TWO MEDIA WHORES

Chris Matthews and Tim Russert are somewhat sickening. They have made it big by right-wing apple-polishing, sucking-up, and kneeling with their tongues out, waiting for people like Ann Coulter and Ken Mehlman to drop in.

Both of these rats started out with democrats, Chris with Tip O'Neil, and Russert with Daniel Moynihan. When Nazi General Electric grabbed NBC, Jack Welch, head of the company, called both Chris and Tim in and asked, "You want to make it big, dump your beliefs and become an ass-kisser -- that's how we make it on this side of the aisle."

The game at NBC is, of course, to cover George W. Bush as he trashes America. Welch has retired to the golf course, hoping his prostate gland cancer doesn't kill him. Cynics refer to Matthews as "Tweety." I don't know what they call Russert. Timbutt, I guess. Matthews is on MSNBC playing "Hardball" and Russert kisses Repug ass on "Meet The Press." Both are as phony as a three-dollar bill.

Matthews has panels on his show manned by only right-wing nuts preaching the gospel according to Joe Goebbels. Russert has people on who're connected to his son, and likes to pat his own back every chance he gets.

Cable news is an electronic National Esquire.
