Chris Matthews: The Punk Strikes Again

Everyone knows that Chris Matthews of MSNBC is a biased, featherweight partisan who poses as a serious journalist. And just in case they didn't know it before, everyone now knows that Matthews is a punk to boot.

Known for pulling embarrassing stunts that put guests, politicians, and other newsmakers on the spot, Matthews demonstrated during the GOP debate in Dearborn, Michigan on Oct. 9 that he will not hesitate to resort to dirty tricks in order to attempt to embarrass those with whom he disagrees.

The latest of Matthew's dirty tricks is the 'let-me-test-you-on-your-knowledge-of-world-leaders' trick. When asking Fred Thompson about the importance of Canada as our neighbor and trading partner, Matthews asked Thompson, 'Who is the Prime Minister of Canada?'

Leftwing nutcases in the mainstream media have been using this trick ever since Dan Quayle to try to catch a GOP candidate in a mental lapse for which they can then be vilified.

One cannot forget the 2000 Presidential campaign when one of the frozen chosen elitists of the mainstream media whipped out a 10-question 'quiz' to give to then-candidate George W. Bush.

Ladies and gentlemen of the mainstream media (and I do use those terms very loosely), your role is not to give candidates a history test or a memory quiz.

Apparently this dirty trick is alive and well among the mongrels of the media, and Chris Matthews no doubt hoped that he could 'catch' Fred Thompson in a memory lapse.

Nothing doing. Thompson answered the question and went on with his answer.

Matthews had already shown his bias in the debate when, after his colleague had asked Thompson a question to which she followed up with another question, he made the snide remark--with the microphone on--that Thompson's answer 'sure did take long enough...I wish he had stopped with his first answer.'

Thompson quickly shot back, 'That's your opinion, Chris.'

My friends, individuals like Chris Matthews have no business moderating a debate anytime, anywhere.
