Oh, Chris
— Ace

I was just trying to get Chris Matthews to say something stupid -- it's been hours -- offering him up Ryan's mention that this was not a "dark hour" in America, but the "dawn before we remembered who we were."

Dark hour? Come on. That's easy.

But so far he's not jumping on my bandwagon.

So, I'll have to go back to last night's stupidities.

This is rich:

But I go back to living in DC all these years. I've lived there 40 years, a black-majority city, and anybody who wants to get up early in Washington and drive down North Capitol (Street) and drive past Florida Avenue, sees nothing but youn-, but black people up at 6:30 in the morning going to work. That's where they're going, to work, and not at big-wage jobs and not to get a welfare check, they're out working hard all day and not coming home with a fantastic paycheck. So this notion of blacks live on welfare and whites live on work is a brilliant political ploy but it's not true, Rachel (Maddow). And you know it, I know it.

Newsbusters fact-checks his claim. He doesn't live in DC; he lives in the tony white rich Maryland suburb of Chevy Chase. And:

According to census data at Maryland-Demographics.com, 1,953 people lived in Chevy Chase Village as of 2010. Of those nearly 2,000 residents, 10 were black. That's right -- ten. As in, one-half of one percent. Ninety-three percent of its residents were white, the remaining percentage other minorities.

Now if Chris Matthews intended to claim he was a good, racially tolerant guy for living in a majority-minority city, what does it say about him -- per his own syllogism -- that he actually lives in a town with only ten (ten!!!) black folks in it?

This one's for Jane D'oh. It's old by now, but worth mentioning again: Chris Matthews asked Condi Rice if her speech was a "rejoinder to all the birtherism."

It's now quite clear why Chris Matthews likes noted Conspiracy Theorist and Interuterine Detective Agency owner Andrew Sullivan so much.

Matthews grew up in Northeast Philly, a neighborhood that was designed as a refuge from all those undesirables who lived downtown. The White Guilt is strong with this one.

31 "Chevy" is a racist code word. So, of course, is "Chase." But the most blatant one of all, it was discussed earlier. Here, I'll give it some "context." "They gone put y'all back in Chicago!"

32 That doesn't even come close to the most wall-eyed thing Chris said last night.

"The progressive look is we are getting better. The other view is weÂ’ve got to restore, restore, restore. WeÂ’ve go back to where we were. But to a lot of Americans, if you get back to where we were, there were slaves, if we got back to where we were, women weren't voting."

Yes, apparently we want to bring back slavery.

62 Kind of weak criticism--Chrissy was very specific about the area he was talking about, and it's not Chevy Chase, it's further SE. The real problem is he thinks that the white working class is too stupid to know that most people on welfare are white, ergo they are racists. Bullshit They see the single mothers at the grocery stores swiping their EBT cards. Welfare only equals black in the mind of a racist liberal (but then I am being redundant).

When I Republican says...well...ANYTHING...it's racist.

They can't help themselves. Every word out of their mouth is dripping with racism. From the moment they wake up and say "Good morning" to their spouse, to the moment they say "Good night" and drift off to sleep.

Now, I know, you're wondering how "Good morning" could possibly be racist. And frankly, I'm not entirely sure how to explain it to you. I don't really know how they do it, but they do. They are so profoundly racist that even wishing their spouse well carries with it unspoken coded meanings.

I don't know how they do it, but they do it. They do.

It would be nice if someone threw this back on his face.

Chris, I am surprised at your insane insinuation that President Obam was not born in Hawaii. The Republican Party has stated that Barack was born in the US. Why do you want to impugn his qualifications?

Chris, Do you really believe the President was not born in the US? Your assertion is crazy! I cannot believe you said this on national TV.

Andrea, Does Chris need help? He is acting so strangely...

The vibe was Beverly Hills meets Beltway, as the Chevy Chase Land Company celebrated the grand opening of its new string of high-end boutiques on Wisconsin Avenue.

The new name, The Collection at Chevy Chase, is the crown jewel of the $165 million Chevy Chase Center redevelopment project. Billed as the Â‘Â‘Rodeo Drive of the East Coast,Â” tenants of the 112,000-square-foot space include Christian Dior, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., Bulgari, MaxMara, Cartier, Ralph Lauren, Co-Op Barneys New York, Jimmy Choo, Famoso Restaurant and Lounge, M CafÃ© and Klinger Advanced Aesthetics.

Thursday nightÂ’s event, a half-million-dollar bash for 700 had all the glitz and glamour of a Hollywood premiere, but with a decidedly Washington flavor.

Announced as Capital File MagazineÂ’s summer Â‘Â‘ItÂ” couple, MSNBCÂ’s Â‘Â‘HardballÂ” host Chris Matthews and his wife, WJLA news anchor Kathleen Matthews, served as the guest hosts for the party. The Matthews live just on the District side of Chevy Chase.

Â‘Â‘I like to see economic development,Â” Chris Matthews said with a laugh. Â‘Â‘I think the poor people of Bethesda need a little break.Â”

Matthews' increasing derangement is a sure sign that the dems are losing. He's trying to motivate the AAs to come out in huge numbers to vote.

He's actually turning off moderates with his rants and nuttiness.

And if you check his Nielsons you'll find he's in the toilet ratings wise.

Hell, his ratings are even lower than Sharpton's. I think he's crazed because he's failing in the ratings plus his idol is losing the election. He's desperate and depressed and lashing out. And probably hitting the bottle.

I find it amuzing that the dems made such fun of Bush; calling him stupid and chimpy when the dems leaders are Barky, Biden, Pelosi, Reid, and DWS. It just goes to show you that the dems primary motivational driver is projection! DWS - what an ugly person, both inside and out! Her handlers? Damn, that's a thankless job!

In today's adventures in Things That Only Happen To Me, I drove The Boss over to court, he goes to put down the passenger's side window, he presses the little button thingy and it falls straight down into the door. Note that I don't mean the window fell down, oh no, just the lever bit. He's all embarrassed, I think this is hilarious and, bless his heart (in the good way), he insisted I take the car to the dealership this afternoon to get it fixed. I show the guy at the dealership and he starts laughing. Seriously, crap like this only happens to me. Needless to say, they had to order a part that won't be in until next week because, you know, crap like this doesn't happen all the time.

Eastwood made a successful foray into elected politics. He was elected mayor in April 1986 of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California (population 4,000), a wealthy small town and artist community on the Monterey Peninsula. He served one term. A focal point of Eastwood's campaign was to overturn a law that banned eating ice cream in public.

I lived in the area when that all happened. He was very popular in the area for not being a typical liberal panty-waist. He also had a boner for ADA lawsuits, and took one such attempt on his Restaurant all the way to court, and won.

223 Apparently Matthews was a cop for a while, too. Regardless, I think he's enough of a drunken buffoon that we can find better things to rail at him about. Again, the key here is not where he lives, what time he went to work, or whatever, but the hypocrisy is that he is the one that is equating welfare with blacks, and he is projecting that onto Romney. I mean, he says, "So this notion of blacks live on welfare and whites live on work is a brilliant political ploy but it's not true, Rachel." But he's the one that keeps saying it.

The attack happened around 10:00 a.m. Tuesday outside the Bonham Academy on St. Mary's Street. Teresa Barron, 38, had just dropped off her child at the school when the child's father showed up, and the two got into an argument. The child's father, 38-year-old Roberto Barron allegedly then stabbed the woman several times in the upper body and neck area. Police say a bystander who happened to be a concealed handgun license holder pulled his weapon and ordered Barron to drop the knife. Barron surrendered and was taken into custody by the bystander and a school district officer. The woman was taken to San Antonio Military Medical Center. Barron was arrested for aggravated assault, and is in jail on a $150,000 bond. But But But But I thought guns kill?

Posted by: MFM at August 30, 2012 04:32 PM (/YJYi)

I like Hannan, a bit, but he really has no business anywhere near an American political event - certainly not a party convention (unless he's there as an "observer" or something).

Then, there's also the problem that he actually supported the Indonesian in 2008 (which he also had no business doing). He apologized for it, but that was an unforgiveable sin, especially as there was more than enoughinformation available at the time that no one had any excuse for that position, at all - not even fuzzy foreigners whose opinions about our elections are less than worthless.

American elections are for no one other than Americans. And the Presidency is for no one other than natural born Americans.

He was a summer cop in Norfolk Va, if I remember correctly. They all used the badge to get laid.

And tingles couldn't figure out why his badge wouldn't work, except with large butchy looking fems, with tattoos on their arms of penises in a red circle with slashes through them?

Mathews is confident that he can tell the size of someone's paycheck just by seeing them heading to work early in the morning.

Stockbrokers go to work at 6:30; so do lots of lawyers and business owners. How does he know the people he sees aren't going to those jobs? What makes Mathews so certain they are low wage earners? Could it be that he is just a tad bit, oh, I don't know, RACIST?!?!?

126 "Either way, why would he drive all the way east to North Capitol Street on the other side of the city when MSNBC's Washington Bureau is in whiter than white AU Park/Cathedral Heights a quick drive south down Nebraska Ave?"

Depends on where he lived re: Rock Creek Park. NC street is the way to the Capitol and the office buildings south of there. Why the fuck are we even talking about this? The blogger tried to impugn Matthews because he's a white guy from the 'burbs, but he's ignorant of D.C. geography.

Yeah, its the way to the Capitol if you live east of Rock Creek Park and 16th St. The lack of routes across Rock Creek Park basically forces all traffic headed towards Capitol Hill from Bethesda and Chevy Chase (which is entirely west of Rock Creek Park, I believe Rock Creek Park seperates Chevy Chase from Silver Spring) to head South/Southeast and then turn East across the city and then maybe turn South again. By the time you turn East, you're almost certainly below N. Capitol Street already. I'm telling you, I'm from right in that same area and I have NEVER taken N. Capitol Street to get to Capitol Hill.

Here's the thing, I can sorta understand the larger point because D.C. is the hub of a place like Chevy Chase. I'm from Bethesda which is basically the same as Chevy Chase but I also used to go into the city and volunteer with my church to help feed the homeless so I certainly feel like I had some exposure to the inner city and whatnot. But it's not by any means a guarantee that just because you live around there you know what's going on in the inner city; it's far easier to insulate yourself from those people and areas. And even though I exposed myself a bit to the inner city, its not like I act like an expert on the plight of minorities like Chris Matthews does. And absolutely no one talks about how they understand minorities because they drive by it and see what's happening. It's very easy to avoid the rough parts of D.C. and you almost have to go out of your way if you're coming from one of the wealthy suburbs or wealthy parts of NW. No one drives through those areas if they can help it, it's just not done.

I have a new updated list of "dog whistle" racial code words. The list now includes:

vacation, gorgonzola, arugula, gymnastics, matrix, duck hunt, flatulence, catapult, Borneo, whiskey, juicebox and duplication.

Please adjust your commentary accordingly. Racists.

300 But if Chris was heading down to Gonzaga to have a beer with Pat Buchanan, he'd end up on North Capitol for sure.

Posted by: John at August 30, 2012 02:21 PM (9196u)

301 It may have been noted above (no time to read 300+ comments) but Chevy Chase is on the northwestern edge of DC; Florida Ave is closer to the northeastern edge; you would not cross Florida to get from Chevy Chase to the Capitol. Also, the blurb is a little misleading, since Chevy Chase Village is distinct from Chevy Chase; CCV is incorporated, while I'm not even sure if CC is. (That said, I do not know which of the two Matthews lives in, nor do I care.)

Posted by: logprof at August 30, 2012 03:06 PM (7uUmW)

302 Yeah, I don't think Matthews either lives in DC or commutes on N Capitol Street.

He was probably referring to some bygone day in the 1970s when he worked on the Hill and commuted on N Capitol Street and saw a few black people. Now he lives in lily-white Chevy Chase and works on lily-white MSDNC, well, lily-white with the exception of Al Sharpton. (Toure "Milton Academy" Neblett doesn't count, IMO.)

BTW, how come none of these mainstream media types were former Republican staffers? Every time I see Bill Moyers or George Stephanopoulos or Matthews claim to be impartial I just want to puke.
