My guess is that they’re tanking like the newspapers, and that’s why they say the crap they do, have crappy, lying guests, and give the White House and all those slimeballs the cover to get away with the seditious crap they do. I grew up reading TIME, Newsweek, U.S. News and World Report, etc., and watching the news with my dad every night. Now, I’d almost rather slit my wrists than sit through the nightly news, or waste my precious life reading Joe Klein et al. They’ve shot their credibility by spitting on Clinton and Gore and giving Shrub, Cheney, and Rove free passes every time, and they’ve lost me and my family as customers for their content and ads for life.</p> <p>This country is so over…</p> I’d like to see some ratings numbers and trends for the major news magazines and news shows like Matthews’.

I STILL cannot forgive him for putting that fucker O’Neill from the Swiftboaters on again and again.

I am sure we will have more codpiece worship shortly. He can’t change who he is.

Intellectually, he knows Bush is bad for him, but he’s just so damn *sexy* when he does that resolute steely-gaze thing that Matthews can’t think straight.

Chris Matthews is not to be taken seriously at any point in the future. Blood is on his hands. He is an irresponsible parrot who should be seen as such, a noise maker, nothing more.

I think Bush is so totally unattractive with beady eyes and a smirk. Yuch. Do men find him attractive?
