Tingle Up My Leg Award for Cable News »

Fox Cable News reduces its competitors to Lilliputs, who in this reference to Gulliver’s Travels, have been unable to catch Fox sleeping long enough to tie it down.
Instead, Fox is the winner of my Tingle Up My Leg Award, named for MSNBC’s Chris “Tweety” Matthews. Unfortunately for Tweety, his show commands [...]

Chris Tingle Thinks McCain Bought a “Mail-Order Bride” »

This astonishing exchange is from March 30th’s Hardball with Chris Matthews. Matthews, who believes we live a “post-feminist” world, also believes in a world where women are objects of exchange, and flesh is for sale:

MATTHEWS: You’re a great reporter, Howard - I’m going to set you up. You are a great reporter. You are the [...]

Chris Tingle Features Historic Moments in Television »

Many of you are too young to know a world without television. I remember our first TV vividly, and the one channel (NBC) that we could get, until late in my high school years, we also got ABC. I watch Hardball for research purposes (and for occasional great guests like this author) but regardless [...]

March Madness Continues. It’s Round Two in Our Tournament to Determine the Biggest Ass on the American Political Landscape. »

It was everything you would expect from the first round of a March Madness Tournament. Upsets, buzzer beaters, overtime and blowouts. Hard fouls, sharp elbows, long distance bombs and Larry Craig’s legendary wide stance. The battle for the No Quarter Trophy is underway. One National Champion will be named. The [...]

Bernard Goldberg Tells It Like It Is »

I would like to share with you this interesting article, courtesy of “I’m A Linda Too,” a regular reader here at No Quarter yesterday. It is quite something. A bit late in coming, perhaps, but hey, better late than never, right? The title pretty much gives it away: Media Critic Blasts Chris [...]

And the “Thrill-Up-My-Leg Award” Goes To…. »

With rare and scattered exceptions, Chris “Tweety” Matthews was not kind to Hillary (or Bill) Clinton. His rude remarks were childish and reeked with suppressed envy. Meanwhile, Matthews gushed over Barack Obama like a love-sick teenager. On February 12, 2008, he made this astounding admission:
“I have to tell you, you know, [...]

The Honeymoon Continues »

I came across this article on Tuesday by Jonah Goldberg, “Day 15 of Obama’s honeymoon“: One doesn’t have to break a sweat searching for examples of the news media’s ongoing love affair with our president. In this, he is like FDR. I have to say, on some levels it was reassuring. Apparently, the [...]

Why Is Anyone Surprised By »

This:

Obama’s speechwriter, Jon Favreau, demonstrating who he, and so many of those associated with Obama, is: a misogynistic, juvenile pig who has disrespected the Former First Lady of Arkansas, a Top 100 Attorneys in the United States TWICE, the former First Lady of the United States, a two term US Senator, the RIGHTFUL Democratic presidential [...]

“Elevation” »

The other day, I posted a fun piece with the help of The Onion, my favorite site for lightening things up a bit. As a result, alert NQ reader, AF Catfish, provided me with the following article. It is not from The Onion, or even from Mad Magazine, but it could be. [...]

Tweety’s hubris and Thank Heaven for Jon Stewart »

As you probably know, Tweety is either getting ready to run for a Senate seat in PA or just trying to squeeze more dollars out of MSNBC. Now this is really a “revoltin development.” Politico had this to say:
If Matthews is serious about running, some within the network hope he commits to the [...]

Clinton Derangement Syndrome: It’s just like herpes. Incurable and can rear its ugly head at any time. »

“Barack Obama has superior judgment.” If the Detroit ‘Big Three’ had a dollar for every time a derivative of that phrase was uttered over the last two years, no bailout would be necessary. Not even the automakers could blow through that amount of cash.
The President-elect’s brilliance was the number one reason we were [...]

Chris Matthews and Chris Hitchens: Misogyny Squared, Hypocrisy Cubed »

I had the supreme misfortune of watching the ever moronic, self-important Mr. Tingle-Up-His-Leg-Matthews interview Chris Hitchens of Vanity Fair, and Peter Beinart of Time Magazine in reference to the buzz about Senator Hillary Clinton being offered the position of Secretary of State in Barack Obama’s incoming administration.
Let’s put it this way, one should never watch [...]

The Sexism Continues… »

The headline on the MSN homepage (via MSNBC) declares, “Dem sources: Clinton to help wife get State job.”
This headline refers to the fact that President Clinton is disclosing his financial records and those of his charitable work. But the sexist opportunity was too good for MSNBC to pass up. President Clinton is not helping his [...]

Has Hillary (OR BILL) Been Vetted Enough?? »

(bumped up by NoQuarter) Well, you all know where I stand on the Hillary as Secretary of State thing. I think she would be brilliant, probably the best SoS in the history of Secretaries of States. Presumably, though, those Secretaries of State could trust (more or less) the president whom they served. [...]

Open Thread * Tie Your Hands Behind Your Back Before … [Update With The Best News!] »

… you view this video. I am afraid what you might do to your computer or your monitor if you view this exchange on Hardball, unless you’ve first secured your hands.
Promise me you’ve restrained your hands in some way. Okay? Now click the arrow.

I know, I know … it’s disgusting and reprehensible.
UPDATE [...]

Media tells stories THEY want to tell to people they don’t respect. »

I think we make a mistake when we media consumers get angry over poor coverage or bad reporting of people or topics of interest. We assume that those doing the reporting simply don’t understand the topic or dislike the person. Maybe, maybe not. But I do think the media in general exhibit [...]

News on Chris Matthews’ Leg »

As if it hasn’t been obvious for months, Chris Matthews declares that his job is help Barack Obama:
