Isn’t funny that cable news’ talking heads – the Chris Matthews, the Tim Russerts, the Bill O’Reillys – all play up their blue collar roots, identifying as one of the people, when they earn millions of dollars a year and have more homes than you have limbs?

Typically tough Hillary Clinton got whiny with Ellen DeGeneres yesterday, when the politician griped about MSNBC’s Chris Matthews‘ consistently unflattering coverage of the Senator.

Speaking on DeGeneres dangerous tango with Matthews, Clinton remarked, “I feel like he manhandles me every night.” Bill Clinton had no comment…

See the girls talk about gay rights here.

Obama-adoring homo-journo Andrew Sullivan predicts an epilogue to the Bush Administration: war crime indictments.

Sullivan, appearing on The Chris Matthews Show this weekend, believes that a newly released John Yoo “torture memo,” which gave the government a green light to use excessive measures to question detainees, will get a new life after the next inauguration. Said Sullivan: The latest revelations on the torture front show the memo from John Yoo…means that Don Rumsfeld, David Addington and John Yoo should not leave the United States any time soon. They will be, at some point, indicted for war crimes. Yes, but what about the big chief, George W. Bush?

Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama braved Chris Matthews’ “Hardball College Tour” last night. During the electoral special, one of the West Chester University students asked Obama about his gay marriage stance. Obama reiterated that he supports “strong” civil unions, leading Matthews to wonder whether that counts as discrimination. Obama went on to iron out the details: …It is very important that the state makes sure that they are not denying the same kind of rights that have historically been denied, because when I think about a same sex couple not being able to visit each other in the hospital, when I think about them not being able to transfer property, or to pass on … Continued…

We’ve got a live one here!

You may have seen that Ellen DeGeneres hosted Chris Matthews yesterday. And, as per DeGeneres’ tiresome tradition, the newsman was made to dance his way on stage.

While some people half ass their big entrance, Matthews went all out, swinging, shaking and nearly decapitating the lesbian chatter box.

If you didn’t like Matthews before, you will now. If you did like him, well, now you’ll love him. And if you loved him, you’re going to ejaculate.

Sappo-Journo Rachel Maddow thinks we need to talk about race, doesn’t want to be Barbie and scoffs at misogynist media types.

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews came under fire for being “dismissive” of Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Apparently enough activists - and MSNBC executives - spoke out and forced Matthews to issue an apology…

Mitt Romney’s flip-flopping popped up on Hardball last night.

We take it the Concord Monitor ain’t feeling the Republicans. The New Hamsphire, which featured the aforementioned anti-Huckabee op-ed, announced this weekend that they will not vote for Mitt Romney.

Entitled “Mitt Romney Should Not Be President,” the piece revolves around Romney’s historic flip-flops: If you followed only his tenure as governor of Massachusetts, you might imagine Romney as a pragmatic moderate with liberal positions on numerous social issues and an ability to work well with Democrats. If you followed only his campaign for president, you’d swear he was a red-meat conservative, pandering to the religious right, whatever the cost. Pay attention to both, and you’re left to wonder if there’s … Continued…

You either love or hate Chris Matthews (pictured, younger). There’s really no middle ground with this MSNBC newsman. Some complain that he’s too smug. Other’s find him disinterested. We, for the record, love him. First of all, he’s cute. Second of all, he talks gay all the time, like last night, when he addressed our nation’s comedic obsession with Larry Craig and bathroom cruisers.

Matthews first brings up a talking Craig doll and then offered a clip of Boston Legal’s James Spader defending William Shatner in a lewd conduct arrest. Says Spader: “We‘re actually sitting in a courtroom wasting tax dollars because my client had gas. He was constipated.”

From there Matthews veers … Continued…

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews played Hardball with Pat Roberton’s Rudy Giuliani endorsement last night.

It’s been 366 days since blogger Michael Rogers first outed Larry Craig. And, as we all know, a lot’s gone down in that year, particularly Craig’s alleged toilet trolling and subsequent arrest.

Rogers sat down with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews yesterday to discuss Craig’s arrest, the Matt Lauer interview and Craig’s “continued manufacturing of soundbites”. With regard to Craig’s repressed homosexuality, Rogers says, “He’s unable to stand up and be proud and honest and open about who he is and that is something he helped create.” And now his creation’s turned on him.

Funny how that happens.
