Chris Matthews, who has publicly insisted that he doesn’t like “cheap shots,” on Tuesday trashed conservatives in the House as “troglodytes” from the movie Planet of the Apes. According to the Hardball anchor, Republicans opposing the President in the government shutdown believe that “if the country goes down, the economy goes down, the world comes apart, ‘hey, we get an extra inch of flesh off this guy [Obama].'”
After guest David Corn, editor of the liberal Mother Jones magazine, sneered that these GOP members want to “blog things up” and “plunge the detonator,” Matthews snarled, “Is this troglodyte or weird thinking?” He fumed, “It’s almost like Planet of the Apes… At what point are they going to say, I guess we were wrong?”
