The always classy Chris Matthews.
(Daily Caller) — There is a time and a place for low-brow humor. But is a Sunday morning public affairs program that is broadcasted all over the country such a place?
So much for the calls for civility in political discourse.
On the Sunday airing of NBC’s “The Chris Matthews Show,” host Chris Matthews thought viewers should be treated to some derogatory attacks on former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. The MSNBC host with a history of accusations of misogynistic behavior from both the right and the left featured a video from “Funny or Die” and set it up by calling it “an upper.”
“I think we need an upper right now so before we break, it’s the end of February and four weeks ago, The Washington Post great writer Dana Milbank urged his colleagues and his competitors in the news world to give Sarah Palin as a topic a rest for the month of February,” Matthews said. “No interviews, no columns – nothing, starvation diet on her. Under the Milbank proposal, how would Palin get through the month? The comedic geniuses at Will Ferrell’s website Funny or Die.com imagined how it went up at Palin headquarters in Alaska.”
