Chris Matthews Confuses Barack Obama And Osama Bin Laden Once Again

Talking about the flap over The New Yorker's controversial cover featuring Barack and Michelle Obama, Chris Matthews slipped up -- once again -- and said "Osama Bin Laden" when he meant to say "Barack Obama." Matthews quickly caught and corrected himself.

The same people who believed this is a "slip of the tongue" still believe in weapons of mass destruction and the tooth fairy.

I can't get past his daily slobbering all over himself. My dogs look at the TV screen in amazement sometimes. He needs medication or something. His guests have to wear rain jackets when they sit at his desk.

Too old for TV

Okay Chris Matthews - I'm now offcially done with you and your show.

I have come to the realization that this is part of Chris's schtick, he is a follower of the media not a leader and this is why he will never be in the league of a Russert, Olbermann, Maddow or Todd. He asks a question and refuses to listen. I watched this segment for literally five minutes and after he let the guy, with glasses, go on to describe the sattire as truth with no follow up I changed the station. Chris is just too painful to watch.

Poor Matthews - too much sun during his vacation.

Rookie

[AnnieinOR]

perhaps he's suffering from what's going around the mccain camp as well -

[SolontheDemocrat]

I think Matthews just screws up--nothing intentional--but he just acts kooky with his stereotypes of Americans and his misstatements of facts.

[bascombe]

a sterling example of professional journalism

these days anyway.
