Self-Awareness Blackout

by digby

Tweety’s very upset at the horrible way the Mexican audience treated Miss USA last night at the Miss Universe pageant. (Those people are so ungrateful…) He got especially upset with MSNBC for showing the footage of her falling on stage on a loop:

“Can we stop this joke, please? Let’s stop… Somebody doesn’t like women or something. Anyway — Bill and Hillary Clinton made the cover of this week’s Weekly Standard calls the Clinton’s a riveting saga of lust and ambition. It’s all about the two books that have come out….”

This on the heels of his Saturday show which John Amato describes this way:

Chris Matthews just can’t get enough of Bill & Hillary. He dedicated most of his Saturday Show to the new books that the Washington Post put up on their front page. Somerby will have a field day with this one if he does post about it. Josephine Hearn downplays Tweety’s obsession and says the best that Carl Bernstein could come up with after eight years was that she’s controlling. That didn’t stop his lust for Hillary…When Gloria Borger referenced the Godfather movie, Chris dug deep into the screenplay by labeling Hillary Clinton as having: “Luca Brasi behavior.”

Go to the link if you can stomach watching Matthews go into his full-on slavering Hillary obsession. I’m not sure if he mentioned it in this segment, but he’s especially unhappy that Hillary is “targetting the girls” and that she speaks in a grating voice that no man is going to be able to vote for. He’s right about one thing: “somebody” doesn’t like women or something.

And yes, Somerby has a lot to say about this, starting with Matthews’ breathless wall to wall coverage of the two books last Friday.
