been going around the country and rallying supporters with no official word that she is interested in the presidency. And, yet, she has decided to rebut President Obama’s State of the Union address on Tuesday– despite Republicans already choosing Rep. Paul Ryan to do the same in an official capacity. To Matthews, this indicated that she was saying, “If Sarah Palin doesnt run, I will. I’m there.” Walsh seemed to agree that this was her message, though found it to also be a personal defiance of Rep. Ryan, who had clashed with the Tea Party movement in the past. Matthews, however, couldn’t get over the fact that she was defying someone of seniority and looking like a presidential candidate. “We,” he said to his panel, “have super egos. We have that thing that Freud says, says ‘slow down, stop it, you’re making an ass of yourself.’” He continued opening this can of worms by noting that “these people dont have that thing… she just runs for president without having any pretense.” The rebuttal from the right can’t be long in the making.

Matthews also read an excerpt of her speech, which had already been released to the press, and mocked it for being “grandiloquent” and making her “sound like she’s, what, Thomas Paine?”

If it’s telling him, he must be ignoring it.

Evidently you could use a stronger super-ego.

The shameless promotion of anti intellectual know nothings by the media (Mediaite especially) is baffling until you realize that dumb politicians make for good copy. The writer of this article is somehow offended that Chris Matthews doesn’t take Michelle Bachmann seriously??? Really, I wish the media would do it’s job better and rifle out some of these know nothing pols. and expose them for the idiots they are. Instead you guys defend them and make it seem like half way intelligent people are beating up on them. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. Cause i know in the news rooms you guys laugh at these idiots like everyone else (besides the know nothing teabaggers who follow them).

“We,” he said to his panel, “have super egos. We have that thing that Freud says, says ’slow down, stop it, you’re making an ass of yourself.’”

KING/SARAHP. , on the couch . That ‘ s it ! Armwood and I are missing our super-egos ! It took this snickering group of fellow boobs to have Army and I realize how foolish we are ! Oh happy day !

Matthews has the lowest ratings on MSNBC and yet he has the nerve to make comments like he is number one. What a fool. He used to be the chief liar for Tip O’Neil.

KING/SARAHP. , together again . There ‘s Robert and there’s SarahP. We are always we ! And now we must finish our Mountain Dew and take our nap .

King, I still shake at that close call you had. You overslept and they almost emptied the dumpster while you were still in it.
Probably NOT wrong

Joan Walsh, Pencll Neck Geek Richard Wolff,
and Chris (Ran to the Peace Corp) Vietnam Draft Dodger,
laughing at anyone, is way too much to fathom in one setting.
I would give odds, though, that of the three Joan Walsh has the biggest
dick.
Hopefully, Tingles will be next. Hell even Fat ED beats him daily in ratings.
How would you like to sleep to THAT fact each night???

I wonder about Chrissy. It was obvious that he and KO didn’t like each other, but Matthews moved farther left to accomodate (and keep his job). Now without him, which Matthews will show up? Low-rated old Matthews, or low-rated new Matthews?

KING/SARAHP. That was a harrowing experience . Someone stole the shopping cart that I use in my aluminum can business that same day last summer ! But that event led to the creation of my own line of fragrances . The Dumpster in July line by Robert will be available in the finer bodegas and laundromats in Austin this spring .

Nothing is more fun than making fun of poor people. Hey, got any good outsourcing jokes?

It is really better to not comment on matters that you are totally ignorant about.

This is definitely one of those times.

His “super Ego” must be broken because, clearly, matthews is a 7 x 24 ASS.

The main difference of course is that Bachmann always makes an ass of herself. Without fail.

Rep. Bachmann won’t have to worry about Chris Tingles. He will be gone from MSNBC by summer.

Batboy – How you do it is beyond me!! Seriously, how in the hell does a human being become so utterly and completely stupid. I think other stupid people (many on this board) would enjoy hearing your stupid story. So we can learn not to be stupid…like you.

Tweety Bird Tingles still has a job?

Chrissy ‘Thrills & Tingles’ Matthews has got to be the worst ‘on air’ personality TV has ever known. Then again that goofy dunderhead Chrissy has NO personality. The poor guy is so out of touch with everything on planet Earth it is not even funny. He must live in a cave or some other dark, dank place. Does he ever read a book? Use the internet? Read a newspaper or magazine? Seems the only thing Chrissy does is watch movies 23/7/365. That seems to be the only thing the idiot knows. He is an embarrassment to us men!!!

What the limp-wrist Matthews says comes as no surprise. Communist Leftist media hacks only listen to themselves anyway.

Wow you suck that wasn’t funny at all. Wish there were some funny people here besides me.

Matthews voices telling him when he is ‘making an ass of himself’ is most likely just constant nervous tics caused by that ‘tingle moving up his leg’ in worship of Obama having stopped in the area of his body between his hip bones.

Matthews MAY, in fact, have that “Super Ego” that tells him when he’s “being an ass” – but CLEARLY he doesn’t LISTEN to that little voice in his head.
misterbee

Simple to tell when Tingles is making an ass of himself, his eyes are open and his mouth is moving. That was easy.

Michelle Bachmann. Total idiot. I’m so glad she went from being a liberal to being a conservative. She’s in much better company.

Yep, Tingles begins making an ass out of himself each morning when he opens his eyes and stops soon after he passes out each night…unless he barfs in his sleep, of course.

Most people are ashamed of their stupidity. How is it that you are not?
