Clueless Chris Matthews on State of the Union: 'There's Nothing Lefty
February 13th, 2013 6:12 PM
What world does Chris Matthews live in? The MSNBC anchor on Wednesday saw nothing liberal in Barack Obama's State of the Union. Talking to Chuck Todd, the Hardball anchor puzzled, "There's nothing lefty in here. What's the left-wing part? Objectively, was there a left wing piece to this speech last night? I mean, truly left?

Chris Matthews: GOP Spent Months Trying To Prevent Blacks, Poor and Yo
February 5th, 2013 6:15 PM
I often wonder how MSNBC's Chris Matthews looks at himself in the mirror each morning when he shaves and brushes his teeth.

January 16th, 2013 6:07 PM
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, best known for constantly attacking the Republican Party and conservatives in general, made the laughable claim on Wednesday that he's a "really conservative guy."
