Chris Matthews vs. Pat Buchanan On Sarah Palin In MSNBC Round 5

Chris Matthews and Pat Buchanan took MSNBC's infighting into Round 5 Thursday afternoon on "Hardball."

When Buchanan mentioned how America should be proud of Sarah Palin as a woman, Matthews asked, "When did you become Dr. Phil?"

"After weeks of crocodile tears over Hillary Clinton, now you've become the foster father of all women politicians," he continued.

Matthews then demanded that Buchanan name a single out-of-line question Palin had received, reminding him of the show's name. When Buchanan cited questions about Palin's family life, Matthews lit up over the Republican right's treatment of the Clinton family life, and a colorful argument ensued.

"What's your problem with strong women, buddy?" Buchanan asked. "The MS in MSNBC should not stand for misogyny."

That was great. Good points scored by both sides. Matthews has a lot to answer for his crappy treatment of Hillary.

[Busterdawg]

Amen to that!

I find it pretty amazing that people in the media are stilling asking that when is a mother of 5, with one of the 5 being a special needs child, going to find the time to carry out the duties of VP. They NEVER ask about a man... ever.

[NHGranite]

Tell me which presidential candidate, or president for that matter, had those duties?

[Kim445588]

I personally think we did ask. I questioned the judgement of Edwards running with two small kids and a terminally ill wife.

Poor Chrissy. If he wasn't such a tool, I'd almost feel sorry for him.

He and Bathtub Boy are going to need a long vacation after this week.

This is the same Buchanan that gave that Culture Wars speech in '92. WEAK

It was funny too.
