You've heard of Bill Moyers' Journal. Over the last two nights, Hardball could be titled Chris Matthews' Urinal. Suddenly, Chris is grossing viewers out with "pee" metaphors. On Thursday night, he badgered GOP consultant Todd Harris:
What do you guys have to talk about positively? What do you guys got in your barrel? You got anything to sell or are just running against this guy? Just pee all over Obama everyday. You got anything to sell? Positively? What? What are your bills?
On
Wednesday night, he went after House Minority Leader John Boehner for
declaring that President Obama's limited openings for offshore drilling
weren't enough:
That's Boehner! Boehner the golfer, the hard-ass Republican guy who won't give an inch on anything, who has to pee on this guy's parade no matter what he says. I don't, I don't care what he says sometimes!
At
least GOP strategist Ron Christie challenged Matthews on whether
climate change is an inevitable catastrophe, but Matthews could only
compare climate skeptics to Darwin-challenging Christians:
There are people, there are people that question, there are people who question evolution. That doesn't mean there isn't evolution!
