Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Matthews is such a balloon-head that he doesn’t realize that being a balloon-head and a prick at the same time is a dangerous combination.
[And, yes, my comment was inspired by Glenn Beck’s “pinhead” commentary.]
Gold!
And it was only a few days ago that some other bloviating idiot (whose name I’ve already forgotten and I’d like to keep it that way) lost his job on one of the big MSM tv networks. Do ya think this idiot could be next?
Beautiful. Typical leftist moron. Probably thinks the Suez is near Buffalo, New York.
The unfortunate thing is the misplaced Panama Canel remark will be viewed more on SDA than on MSNBC. However the MSNBC brain trust has to be watching SDA to see how the news needs to be presented. So yes Louise; I also think this latest example of Mathews ignorance will also move him closer to the door. Cheers
And Mathews comments about the US dollar being replaced by an unknown currency needs to be replayed many, many times over when the not-so-secret AMERO is unveiled, replacing the Canadian/US/Mexican currencies and rolling them into one.
The papers are signed, sealed and all they are waiting for is the delivery.
Chris Mathews should do some investigative work and stop reading the same teleprompter like his boss, the POTUS!
And that, ladies and gentleman, is how you play hardball.
Apparently.
It is possible that Mathews has syphilis. That would explain the tingle up his leg and also the Panama Canal gaff as syphilis destroys the brain-which is quite evident with him.
The MSM has a problem…Do the Democrats want to go into 2012 will the same talking heads that 70% of America doesn’t trust and whose opinion was rejected in the election….I expect “The Power” will want a clean house.. Failure has no rewards..
The same old is really OLD.. Nobody cares what the Progressives (like Mathews) of NBC, ABC or CBS think. They are all past thier due date..
Well, as much as I think Matthews is an idiot, I can forgivbe him for an inadvertent misstatement. He later corrected it to “Suez”.
My guess is that staffers hurredly scribbled “Suez Canal” on a piece of paper and, off camera, held it up for him.
He’s just a dumb blond.
You see when Matthews says things like the Panama Canal is in Egypt, he has merely misspoken. When Sara Palin is being impersonated by Tina Fey on SNL who says “I can see Russia from my house” it is proof she is a moron.
The mind of a leftist is a strange and wondrous thing.
Okay, so Chris Matthews says “Panama” instead of “Suez”, then corrects himself. Is that it?
With Olbermann gone they may still keep “blondie”.
After all, every village has their idiot.
Not quite, Oliver. Matthews called Michele Bachmann a “balloonhead” yesterday (I think it was). Now if she, or, heaven help us, Palin had made a similar slip – like fubbing “North” and “South” Korea, when it was perfectly clear from the context that it was nothing but a slip – here it is, in youtube video helpfully pointing out what a dumb morony moron she is, ohmygod she’ssostupid!!! –

– if Bachman or Palin had made a similar slip Matthews would be guffawing about those dumb bimbos.
And I agree with Bruce, it sounds like he was corrected by a staff member, in his earphone or with a sign held up off camera.
Clearer?
“Bruce at January 30, 2011 4:17 AM”
Bruce has it right, it appears to be an error. I couldn’t hate Matthews any more than I do without being charged with a hate crime, but I doubt he thinks the Panama Canal is in Egypt.
Making a deal out of it is exactly what they do to Sarah and Michelle. I don’t know that I would go that level for a laugh.
The left does enough to embarrass itself without including their oral gaffes.
Let me prove my point. Here is a thought from the number two man in the country.
“Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is not a dictator and shouldn’t step aside in the face of mounting protests against his nearly 30-year rule.”
That was not a gaffe, that was pure incompetence and stupidity. Joe is also gaffe prone, but no one seems to care much about that.
“Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is not a dictator and shouldn’t step aside in the face of mounting protests against his nearly 30-year rule.”
You sure about that Abe? Biden was brought on board because of his international creds unlike Oblamebush who had no international experience.
Obviously Chris Matthews does not know much about the Founding Fathers and the laws about slavery, in the late 1700s. Selling people was a racket in those days – before farmers and manufacturers had machinery – the Russians had serfs, the British/Northern States of America had indentured servants and African slaves. Mary Lincoln owned slaves as did Mr. Grant’s wife.
African rulers had slaves and they sold them to European slavers. The Spanish/British/French/Dutch/Portuguese imported African slaves to work in their ‘colonies’. The Founding Fathers were up against a coalition of pro slave foreign countries. Chris and many other feeble minded people cannot comprehend living in any time period but 2011.
Abe, if someone pays you millions for calling other people “stupid” on air, then you’d better be goddamned perfect in every word you utter.
Chris Matthews – Super Freak.
I know, Kate.
Calling the canal Panama instead of Suez is exactly the same as vociferously insisting that the Founding Fathers worked to end slavery till they were sure it was ended.
Yeppers.
re. jay forbes
Judge for yourselves:
http://www.nowpublic.com/world/michelle-bachmann-founding-fathers-ended-slavery-speech-video-2751047.html
Bachmann was delivering a long speech. She slipped a little (although she doesn’t in fact refer to John Quincy Adams as a “Founding Father”; she calls him one of “our forebears”,) but does anyone really think she believes that Thomas Jefferson fought in the Civil War or something? Her meaning, that the Founders intended the abolition of slavery, is perfectly clear.
Good catch Black Mamba.
Wonder how Matthews would have handled Iggy in this situation:
http://thealbertaardvark.blogspot.com/2011/01/ctvgate-ctv-cuts-2-seconds-out-of.html
What jay doesn’t get, of course, is the complete anal hypocracy of media.
Black Mamba – of course she( Michell Bachmann) did -you have a long attention span – MATTHEWS DOES NOT – he has the attention span of a spoiled two year old waiting for an ice cream cone. He is one nasty piece of work; I wonder if he knows how he smears himself with his own spewing? A regular person feels sick and dirty after watching him.
Nobody has asked him how he ‘feels’ about the slave women in the Middle East. He never mentions them. Would we get the same gallon of vitriol for those poor souls? Slavery in the gulags of the Soviet Union, slaves in China…the guy has plenty of fodder but he never mentions the egregious practise anywhere but in pre Civil War American South. Selective facts.
