		<description>&lt;p&gt;To Kathleen @ 173 - Perhaps if Jon Stewart has a new book out to promote, he will appear on “Hardball”; I don’t recall Chris appearing on too many shows prior to this, do you?  I believe the reason many people happened upon Keith Olbermann was we were spinning the dial trying to get some truth from “newsmen” about what was going on.&lt;br /&gt;
   I had no faith in “W” after he became governor here in Texas and he lifted all the restrictions on the chemical plants just to begin with and after “messing with Texas”, he set his eyes on the presidency - unbelievable! It has been difficult to search out the real facts, but thanks to Molly Ivins and Bill Moyer, there were occasional glimpses, so you feel a need to continue to look for the truth.  Occasionally, Chris would speak the truth and then I latched onto Keith - Halleloooooya!&lt;br /&gt;
         I suspect many people found Keith the same  way and the comparison, well, may I say there was no real comparison.  If Chris is going to start speaking the truth on a steady and reliable basis, surely more and more people will hear it and stay tuned.  However, we know that his family is mostly republican and his wife, I believe, works as spokesperson for Marriott Corp, which is a big donator to the Bushes, if I have my facts correct.  All I can say is that truth is music to my ears.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Matthews is doing a book signing today on the very stage where Frederick Douglass spoke some 170 years ago.  And though this may now be the affluent island of Nantucket, there will be several people there who hope to draw him out on this while the video tape is running.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Kathleen:  IMO, Tweety sucks.  I don’t watch him often because he pisses me off.  And when I do watch him, its because I want to hear fake crap and laugh about it.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Seriously go back and listen to Jon Stewart’s interview with Bill Kristol ( who helped start the war).  Stewart completely plays softball with one of the most serious warmongers and Stewart focuses on Bush’s mistakes, and completely avoids nailing Kristol.   So Stewart “selectively” attacks people and not someone like Kristol.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stewart you were a weenie with Kristol.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kathleen, your perception is strange.  I saw Stewart with Kristol, and he made a complete fool of him.  What was beautiful was that he did it with total grace and without raising his voice.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Walter Reed Chris matthews&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9118826/&quot;&gt;http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9118826/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Interesting that Jon Stewart was much harder on Chris Matthews than on Bill Kristol.  Interesting&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://video.aol.com/video-detail/daily-show-bill-&quot;&gt;http://video.aol.com/video-detail/daily-show-bill-&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
kristol-pt-2/2528498385&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jesus Jon Stewart had the opportunity to nail Kristol and he did not.  Stewart played softball with one of the zealots who started the war in Iraq.  So very very interesting&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-1017041&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;kathleen @ 170&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jane you are full of it on this one.  I have watched Matthews at least three nights a week for years and he has been hammering on the Bush administration, Cheney included and the right wing radicals for close to five  years now.  Hammering hard.  I have seen him be so hard on Bill Kristol, David Frum and other “cakewalk in Iraq” zealots that I will put money on it they seem to not ever come on his program&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You must not watch the show if you are saying that he is jumping on some wave.  He was one of the very first MSMers to bring attention to the situation at Walter Reed, he focused on returning soliders earlier than FDL was bringing them up.  So Please…  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are a lot of things that I do not like that Matthews says or the way he sometimes drills people.   But you are either hard of hearing, or so far left that you can not listen to Matthews honestly, or not watching Hardball at all and listening to other people here at FDL instead of listening to the program for yourself.   &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Criticizing the Bush administration and this war is not something new for Chris Matthews.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wrong, and I have watched him EVERY day for eight years.  He was OK till the Iraq War loomed, then he became another cheerleader, which thoroughly disgusted me at the time.  Now he is starting to come back, but his motives are as likely self-interest as principle.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Donahue?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When did that idiot get his own show?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At least he was a lefty idiot, and he had a show on MSNBC until he spoke against the Iraq War in the early days.  His ratings were decent, but they dumped him for opposing the war.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;What did she say?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She admitted to using steroids (the infamous “clear” and “cream” from BALCO).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She said her trainer had given them to her without her knowledge.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What she admitted to was that AFTER she found out the truth she went on to cover it up and lie.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I felt very sad for her. She’s a victim of the stupid trainer and she’ll likely lose all her medals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What could she had achieved without that crap?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh, she also announced she’s retired from running.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wingnut Preager says the reason Gore didn’t win in 2000 is that Clinton didn’t resign. And Tweety agrees.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So they completely ignored all the election fraud? Strange how Al got so many more votes nationally and they didn’t think it was stolen from him. Just how many more votes does a Dem have to win by before they actually get to win?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rudy v. Hillary. Interesting. One changed from Democrat to Republican and the other did the opposite.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Really? I hadn’t realized Rudy switched.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But, they’re still both Corporatist NeoCons. Really I could imagine a Giuliani-Clinton ticket without really any stretch of the imagination.&lt;/p&gt;
