Annual Salary: $5 Million

Chris Matthews confused Osama and Obama again yesterday. He’s a very serious professional broadcaster who makes $5 million a year. And he can’t pronounce the last name of the Democratic nominee without confusing it with the world’s most wanted terrorist.

    I’d be happy to do Chris Matthews job for 1/2 his current salary, and I guarantee I wouldn’t confuse Obama and Osama.

    I’ve stopped watching ChrisMatthews altogether. His comments and prepared commentary surrounding Tim Russert’s passing opened my eyes to just how much of a hack he has become. Very petty.Sad really, he put MSNBC on the map back in the day. I guess $5M is enough to change anyone.

    I’m ambivalent toward Matthews. Sometimes I think he’s spot on and “gets it”. Other times…ehhhh…not so much…

    Sometimes I think he’s spot on and “gets it”. Other times…ehhhh…not so much…I know exactly what you mean. Today he had Pat “The High Talker” Buchanan on and let him have it for comparing McCain to Eisenhower. You should look up the video on the MSNBC website. I’ll try to have it on my blog as soon as I can.

    Matthews? How many fucking times his he going to say Osama instead of Obama? I think I’ll call Chris Matthews “Sean Hannity” from now on. I’m sure he won’t mind.

    The MSM hats pull down mega-bucks and you wonder why they relate so well to the McBushs. They’re not quite so rich, but they’re rich enough to have the taste for it. They would just love to belong to that club.Forth estate? Man, they’re in bed with the nobility now.

    Does anybody know if Matthews has ADHD? It seems as if some days he takes his meds and some he doesn’t. I’ll bet the day he confused Obama/Osama was a no med day.
