Cam Brady: [on answering machine] Hey Shana. It's congressman Cam Brady here. I just stepped away from a family dinner to tell you I wish I wasn't eating fried steak. I wish I was eating Shana pussy. Seriously, baby, you get me so hard my dick presses against my zipper and it hurts like a motherfucker. What else? Oh, hey, I got your parents tickets to The Producers.

Dave: The president and the first lady... what is that? How long has that been going on?::Duane: I can't say.::Dave: You mean, you don't know, or "you can't say"?::Duane: I can't say.
Dave: You know, I've always wondered about you guys. You know, about how you're trained to take a bullet for the president?::Duane: What about it?::Dave: Is that really true? I mean, would you let yourself be killed to save his life?::Duane: Certainly.::Dave: So, now that means you'd get killed for me too.

"Cenk Uygur (http://www.twitter.com/cenkuygur) host of The Young Turks discusses the reaction of MSNBC pundit Chris Matthews to the speech made by Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. To say Matthews is less than pleased would be an understatement. 'Quite cross' might be a very dry way to describe the reaction of MSNBC pundit Chris Matthews to the recent speech made by Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the United States Congress. He saw the speech as an attempt to sabotage and undermine the nuclear negotiations between the U.S. and it's allies and Iran. Matthews has been quoted as saying, "This man, from a foreign government, walked into the United States legislative chamber and tried to take over U.S. foreign policy." This comes at a time of already strained relations between the Israeli Prime Minister and President Obama as we approach the Israeli elections on March 17,2015." Do you agree with Matthews' opinions?

As a piece of political theater, Chris Matthews thought Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu address to Congress was a “hell of a speech.” But the MSNBC host also viewed it as a misguided “takeover attempt” by a foreign leader of U.S. policy. Speaking to Thomas Roberts shortly after Netanyahu’s speech ended, Matthews said definitively, “This man from a foreign government walked into the United States legislative chamber and tried to take over foreign policy.” “He said you should trust me, not your president on this,” Matthews continued, describing the tone of Netanyahu’s remarks. “I’m the man you should trust, I’m your true leader on this question of U.S. geopolitics. If you want to protect yourself, you must listen to me and not this president.”

This was my 12/14 interview on Hardball with Chris Matthews on MSNBC. The interview got cut short.
During his Super Bowl interview with Bill O'Reilly, President Obama continued to downplay the idea there was any "scandal" surrounding the Benghazi attacks. Republicans, of course, reacted very negatively, even going so far as to, in some cases, calling Obama a liar. Chris Matthews took on the GOP responses on Tuesday and used them to go after the conservative "Obama Derangement Syndrome." Matthews said that Benghazi has "become a code for something," and while he didn't get more specific about what that is, Eugene Robinson noted it's simply code for how much people hate Obama. Dana Milbank claimed that the crux of the Benghazi argument is about what Obama called it, mockingly saying "it doesn't matter if he called it a ham sandwich!" He added, "To have a cover-up there has to be something you're covering up." Matthews brought up his past clashes with Republicans and said Obama Derangement Syndrome has just gone off the rails; so much, so, Robinson said, it's morphed into this weird "denial of the fact that the American people voted for him twice."

Toronto Sun 2015-03-27Christopher John "Chris" Matthews (born December 17, 1945) is an American news anchor and political commentator known for his nightly hour-long talk show, Hardball with Chris Matthews, which is televised on the American cable television channel MSNBC. On weekends he hosts the syndicated NBC News–produced panel discussion program The Chris Matthews Show. Matthews makes frequent appearances on many other NBC and MSNBC programs. On March 22, 2009, Matthews renewed the contract for Hardball with Chris Matthews through 2012.
Matthews was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Irish American parents and is a Roman Catholic. He attended La Salle College High School. He is a 1967 graduate of the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts, and did graduate work in economics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Matthews served in the United States Peace Corps in Swaziland from 1968 to 1970 as a trade development adviser.
When Matthews first arrived in Washington, D.C., he worked as a police officer with the United States Capitol Police. Subsequently, he served on the staffs of four Democratic members of Congress, including Senators Frank Moss and Edmund Muskie. In 1974, he mounted an unsuccessful campaign for Pennsylvania's 4th congressional district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in which he received about 24% of the vote in the primary. Matthews was a presidential speechwriter during the Carter administration and later worked for six years as a top aide to longtime Speaker of the House of Representatives Tip O'Neill, playing a direct role in many key political battles with the Reagan administration.
Richard Bruce "Dick" Cheney (born January 30, 1941) served as the 46th Vice President of the United States (2001–2009), under George W. Bush.
Born in Lincoln, Nebraska, Cheney was primarily raised in Sumner, Nebraska, and Casper, Wyoming. He began his political career as an intern for Congressman William A. Steiger, eventually working his way into the White House during the Nixon and Ford administrations, where he served the latter as White House Chief of Staff. In 1978, Cheney was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Wyoming; he was reelected five times, eventually becoming House Minority Whip. Cheney was selected to be the Secretary of Defense during the presidency of George H. W. Bush, holding the position for the majority of Bush's term. During this time, Cheney oversaw the 1991 Operation Desert Storm, among other actions.
Out of office during the Clinton presidency, Cheney was chairman and CEO of Halliburton Company from 1995 to 2000.
Cheney was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, the son of Marjorie Lorraine (née Dickey) and Richard Herbert Cheney. He is of predominantly English, as well as Welsh, Irish, and French Huguenot, ancestry; Cheney's 8th great-grandfather, William Cheney, immigrated from England to Massachusetts in the 17th century. Although not a direct descendant, he is collaterally related to Benjamin Pierce Cheney (1815–1895), the early American expressman. Cheney is a very distant cousin of both Harry S. Truman and Barack Obama; the three share a common ancestor in Mareen Duvall, a Huguenot who fled from France to England in the 17th century and later settled in Maryland. His father was a soil conservation agent for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and his mother was a softball star in the 1930s; Cheney was one of three children.
Ronald Ernest "Ron" Paul (born August 20, 1935) is an American politician who has been the U.S. Representative for Texas's 14th congressional district, which includes Galveston, since 1997, and a three-time candidate for President of the United States, as a Libertarian in 1988 and as a Republican in 2008 and currently 2012. He is an outspoken critic of American foreign and monetary policies, including the Military–industrial complex and the Federal Reserve, and is known for his libertarian-leaning views, often differing from his own party on certain issues.
A native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Paul is a graduate of Gettysburg College and Duke University School of Medicine, where he earned his medical degree. He served as a medical officer in the United States Air Force from 1963 until 1968. He worked as an obstetrician-gynecologist from the 1960s to the 1980s, delivering more than 4,000 babies. He became the first Representative in history to serve concurrently with a child in the Senate when his son Rand Paul was elected to the United States Senate for Kentucky in 2010.
