Chris Matthews Calls Michele Bachmann a 'Zombie'

Chris Matthews Really Likes Calling Michele Bachmann A Zombie
Political pundits and hosts like to come up with little running insults for the people they don’t like. Not only does it help belittle and dehumanize your political enemy or rival, it also serves as a fun gag for your regular viewers. Some fun examples are Rush Limbaugh always calling Harry Reid “Dingy” or Keith Olbermann always calling Glenn Beck “Lonesome Rhodes.” Well, we can now add another pet name to that illustrious group. Apparently Chris Matthews is unable ...

This Just inExcept When Thats Wrong
WaPo‘s “Reliable Source” column Tuesday was late. At 2:02 p.m., they published the news that Chris Matthews ‘ in-law was busted for having nearly 5,000 pounds of pot on his sailboat.

The Villagers on The Chris Matthews Show Are Giddy Over the Prospect of Obama Preaching Austerity in State of the Union Address
The panelists on The Chris Matthews Show were all in agreement this week. President Obama needs to throw Congressional Democrats Under the Bus, punch down the hippies in his base a few times, preach some Austerity during his State of the Union address and work with those nice reasonable Republicans.

Holding the center as he began to do at the end of...

Chris Matthews In-law Charged With Smuggling Pot
They don’t make father-in-laws like they used to.

But it’s not looking good. Federal agents seized 4, 497 pounds of pot on a 79-foot sailboat traveling from Jamaica to the U.S. The boat belongs to Matthews’ in-law, James Ormonde Staveley-O’Carroll . Matthews&...
