Chris Matthews on Imus in the Morning

I caught the tail end of Chris' call-in today on the way to Alewife Station just down the dirt road from the magickal village of Menotomy.
He was shilling for Rudy Guiliani's nascent presidential candidacy and slavishly praising the former Mayor of New York for cleaning up with city with "a pinch of fascism" thrown in for good measure.
My Ghod, just what does a fat pompous jerk-off like Chris Matthews know about fascism anyway?
The answer is patently nothing, to the Overclass and it's apologists like Chris, fascism means "safe streets" (in white neighborhoods of course). To the rest of us fascism means too much power in the hands of those with too few scruples.
If nothing else this beautifully illustrates the DC Punditariat's persistent haughtiness when dealing in the very real and dangerous issues of power and justice.
Don't let Matthews' Overclass bona fides fool you though, he is also capable of making all sorts of foolish pseudo populist noises a'la the Ambassador from Caucasiastan, Mike Barnicle. To hear Chris tell it, Rudy Guiliani will make all of America safe for guys in wife-beaters and the drinkers of Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Insufferable and giddy that was Matthews on Rudy Guiliani.

But wait there is more, did I mention that Chris has turned against the war in Iraq?
That was a howl believe me.
Let us never forgetthat the day after Bush pranced neath' that big Mission Accomplished banner on the USS Abraham Lincoln, Matthews and Imus could be found on the air cackling like school boys about how "great" Bush looked in his borrowed flight suit.
They were both utterly repulsive Iraq triumphalists that day and now some three years later with the winds of chaos blowing ever hearder they've both drifted over to the anti-camp like tumble weeds.
Honestly I don't care if these yaps are conservative, falangist or even homicidal book idolators. The smug, the powerful, the primitive and the paranoid will always be with us their right to free speech cannot be denied.
What I do mind is the shameless opportunism of hacks like Chris Matthews who change their minds at the first change in the breeze and make great gusty pretense of being on your side all along!
In 2003, Chris Matthews would've happily cancelled democracy and crowned George Bush King-Emperor Pillar-of-Fire-on-Earth.
Never forget this, Chris Matthews is craven and untrustworthy he is a flatterer, a trimmer and a courtier not a newsman or even a pundit worth reading or watching.
