Chris Matthews show, Hardball, got a makeover..

chris matthews show got some new digshardball with chris matthews

Chris Matthews’ show Hardball with Chris Matthews got a makeover.

The political commentator debuted his show’s new intro and their new HD studio a few minutes ago.

The studio is HUGE!  They did a wide shot and panned around the entire studio at the beginning of the show and just by the looks of it you could fit my first studio apartment into that place!

The intro to the show is now a lot more serious however I think I prefer the old one but you never know this one will probably grow on me too.

I’m sure there’s going to be just as much drama in this studio as there was in the last one because wherever Chris Matthews goes drama is sure to follow.

See. it’s only been 20mins into Matthews’ ‘new’ show and he’s already called former Vice President Dick Cheney, “that man” in regards to the reported involvement of the VP in a CIA secret assassination program

Let the drama begin!


Will Pennsylvania Congressman Joe Sestak run against Specter?

Pennsylvania Congressman Joe Sestak was on Hardball with Chris Matthews a few minutes ago discussing his potential Senate run against the newest Democrat in the US Senate Arlen Specter.

He still hasn’t decided according to him he’s still consulting with his family. I don’t buy his reason at all but it does sound nice and keeps the press back a bit. But what I think he’s really doing is weighing the costs to his political future if he runs against Specter because he knows he wouldn’t be running against Specter alone he’ll be running against Obama, Biden and the current Democratic leadership.

And that’s a tough call for a politician.

But I hope he does run.

We’re Democrats damn it! We don’t want people telling us who to vote for even if that order comes from a well liked President. Leave the anointing of leaders to the Republicans..lol.

Sestak might be a long shot and he might suffer severe blowback for running against Specter BUT this is America if you believe in something you go for it and fight for it every inch of the way and I think if Sestak really believes that he’s the better candidate he shouldn’t let anything deter him from running. 

Who knows he just might win and all he has to do is look at the current occupants at the White House to know that anything is possible in this great country!


Unseat Senator Roland Burris

you're outta there!!

We all understand why Senator Roland Burris (D-IL) hasn’t resigned but why haven’t the Democrats found a way to unseat him? 

Hopefully, with the release of the FBI wiretap tapes  Democrats, maybe even President Obama, can now persuade Burris to resign since we now have proof that he was involved if only on the margins in the effort by former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich to sell Obama’s US Senate seat. 

Burris is an embarrassment not only to himself and the Democratic Party but he has become a recognizable stain on the United States Senate. The longer Burris remains seated the longer, we the public, have to endure the media’s coverage of this egomaniac and  his pathetic attempts to cover up his role in this deplorable scandal.

You gotta hand it to Blago he knew what he was doing when he appointed Roland Burris but in the end all parties got something from this Burris/Blago debacle. 

Blago got a really good laugh not the last, mind you, but he got a hearty chuckle.

Burris gets to engrave the title Senator on his tombstone and Hardball Award recipient. 

And the American people got yet another shocking glimpse at high-level public corruption. 

 But enough is enough.  Democrats. Republicans. Independents.  GET ROLAND BURRIS OUT OF THE SENATE!!!


Roland Burris to run in 2010..

According to Lynn Sweet Washington, D.C. bureau chief for the Chicago Sun Times Roland Burris junior Senator from Illinois and Rod Blagojevich appointee has begun to raise funds to run again in 2010.

She made the statement on Hardball with Chris Matthews.

Interesting. I guess he didn’t make a deal with Harry Reid after all?

I’m quite sure Burris will have  some challengers.


Matthews just called Joe Lieberman useless!!

What the hell?

Has Chris Matthews lost his frigging mind?

He just called Joe Lieberman, Al Gore’s running mate in 2000 a ‘terrible running mate’,,

He sure as hell isn’t running for Senator is he?


Chris Matthews really hates George Bush?

chris-matthews

Chris Matthews in MSNBC’s Obama inauguration coverage just said that he Richard Nixon was a tragic but interesting figure and George Bush is an ‘uninteresting yet consequential’ President..

Well allright then..

I’ve heard him say some stuff over the few years but in the last few days he hasn’t hid his disdain for our former president..

Do you think he’s sorry to see the end of Bush?


MSNBC needs black political commentators with their own shows

I watch MSNBC all day long seriously, I have no life..lol. And although I’ve noticed this before only recently has it started to bother me that they have lots of black MSNBC analysts but no black commentators with their own show on this station.

Why not?

They don’t even have to look too far. I think either Michelle Bernard or Harold Ford Jr should be considered for their own shows. Bernard and Ford regularly appear on MSNBC shows and segments and either individual would bring a unique  perspective to the news of the day. Maybe they could do a show together?  A black conservative and moderate democrat similar perspectives on certain issues but vastly differently ideologies on the biggest ones. Now that would be interesting.

Come on if Tucker Carlon could get his own show why can’t Michelle Bernard?

What do you think?


Michelle Bernard has West Indian blood, not a surprise..

 michelle bernard and chris matthews

If you happen to watch MSNBC as much as I do (I know, I know I have no life…lol) then you know the name and the face Michelle Bernard as CEO of a conservative women’s group and a Republican party supporter I’ve always wondered why she seems supportive of Obama’s candidacy and believe me  I’m not the only one who’s noticed this.

After a comment by Chris Matthews on tonight’s Hardball about her heritage I now understand the enthusiasm she has repeatedly showed for Obama’s candidacy.

Bernard is the daughter of Jamaican immigrants and if you understand anything about the Caribbean and its people then you will understand why Michelle leans towards social and fiscal conservatism so that explains her political leanings.

However, at the same time she probably has a deep understanding of what it means to grow up black in America and also how significant and monumental it would be not only to America to have it’s first black president but also how much it would mean to all those in the black diaspora as well and this explains her Obama championing!

Hmm..now it all makes sense and by the way she’s separated from this guy..

BTW Sandy Leidholt took that awesome pix, check her out…

**Update** Why didn’t Michelle Bernard get her own show on MSNBC?


Chris Matthews is the man!!!

I don’t always agree with his comments or his way of talking to guests but yesterday Chris Matthews of MSNBC, Hardball fame was brilliant!!

Like I always say if you don’t have a clue about what you’re talking about..shut to hell up!!!

 

 

 


The greatest speech in the universe…

I’m waiting and waiting to hear one of the greatest speeches ever to be delivered..

Apparently Clinton will deliver that speech tonight and boy I can’t wait to hear it Chris Matthews and Keith Olberman have been talking about it all night..I guess the speech is being billed ‘as the greatest speech in the universe’, by Clintons’ people boy this is going to be good..lol

Move over Lincoln and Churchill, forget about the Gettysburg Address and the Never, Give In speeches..here comes Clinton with her victory speech after winning West Virginia..lol

I really hope I don’t fall asleep..
