A Letter to The Panel of The Chris Matthews Show
Dear Sirs and Madams,
Much internet hubaloo has gone on over your dismissal of the attorney-gate. I didn't make it all the way though the show the first time around... I had to venture over to the more bipartisan and fair musings of one George Will. But having watched it again, I am perturbed.
Mostly, I am upset at one Norah O'Donnell. (Or Noran, as she is referred in smarter quarters.) Look, lady, I'm sure you talk to a lot of people in DC. I'm sure all of you go to cocktail parties and weenie roasts and tailgates and whatever the hell else you people do.
But you don't speak for us. Nobody elected you, but beyond that, we never trusted you, either. Just because you don't care about it doesn't mean the ENTIRE rest of the country doesn't care about it. You're not there to CARE. It's an issue and you are supposed to report on it in some fashion or another. But I don't give a hoot about what all of you preening peacocks care about, okay?
You all drooled in the 90s over Congressmen shooting pumpkins and Christmas card lists and stained dresses. Because you didn't like Bill Clinton. He just wasn't your type of guy. You didn't care for him. But you like Bush, or at least, you feel he's more... cocktail party amendable. I don't know what you see in him. It's like the friend with the boyfriend that beats her and sleeps with the cocktail waitress. We see that you're being used, but you keep staring at the bulge in his flight suit.
To recap: Don't tell us what to care about. You have been derelict in your duties for years. Every new Bush escapade that comes to light the Washington MSM treats either as a complete suprise, a complete affront or a complete insult to their dignity. Put the pieces together. Stop sipping on your cocktail and nibbling at the weenie.
And if you can't do that, in the words of the glorious Henry Rollins concerning Ann Coulter, then just shut the fuck up.
Sincerely,
Angry Viewer #5252
