The Chris Matthews Show - August 9, 2009

*******************

Matthews: OMG Republicans say Obama was born in a Muslim area of Kenya

Heileman: wow!

Matthews: did Obama open the door to being called a muslim-racist by nominating Sonia Sotomayor and saying Harvard professors shouldn’t be arrested for being falsely accused of burglary?

Heileman: Yes Obama gave his critics a permission slip to being called Adolf Hitler

Stengel: all these crazy slurs are the fault of the internet, YouTube, and Twitter - it’s the Heisenberg principle - when you view them you realize they are batshit insane

Parker: calm down - one guy creates a picture of Obama with a bone in his nose and suddenly everyone makes a big deal about it

Matthews: what are the cute little crackers in the south saying Kathleen?

Parker: People in the south are not racist - they just hate Obama because he’s black and call him a nigger

Matthews: that makes sense

Regan: Because unemployment is 9.4% people suddenly realized Obama is black

Heileman: Obama just can’t create a positive message for health care reform since people are out there screaming about how wonderful insurance bureaucrats are

Stengel: people love their health insurance - they don’t like Obama

Matthews: but if we have unemployment shouldn’t health reform be popular?

Parker: yes but we have a bad economy so naturally people don’t cheaper and better health care

Heileman: exactly people are terrified of losing their current health care so they don’t want the system reformed

Matthews: ah of course

Matthews: are the Iroquois going to go after Obama??

Heileman: people are angry at losing their jobsm health care and position in the world and they are taking their anger out on Barack Obama

Parker: they crazies are running the Republican party - it’s their baby now

Matthews: what happens when Obama fails on the economy - will they claim he’s from another planet?

Regan: I got a head’s up - they will argue he’s another species

Stengel: i don’t think he’s going to fail on the economy Chris

Matthews: Nixon / Palin 2012!

Stengel: Nixon was the awesomest guy ever - which proves that Obama can overcome the scandals in his past - such as being born in a radical British Indonesian muslim cult in the Congo

Parker: Nixon had great dignity like Sarah Palin - they both quit for the good of the country

Matthews: Bill Clinton is going to be a balloon in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade!

Regan: the image of Clinton saving those girls in Korea it made me cry and then I remembered the blowjob and I hated him again

Matthews: can the Clintons ever come back to political success?

Heileman: um she’s the U.S. Secretary of State and Alaska his going to be renamed ‘Clintonland’

Matthews: who was a better President - Nixon or Clinton?

Parker: Nixon because he opened China and helped usher in a wonderful new era of burglaries, bugging, firebombing and murder

Heileman: exactly - how can the Clenis compete with that?

Matthews: tell me something I don’t know!

Regan: Obama has saved the economy - now I’m worried inflation is going to be out of control

Stengel: Obama is an obsessive and honest golfer

Parker: Palin is going win the nomination which scares Democrats and terrifies Republicans

Heileman: New York Governor Paterson will not run again

Matthews: why not?

Heileman: Because Andy Cuomo is widely disliked but the guy has balls of steel
