Did I Mention That Chris Matthews Is An !#$%^&*?

I'm sure I must have some time in the past nine months.

But just in case, here's yet another example of why he's an !#$%^&*:

Hours before Terri Schiavo died yesterday, MSNBC Hardball host Chris Matthews said that he thought her father, Robert Schindler, was "having a good time" as his daughter starved."

"The father seems to be having, I hate to say this, a good time. I don't know why, maybe it's the focus, maybe he's giddy with sadness of the tragedy that has been going on for so long."

I don't know that any sane, decent man could "have a good time" while he had to watch helplessly while his scumbag son-in-law and two shyster accomplices slowly tortured his daughter to death right in front of his eyes. I do know that in every picture I saw of Robert Schindler, his melancholy was palpable. I also know that no man who could sneeringly ridicule Robert Schindler in his time of greatest anguish could possibly be described as sane and decent.

What probably would provide Robert Schindler with "a good time" would be for two big, strong men to hold Chris Matthews down so that Schindler could beat him unconscious.

Would probably make a killing on pay-per-view. I know I'd be watching.

Matthews also said that a nurse who cared for Schiavo and who claimed that she could eat normally was making it up.

"We have a nurse who says that she fed her ice cream, milkshakes, and puddings," the TV host told Imus.

"And we know from the doctors that she's incapable of eating anything like that stuff, given the fact that they have to feed her through tubes. ... We're learning how history gets written, and there's a lot of people that just don't tell the truth."

Ah - kind of like the Big Media pollsters who completely misrepresented Terri Schiavo's condition to respondents in order to produce the numbers they sought depicting public opinion as being pro-euthanasia.

John Zogby did that same poll, only without the despicable distortions.

"If a disabled person is not terminally ill, not in a coma, and not being kept alive on life support, and they have no written directive, should or should they not be denied food and water," the poll asked.

A whopping 79% said the patient should not have food and water taken away while just 9% said yes.

I doubt that accurate polling numbers would have prevented Terri Schiavo's murder. But they might help prevent her victimization from being repeated against anybody else.

I'm guessing Chris Matthews thinks Zogby just "made it up." Probably also that the same man who was in the tank for John Kerry last year clear back in the Democrat primaries has now become a snake-handling, holy-roller redneck. And, you know, those people "just don't tell the truth," and "have a good time" watching their loved ones wither away to dust by court order.

Did I mention that Chris Matthews is also a *&^%$#! ? Hafta put that in my daytimer....
