Chris Matthews PIMP SLAPS Joe and Mika

[Tippersnore]

These guys deserve to be pimp slapped now and then. Have you heard them put down Schenectady NY for the umpteenth time. MSNBC is owned by Schenectady's own GE and has made a great comeback form hard times in the 1970s and 1980s. TV was first publically broadcast there at the Proctor Theater and the local college scene is impressive. Morning Blow and Mammalia Eye Candy Mika ought to take a drive up the Hudson Valley and see the state they work in outside of the Rock studio. I agree with Matthews.

[ttom4601]

some times I think Mika is the only honest dem in the country that never heard the word lockstep. I don't allways agree with you Mika but you are honest and not afraid to veer off the reservation. even though I mostly side with Joe and Pat I like her and respect her. plus you have good genes, your dad is very smart. sorry, your mom must be smart to. you guys do a great job in the morning. Thanks and yes I am one of those terrible conservatives.

[joekiddlouischama]

@ttom4601 Let me note that I like Scarborough well enough, even when I disagree with him and even with his myriad flaws. But I don't believe that Ms. Brzezinski is simply an independent thinker. She's independent to a degree, but much of her "independence" comes from following Scarborough's lead and supporting his train of thought like a personal cheerleader.

[ttom4601]

Mika he is saying your a woman who is being sucked in by Joe. Mr king liberal didn't want you on the other side of his argument pure and simple a sexest remark if anyone other than an Obama supporter heard it. what a god dam hypocrite. this clown is spirally headed down. watch out Chris big Keith is coming, and you know he can kick your girlie ass.

[joekiddlouischama]

@ttom4601 Matthews realized that rather than speaking out of conviction, Ms. Brzezinski was merely following Scarborough's line and projecting some spurious sense of perfect neutrality. In other words, Matthews saw the soft spot and went for the kill.

By the way, Matthews voted for George W. Bush in 2000 and Michael Steele in 2006, not exactly the patterns of a "king liberal."

[joekiddlouischama]

@joekiddlouischama Consider some of Ms. Brzezinski's comments here: "I'm not sure it can be 'get done'" and "I just think we got to be careful with the conversation." "Careful with the conversation"? What is that statement supposed to mean? It reflects an artificial sense of neutrality and a holier-than-thou attitude and Matthews is correct that her analogy proves shallow.

[joekiddlouischama]

@joekiddlouischama There is a fair point behind her comments, but she was being wishy-washy and irresolute rather than speaking from conviction and Matthews called her on it.

[aberryhill0113]

Chris Matthews is so right why is it ok to spend billions of dollars in Iraq; a country that did not attack us on 9/11 but not ok to protect someone who needs heart surgery but can not afford it? Just those good old fashioned American values again I guess.

[hansumjoe]

if other 'industrialized' countries had to pay for their military instead of running to us everytime a Russkie or Muzzie runs across their border, they couldn't afford healthcare

[joekiddlouischama]

@hansumjoe What industrialized countries have recently asked us for military support? It's more like we ask them for support on our latest invasion/occupation.

[theseaandcake]

Matthews is freaking excellent!

[NastyChuck]

Chris Matthews was such an immature jackass that he made Joe and Mika look professional.

[GodfatherofSoul2004]

Joe and Mika are pathetic. Joe's a snarky, arrogant moron and Mika basically sits through the whole show staring at him likes she's waiting for Joe to ask for another BJ.

[nrunde]

I love Mika calls herself a lefty, FAR from it.

[Shiftyeyes516]

is mika a puppet? she is a brainless

[jajacko22003]

@Shiftyeyes516 you hit the nail on the head

[l1nuxun1l]

Chris Matthews is like a 12 year old girl whos wants a cell phone NOW!!!! Sorry but you need to think things through.

[iSAW7]

But, Chris Matthews is all about pussyfooting Afghanistan, lol.

[53dumey]

Mattews is an IDIOT !!!

Joe just said that he agreed with him.

Matthews gets paid 10X more than hes worth !

[DrHarryDickman]

starbucks green screen lol

[muratshawn]

Chirs Matthews again brilliant again....these 2 cunts are just selfish fucks who care about themselfs...thy do not even know what healthcare is....they get paid so much it makes no difference to them.....

Thanks Chris!!!

[topcat42]

Is this homo still getting a tingle up his leg every time Obama speaks?

[MastaBlasta22]

@muratshawn - another bitch looking for a handout lol.

[Kenshin922]

OWNED FOR THE WIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iamparacha]

Awesome Chris!!

[esb84]

Caught up with pussyfooting, LMAO Chris Matthews is the man, this dumb bitch even know what pussyfooting around means!!

[MILEGULLY]

Mika and Joe are a fine team of empty intellects.

[George91280]

Chris Matthews is sooo right. Joe is the typical Republican, WORSHIPS the allmighty dollar and wants to make sure that the Capitalist system runs at all costs at the expense of the people.

[bostonkalloway]

Mika you're caught up in the pussy foot... LMAOOO

[StationaryTransient]

Chris Matthews is out of his league when it comes to Joe, and that's coming from a pretty liberal guy here.

[SkylineTime]

Tweety never listens he just spews. Joe and Mika look so smart next to this joke.

[eyelessblonde]

Mika is on the LEFT?! Please. Who can take her seriously regardless. Stick some more botox in your face and serve as the commercial spokesperson for Starbucks. But please do help to keep denying human beings healthcare and call yourself a leftist while you are at it.

[66605]

Hey Chris, lets just pass a bill saying everyone must provide for their own health care! Then pat yourself on the back for being a great humanitarian. All the government will do is bankrupt us all. Get real.

[frellthat]

The workers of this country provide not only for themselves, but for everyone else.  They just don't get anything in return for it. 80% of the country controls only 7% of the wealth.

[66605]

If what you say is true then 80% are stupid for allowing so much control to be taken away from them. Obama is only making things worse by giving more control to the Feds. I'm against big government and corporate welfare. Both come at the expense of the common man.

[frellthat]

Control isn't being given to "the Feds", it's being given to the people. The people want public healthcare and they're going to get it. The leading cause of bankruptcy in the US is medical expenses and the people who suffer the most are the working classes.

[66605]

Ha! Public health care is some people being forced to pay the cost for others. This is happening now. When it gets even bigger we will end up with rationed care, waiting lists and worse service. You think this is what the people want?

[frellthat]

Yes. The vast majority of the population is in favor of it. Having to wait for treatment is better than no treatment at all.

And as for some being "forced" to pay for it - am I supposed to feel sorry for them? 1% of this country's population owns more wealth than the bottom 90%. It's about time they started contributing something for a change.

[66605]

So, If the"vast majority" is in favor of theft, then theft is acceptable? How about murder? The top earners already pay a disproportionate rate of taxation, yet you want even more? Who would want to live in the society you promote?

[frellthat]

The wealthy pay a disproportionate rate of taxation because they have a disproportionate rate of disposable income. And stop saying "top earners". Most people who are super rich are because their parents were. Look at George W. Bush as an example. They do not earn their wealth, they just have it.

"Who would want to live in the society you promote? "

72% of the American population.

[frellthat]

The US has the second highest poverty rate in the developed world. Children do not choose to be born to poor parents. They just are. And no one should be prevented from decent medical care just because of their class. If you need me to explain why this is wrong, you'll never understand. Thankfully, I don't need to explain it to you because the majority is already on my side. It is up to you to convince us, and so far you are doing a poor job.

[frellthat]

And yes, I want more, and I will get more. 1% of the US population has enough wealth to feed the entire world for a lifetime. You honestly want me to believe that they are OVERtaxed? Get fucking real.  No wonder you guys have lost the argument.

[yahoochatter]

Here here.

These mental bastards think that a 4% bump in top-tier taxes to stop people from fucking starving to death, is theft. You will never be able to reason with a person like that, because they have severed all ties with humanity.

[uninvolved]

I just had to log in to pimp slap you Randians with some real world logic. You make a call on the morality of taxes with words like "theft." How are taxes theft when the top 1% made their wealth by taking advantage of a society where in the cost of infrastructure is supported through taxes. They made their wealth on our backs. Strong taxes on the rich is not theft, it's called justice. Welcome to the real morality. Morons.

[66605]

You missed! The wealthy pay for infrastructure too. They already pay a disproportionate amount of taxes anyway. A just society would have all paying the same rate of taxation. So, if I make ten times as much as you, I would pay ten times as much in taxes. What is unfair about that? It is the people at the bottom who are getting the free ride. What should we do to them?

[uninvolved]

66605: I don't even know what to say. That's got to be the most stupid thing anyone has ever said, ever. Please, sit down and reflect on your comment and try to pinpoint the exact moment your syllogism broke down. It will be a good exercise for you.

[yahoochatter]

You are one of these ass-hats who believe that gay marriage will open doors to pedophilia and that the healthcare reform bill contains talk of 'death panels', don't you?

Ignoramus.

[TheThrobbingParson]

see: france

you fuck

[PAYNE227]

Joe dont get upset. we are not going to pay off the debt anyway. Why not get a good health care bill that covers everyone. Since we are not going to pay the debt why not a car for everyone and one year of free gas? We will just print some more money and borrow some. We want have to pay it will be the next generation. Heck pay off my house while you are spending.

[bbburton]

I don't want any health care bill. Matthews is full of shit.

[blacksteel25]

I'm leaning toward Joe's idea of making a bill to cut costs rather than adding more cost. Am I totally against the public option? No, but I'd like to hear more detail about it.

[jxford1]

is this the same Joe and Mika that were laughing at the DHS report on Domestic Terrorism. and then it happened. I like watching the show, But they need to get a moral Compass check up. I think Joe and Mika are wrong on this debate

[frellthat]

Joe and Mika are MSNBC's "Fox and Friends". Totally glib, superficial, mindless hacks. From the way Joe was talking, you wouldn't have thought 73% of Americans are in favor of public healthcare.

And Mika's embellishing description of herself is just shameless. Really, Mika? You criticized the Iraq war? Really?

[shellshot]

Ugh.... Chris Disgusts me...

Little smug punk. We should ask question and be critical of EVERY administration.

[landsolo]

Joe and Mika are way light on backbone on many issues.

[babycuby]

GRTEAT JOB CHRIS!!

[pegelatrin]

Wierd title :)

[Product1999]

how is it not appropriate.

[pegelatrin]

WTF is a PIMP slap?

[Product1999]

like a bitch slap.....the way Chris verbally slapped them at the end and they kind of submitted is the same say a pimp slaps his prostitute and she submits. Chris struck me as more dominant in regards to his agenda in this video.

[pegelatrin]

got it

[MastaBlasta22]

Submitted? I've never seen anyone so thickheaded not get what Joe is saying. Chris Matthews is a moron and it showed in this vid. People only thinking about now and not 10 yrs from now is how we keep getting into these messes. That's all Joe said. He said many times he was for healthcare for the uninsured, just do it the right way and don't write a check and then sign it w/out knowing WTF is in it.....like our elected officials have been doing for the last 12 yrs.

[Product1999]

Matthews wanted congress to increase the urgency factor...because people are sick and without insurance as we speak....he admits there are costs but we need to figure out how to get it done now and quickly...pussyfooting=stallin­g/procrastinating.

[joekiddlouischama]

@Product1999 ... precisely.

[medartist01]

MastaBlasta22 is a dunce. Incredible thickheaded, himself. Mastaidiot thinks that since he has health insurance, he's fine?! Moron, you could be dropped tomorrow because of a preexisting. Your premiums could be hiked on a whim by the insurance company until you cant afford the premiums, and self-drop your insurance. The cost of getting sick WITH insurance will bankrupt you! We're not even talking about the UNDERinsured yet. Or those without. MAN, you are an IDIOT. Meathead teabagger!

[MastaBlasta22]

@medartist01 - You obviously can't comprehend what I wrote, so I won't waste my time arguing w/ you lol. Go back and read my comment and you might see where I said we needed healthcare reform, just do it the right way. The way it was done wasn't the right way. What happened to change? Obama is doing politics as usual w/ the bribes and reconciliation. You're obviously too wrapped up w/ party to think for yourself. You're a true blue liberal, A.K.A a Sheep! :)

[joekiddlouischama]

@MastaBlasta22 The CBO estimates that the health care bill will decrease the deficit over the long haul. Whether that estimate proves correct or not remains to be seen, but it's better than conjecture.

And Matthews understood what Scarborough was saying. However, his point was that the legislation would only pass with dedication, not constant hedging over costs. Let's face it, Scarborough was never interested in health care, irrespective of the price.

[joekiddlouischama]

@Product1999 The title is fitting, you're right.

[Product1999]

Matthews agrees with Scarborough, but he seems to believe that a sense of urgency is missing.

[66605]

Matthews is such an idiot! A government run system will be the least efficient and end up in bankruptcy. Look at Medicare.

[patrick524555]

obama has spent 4 trillion already. were 14 trillion in debt. whats another 2 trillion. i swear these liberals are so brainwashed by obama.

[HalfLucky]

If you dont have health insurance.. thats your fault not mine. Dont make me pay for it.

Get a better job/work harder.

[Amalgamutt]

The title of this video is hilarious because the idiot got it backwards.Chris Matthews comes off as some blind idealist who won't listen to reason.The guy who posted this is obviously unable to see past his hyper-partisan blinders and needs to pull his head out of Obama's ass.

[Product1999]

or maybe the guy noticed how Matthews pushed his point in a more aggressive manner than Joe and Mika....maybe you shouldn't assume things...it makes you look like an ass.

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

The woman just sits there and doesnt get a word in :-D

And while you are on about Starbucks being promoted underhandedly .. the same thing happens here on youtube..

iPhone, Apple Store, Jet Blue, Twitter,,,,,,

[dejahthoris]

you two need to get a room

[UTubes07]

I say let the NO-CLASS NO-EXPERIENCE KENYAN-HALFER do whatever he wants to do. He will destroy the country. There will be NO OTHER DEMOCRAT president in 50 after this loon leaves office. That will teach these FANATICAL LEFTIST a lesson.

[blackie1012]

Just because you use all caps, doesn't make you look smart. Especially when you say something like this.

[UTubes07]

I don't want to "look smart" you FANATICAL IDIOT. I use FACTS, something you don't know the meaning of it.

[MiniverJD]

Cool racism, bro.

[UTubes07]

Chris Matthews PIMP SLAPS Joe and Mika? WTF? Are you really this idiot.

Joe and Mika GIVE FACTS. Matthews GIVES DREAMS just like the KENYAN-HALFER.

[04ray25number2]

Damn I thought I was going to see a real pimp slap.

Go to my channel and click on the link If you don't want a summer job or hate your job and watch TV while filling easy surveys. Is free just join. They will send you check, is not a scam, cause if you don't have to pay you 4sure will get paid.

[romangr602]

Joe and Mika look like some ass clowns! They even look more like clowns ending the segment advertising for Starbucks. Their show is a joke its like one big infomercial.

[bucnomore11]

i'd for sure pump mika.

[gmoney479]

Mika and Joe are complete idiots. Her father is a freaking genius for gods sake! They should change the name of the show from Morning Joe to Morning Blow giving the very public and degrading display she puts forward everyday.

[rrsrichard]

What an idiot Mika is, oooooh trying to get all tough when he mentions pussy footing. I guess the dumb bimbo just got caught up with the pussy aspect of the statement. As you all can see where they are, Starbucks who sponsor their show. Bunch of phonies both of them.

[sheeba11]

Go Chris!

[avibard]

Mika and Joe are pathetic. Joe acts like a blue blood who looks more like a backwoods boy. Mika is disappointing considering what her father has accomplished, and why she sucks up to Boring-Joe is proof. How could anyone watch this drivel every morning?

[BigBrightBlueBox]

Agreed completely.

[dejahthoris]

I know, even Zbigneiw told him about his stunning ignorance. Does she need the job that bad or is she just stupid? I think the latter

[DarthandDirtyCheney]

LOL, Mika is as worthless as Joe

[smathis98]

Joe, you jerk, having health insurance is not the same as having health care.

I pay $900/mo for health insurance, but to make it that "cheap," I have a $10,000 deductible. I can't afford to see a doctor so despite being insured, I can't get medical care.

How much do you pay, Joe? What's your deductible? How often do you get to see a doctor?

We the people need a break here. This is literally killing us.

[drpeaches1979]

Mika is becoming an embarrassment. Not because she agrees with Joe--because she parrots him. That's a shame.

[jm9862]

So insuring an additional 47 million people is going to lower costs? No wonder Obama was a community organizer and was given money to spend and not have to run a legitimate business.

[natesworld23]

who do you think pays for the uninsured when they go to the emergency room???????? wake up, you are on the side of the people who profit from cancer without treating it. the insurance industry has no reason to be in the healthcare field EXCEPT to profit. joe and mika are in over their heads when talking to anyone, and Chris was holding back. it woulda been better had not chris liked these two bumbling idiots.

[dejahthoris]

jm9862; In France, the Uk and Canada, which have public healthcare, they pay 2-3 k per person per yr for healthcare. You know what we pay on average in the US? 6k per person a year on average, even with 47 million totally uninsured... Also, Healthcare is the single biggest expense of our economy. More than defense, even with the wars. If we do not fix this, we cannot survive as a nation economically.

[jm9862]

Yes, we do pay when they go to the emergency room and I am all for setting up more free clinics or giving the needy a catastrophic healthcare coverage but full coverage will bankrupt america or ruine our system. It is a well known fact that if it is free people go overboard on it. If they aren't paying for it they will go for any little reason, why not?

[jm9862]

Also, Canada, France and the UK have lower survival rates for all the major diseases do to long waiting times for care and inferior care.

[dejahthoris]

I am sorry but that is just not true about survival rates. Ours is exactly on par with Cuba. Also our infant mortality is one of the highest for industrialized countries. We are 29th globally- way behind Germany, Japan, France and Sweden. These are CDC figures from Feb 2009. (my brother does health informatics for the CDC)

[jm9862]

Infant mortality rates are not related. In the US we have much older people having children then the other countries. Look at the stats for cancer and heart disease. You really are very naive to think the Gov which takes no responsibility is going to do a better job than the private industry. Look at social security or our public school system.

[tonyrich300]

Mika seems to be Joe's bitch

[Product1999]

definitely...she's there to make him feel like a big man stoke his ego, among other things.

[cornbreadjunkie]

Healthcare costs cripple... Blah blah blah. Joe is s douchebag.

If you continue to leavfe 47 million uninsured, they will continue to add to the cost that you pay for your insurance. Your emergency room will continue to be crowded as they end up there as a last resort.  That 47 million number will not be dropping without serious public action. It will be increasing.

[xdir]

I wonder if Joe has cancelled his congress healthcare? I bet he and his family have full coverage paid for by the taxpayer.

The best way to get a public option is by threatening to take healthcare away from the Congress, let them buy their own and for their families - after a few battles with the HMO's I bet even Ron Paul would support a public option.
