Chris Matthews Forgot Barack Obama Was Black Last Night

I am not touching this one. I’m just going to stand here in the falling snow and watch Chris Matthews morosely climb the steps into the armored bus heading to Race Jail. He’s all yours, Warden! This thing is literally a suicide-race-bomb strapped to Matthews’s giant barrel chest, and anyone who gets too close is going to get blown into mind-pieces. CAREFUL! Chris Matthews is the Black Hurt Locker.

Did you watch the State of the Union last night, btw? (We use expressions like “btw” when talking about the most serious and important of political addresses now. We SEXT about it.) I thought it was pretty good!

Diddy Reporting Live From The Center Of His Basement

Diddy provides further evidence that MSNBC should have hired him instead of David Gregory to replace Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews by recapping, like, news and stuff.

Skip This David Gregory Noise, Let’s Get Diddy In The MSNBC Anchor Seat

It was reported yesterday that Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews will be relieved of their duties as co-chairs of MSNBC’s prime time election season coverage because they were fighting too much. David Gregory will be replacing them. Some people are claiming that the shake up is in response to right wing complaints that the network was showing a distinct liberal bias, and apparently the people at NBC were also upset because it reflected negatively on the objectivity of their August institution insofar as it shozzzzzzzzzzz. God, who cares? So boring! Diddy blog! Diddy blog! Diddy blog!

Chris Matthews Threw A Bottle At Mike Birbiglia

Comedian Mike Birbiglia was a roaster at a Nantucket Comedy Festival roast of the comedy team Jerry “Ben’s dad who was also on Seinfeld and The King of Queens” Stiller and Anne “Ben’s mom who was also on ALF” Meara. Hardball host Chris Matthews was also present, and in the grand tradition of famous people showing up at a roast and being surprised that they get roasted too (like Carrot Top at Flava Flav’s roast last summer), Chris didn’t take jokey criticism of his show too well, as Mike explains on 23/6:

I said, “I love Chris’ show. I think I love it almost as much as he does–which is difficult. I haven’t heard someone laugh at their own jokes that hard since George Bush after Katrina. You got to hand it to Chris. He always has something to say, and when he doesn’t have something to say, he says it louder.”

At this point, Chris Matthews threw a bottle at me.

I’d like to clarify that it was a plastic bottle and it was empty, but it was still a bottle and it allows me to say the phrase, “Chris Matthews threw a bottle at me.”

I looked down at the man I watch on the news every day and said, “Chris, guess what? When you throw stuff, I win.”

There you have it: breaking news: Chris Matthews is slightly unhinged (via The Apiary.) Speaking of roasts, I’m actually kind of excited about the Bob Saget roast on Sunday! For real!
