While I agree with Don Imus that there's "something wrong with" Chris Matthews, I'm amused to see that no one pointed out the obvious. Imus isn't upset about the F-bomb on his show. He's upset because he owns a ranch.

And I love this:

Imus: "If you were on ‘Meet the Press’ would you say that? Of course not.”

Matthews: "I think I said something like that on my show once.”

Imus: "Yeah, your show, but nobody watches your show.”

Matthews: "Would you stop?”

So why don't you like Chris matthews these days?

Chrissy Matthews and Imus. Two people guaranteed to make my teeth ache. And Imus doesn't have much of a leg to stand on when talking about viewers/listeners. That is just too funny.

Chrissy is like a hamster on meth, only he makes less sense. Imus: GREAT !@#$ing party at his place. As long as the blow holds out, that is.

He's upset because he's owns a ranch.

Is that ebonics?

Matthews seems obsessed over that ranch. It's weird. He's mentioned it before.

Funny, Reagan had a ranch, and I don't recall Matthews kvetching about that.

BTW, I couldn't care less if anyone uses the f-word. But Matthews is nuts.

Actually, to be precise, the two were comparing Bush and Giuliani. Imus was upset that Bush owns a ranch.

Chris Matthews is certainly not a guy to watch. His liberal bias is too evident and he's another dumb guy from the east coast that thinks he's smart. Way too many people like that from the east coast that are on TV.

"Imus isn't upset about the F-bomb on his show."

I must say I'm confused by this assertion, and indeed by the point of this post. The exchange to which you linked focuses almost entirely on Imus' being "upset" by the profanity.

It's just like Matthews' rantings about "neo-con" Geeks who were teased on playgrounds as children. Imagine his reaction if you were a neo-con geek with ranch! I just got a great idea how to dress-up when I ring his bell on Halloween.

I save you from the mortification of bad English and don't even get a thank you in the comments?

Why not encourage people in Matthews' position to curse and say whatever else is on their minds? That way, their mothers and the other 4 people who watch their shows will be able to tell the difference between them and real journalists like Dan Rather....er....them and Walter Cronkite....er....Well, you see what I'm getting at.

Well, someone had finally shown where the true division lies in this country. Chris' comments about the ranch and Giuliani make it pretty clear.

It's city people against the country people. As a matter of the latter group, I've suspected as much for some time. City People! It's all about THEM.

The half-baked schemes about conservation, the environment, endangered species, forestry, air pollution, drilling for oil, and national security (just to name a few) get cooked up in the cities by the city people and imposed on the rest of us by mandate and regulation. These poorly thought out/unworkable schemes must then be lived with for decades by people living outside the beltway. Meanwhile fuel & lumber costs go up, jobs are lost, and now, children and livestock get attacked by deliberately introduced carnivores.

Wouldn't be so bad if the city people had the honesty to 'fess up and say, "Yeah, that didn't work so well; it didn't help at all and caused problems. Wish we hadn't done it; we'll change it tomorrow.". But Nooooo.....they absolutely cannot admit when they're wrong. The typical response to a self-created disaster by these city-based regulatory activists is more of the same.

I'll say one thing for Chris Matthews; he brought the division out into the open. The city people despise the country folk. Let it be known that the country folk increasingly have little use for the city people.

Doesnt Don Imus own a big ranch? Isnt that the point of the stupid pretend cowboy hat he always wears?

555JM:

Speaking as a city person, but one with his heart in the country, I can attest to the accuracy of your observation.

Yes buzz,Imus does own a ranch in New Mexico:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imus_Ranch

And should you ever come west,it would be inadvisable to use the term "stupid pretend cowboy hat",we take our hats very seriously here.

Have you seen pictures of said hat? Are you really going to defend it? Have you ever seen a real cowboy wear a hat like that? Out west where I also live, I have only seen posers wear a hat like that. I stand behind my "stupid pretend cowboy hat" comment.
Also, while I know he owns a ranch, how does that square with him hating people that own ranches? Which, of course, was my point.

Yes,I've seen his hat,looks to me like a typical beat-up,scraggly,working ranch-type hat.I have one,as do a lot of my friends,but then we don't live in the city & only wear our good hats to go into town.

You need to read the article,it wasn't Imus that said he hated ranch owners,it was Matthews talking about Bush's ranch.

Oh,and I live a little over an hour from Imus's ranch.

I haven't seen Mr. Imus's hat, but perhaps it is multi-purpose like a swiss army knife. You know, doubles as a high gain antenna, and serves to increase Earth's albedo and combat global warming.

Mr. Talkover is the most inept and annoying interviewer on TV

I think 555JM is dead on. Indeed, one need only look at the Red/Blue election map to see he's right.
