Ellen Degeneres Deconstructs Chris Matthews' Dancing And Breast Grab

Chris Matthews showed up on Ellen Wednesday wearing his dancing shoes. After some shuffling and arm moves, he swung host Ellen around, grabbed her boob and near-tackled her to the beat. On Thursday, instead of doing a monologues, Ellen did a moment-by-moment dissection of what went down. She even had a pointer and freeze frames. It seems Chris was nervous, she didn't want him falling down the stairs and now she pretty much never wants to see him again.

Don't flatter yourself Ellen. That's no grab. Let's not pretend the nipple was really involved.

A howeling hoot my sister!

Chris Matthews is one of those folks that shames his mother and his dog, ... and swears them both to secrecy. Philadelphia has a bench warrant out on his sorry ass for being a perverted son of brotherly love. What a dingly dongle piece of shit he seems to love to become when he gets out of his cage, eh?

Invite Rachel Maddow or me, or my sister next time. Chris is a simpleton perv from a bad neighborhood that we should have told you about long ago. The Chamber of Commerce is correcting any misimpressions he might have left on your breasts, ... I mean on your mind, about the way Philadelphia FEELS about you. Shit, ... can't quite get it right!

Can't we just send you a cheese steak or soft pretzel to make it up to you? For now, ... if it is okay with you, ... we have some of our boys in 30th Street Station watching out for his sorry ass for bein' so rude and ungracious to you, ... 'Zat okay:?

Come' on, Ellen, ... you gotta understan' what it means to Philly when a gal like yerself trashes us jus' cuz a groper like Matthews cums on ya show and makes a fool of hisself. We got a million like him in every bar from da Schulkill to da Delaware, ... and women are payin' covers to get dat kinda treatment, ... even durin' Holy Week, ... well maybe they don't care for it dat much.

Hey look, ... been great to talk to ya', ... "stay in touch", ... no offense intended, ...

Love ya babes,
Gumba Da Bush!

Ellen will probably do Chris Matthews tomorrow too.

Note to dorky, creepy old white guys (are you listening, Karl Rove?): STOP TRYING TO ACT COOL! You are not fooling or impressing anyone. If you know you can't dance, don't attempt it, please! You make a fool of yourself and you nauseate the rest of us.

I remember when there used to be a thing called dignity in this country. I miss that.

[Seattlelite]

Oh give it a break -- has this country lost all sense of humor ? For goodness sake lighten up. This was funny nothing more than that. Why is it some people have to find fault in everything? I thank Chris and Ellen for for making me laugh. People who some how find this not funny need to read the book "don't sweat the small suff" great author. Every aspect of your life doesn't have to be so serious. People who can't find humor are not welcome at parties.

[FloridaDem]

I agree. Lighten up everyone. That was very funny.

[charlot]

I happen to have a great sense of humor, thank you very much, and I did laugh---AT Chris Matthews because he is creepy. And I laughed WITH Ellen because she handled it with great humor and grace (inasmuch as was possible in that situation), as she always does.
There's just something about lily-white dorky middle-aged guys trying to act cool that makes me cringe, that's all. I think it was just awkward and clumsy and foolish of him to attempt to be cool when he is so obviously not even on the cool spectrum. He's like Tom Willis from "The Jeffersons­." Chronically unhip.

[PDXTransplant]

Ellen's the best!! So down to earth.

[Seattlelite]

Ellen, is one of the best comics in our times. Hard to believe that not so long ago her show was canceled because she's a Lesbian. But Ellen like many who are cast aside because "they are different" just pushed on and prevailed YOU GO ELLEN!

[SGreen]

When she replays at the end by removing the context and other parts, Chris Matthews turns out to be saying he plans to rape her , "I''m gonna do Ellen Degeneres tomorrow." This is a subtle jab at how Right Wing media twisted Wright's speech.

[WaveFunction]

I don't think you've been paying attention to Chris Matthews lately, but he has a veritable mancrush on Obama as far as I can tell and his discussions about Wright's speech have been as fairminded as one can expect from a pundit. Yes, Matthews can be crazy sometimes, but there are many more deplorable pundits on the 24 hour news networks. I actually happen to enjoy Hardball.

As for this clip, Chris Matthews played Ellen's play-by-play today on his show too - it's refreshing to see someone who can laugh at himself. As awkward and embarassing as that was to watch, I can't imagine how embarassing it was to participate in for both Ellen and Chris.

[mlaiuppa]

When was the last time Chris Matthews danced? 30 years ago?

Nice to see him on the receiving end.

Ellen will have dinner on this clip for a long time. Bet it recurs on her show for quite a while.

[Seattlelite]

I give Chris credit, that's what is missing in our society, people can't take the mickey out of "themselves" (English term).

[Knowledgeseeker]

Very Funny...
I hope he learn something from this, If you can't dance don't try

[snruB]

LOL

He looks like such a libertine in that freeze frame

[Tyrione]

Cop a feel on a lesbian. Well that's one way to get out of his crusty lifestyle.

[MikeMidCity]

A variation on his famous man crushes maybe?

[TheShadow]

Matthews dancing and accidental breast touch matches his political punditry: Poor mental footwork analysis, and chock full of cheap thrills.
It's true what some say: White men really can't dance!

[NoSillyName]

Hysterical!! I love Ellen. Really LOL!

[umichigan]

I loved it!! Also, when he announced the day before that he was going to be on her show and dance Andrea Mitchell said to him with an amazed voice and look-" YOU ARE GOING TO DANCE?'
so she must have been somewhat aware of his lack of dancing abilities somewhat. What a hoot!!

[preatorius]

Chris is hot!

[Seattlelite]

DITTO Chris is one of those guys who fits in where ever he goes. Not serious to the point he takes himself to serious. Go Chris!

[1differentdrummer]

Urrp.

[kellygrrrl]

you call that "dancing" ????

oh, hell no!!!!!

[booker52]

Better then Tucker!
