Another liberal double-standard. Surprise!

Okay.  So, which is it?  Chris Matthews says…

You know what I think of people when they come on “Hardball,” and they look at the camera, I think they’re dolts.

Don’t believe that quote?  Here’s the audio.  I think Roger Simon from Politico and I watched the same 2008 Vice-Presidential Debate held at Washington University. 

ROGER SIMON, POLITICO: When she faced the audience, she always looked directly into the camera, always directly at America. Joe Biden was turned for most of it.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: He was looking at Gwen.

SIMON: At Gwen Ifill, exactly! Which came across better?

MATTHEWS: Well apparently according to all the polling, talking to, answering the questions of the moderator, not ignoring those questions, not doing what every, every first year candidate does is go right to the camera. You know what I think of people when they come on “Hardball,” and they look at the camera, I think they’re dolts. I think that’s the one thing people don’t like, because when you’re looking at me right now, that’s real. You’re looking at me that’s real. You start looking in the camera right now and answer my question and see how you look. Okay just see how you look.

I’m not sure which debate Chris Matthews watched.  Does anyone know if Tina Fey and SNL were doing a spoof last night to which Matthews might have tuned his television?  ;-)

But, what about Barack Obama having looked into the camera so much at the first presidential debate at Ole Miss?  Did Chris Matthews have a problem with that?  Nope.  I didn’t hear a word out of him.  But, his friends at the NYT praised Obama for it…

The differences were in no small part stylistic and visible with a glance to the stage: a 47-year-old black man who has been in the Senate for nearly four years standing at one lectern, facing a 72-year-old white-haired fixture of the Senate standing across from him. In many ways, Mr. Obama was a very different candidate than he was during the primary battles. He answered questions directly and affirmatively, typically looking right into the camera as he spoke.

Chris Matthew and Barack Obama…dolts?!  Okay.  ;-)

Bottom line…

Sarah Palin cleaned house last night as she rocked Washington University in St. Louis.

    According to “most” of the polls Joe Biden allegedly won the debate. Why did the Republicans/conservatives look so happy? Why did the Democrats/liberals look like they just stepped in something? I must not be intelligent enough to understand the MSM and their interpretation of events. I now know I can not trust my lying eyes and ears because what I saw was… Sarah Palin kicked his ass!

    [...] This isn’t the first or the last we will see out of the MSM carrying water for the DNC and Obama this election cycle.  Remember Chris Matthews calling Sarah Palin “a dolt?” [...]
