Gawker found this hilarious clip of Chris Matthews's on-air Freudian slip while sitting in front of a sign with the image of a giant marijuana leaf. I've heard of contact highs, but this is ridiculous. Chris seems to be getting higher and higher the more he speaks.
We're accustomed to seeing their calm and composed on-camera demeanors, but news anchors brought their tempers to the table this week. A vintage vid of
Bill O'Reilly ranting and raging surfaced on the net and then
Sue Simmons dropped the F-bomb during a recent live broadcast. Is this week's chain of events coincidental, or are these off-air outbursts and temper tantrums the norm?
As my love/hate relationship with political MSNBC host Chris Matthews continues, Media Matters has chronicled the downs of our up-and-down affair. Media Matters, an
online nonprofit, monitors and analyzes misinformation in the US media. Repeat offender Chris Matthews has
his very own page.
Big, bad, tangerine Chris Matthews (though I was just looking at some old pictures of him — he looks thinner and younger than he did five years ago! Maybe TV news is the fountain of hot?) was on The Colbert Report last night, where he dodged the big nail down about a possible run for Sen. Arlen Specter's seat in 2010.
Chris Wallace, the guy who
criticized his own network because he thought his fellow Fox-ians were being too harsh on Obama, has started the "Obama said he was coming to Fox News Sunday and he hasn't and we are going to try to shame him into it with a digital count down graphic" clock.

Jon Stewart has a few things to say about that — but the real goods come at ol' Tangerine Chris Matthews expense. Check out the mash-up of his "how's it feel to be the black kid of a white mom" interview from earlier this week.
OK, Liberty's going to kill me (she loves her MSNBC) but I'll just have to risk it — everyone's favorite tangerine news man, Chris Matthews was on Ellen yesterday — dancing like his spray tan depended on it. (Oh, OK! "Healthy Glow."
Now that the dust has sort of settled from Junior Super Tuesday, and 24-hour cable news is no longer playing in my head while I sleep, one thing I heard Tuesday night just won't go away. I heard Chris Matthews of MSNBC talk about the "White Ethnic Vote" a group he described as white Americans who do not have a four-year college degree.
The use of the term "ethnic" to refer to someone's level of education boggles my mind.
