I can’t help but repost an earlier GretaWire posting about MS/NBC’s Chris Matthews Congresswoman Michele Bachmann moment. (What is wrong with these cable guys?) This re-posting sort of fits in with the prior postings about FNC Chris Wallace and CNN’s Eliot Spitzer.

Believe it or not, MS/NBC’s Matthews takes credit for Rep Bachmann’s success. (And yes, it is bad enough that many women do the “heavy lifting” - Matthews’ executive producer is a woman – and don’t get credit but does Matthews have to try and steal the credit?)

Below is lifted from Politico. I know some guys take credit for just about anything…but this might just top it…Chris Matthews created Bachmann??

QUOTE OF THE DAY – “Bachmann, I think we sort of created her here, so we have a sense of having launched her career from a small town called ‘Hardball,’ years ago.” -MSNBC host Chris Matthews, ahead of the New Hampshire debate

Talk about a Love/Hate relationship. We are in for a bumpy ride. I still believe we have more to enter the field. Which I think is good. It’s still
early.

He gave her national attention for being one of the first to call her out on what he calls “crazy talk”…he mentioned her practically every day on his show!

Oh i believe he said that… what nerve that man has!

She’s driving Chris Matthews crazier. He’s undoubtedly in DT’s tonight.

Lib media tried everything possible to keep her from being re-elected, sent Bozo and Bite-me there several times and her campaign contributions got larger and larger. LOL

She and Chris had a big battle along time ago on Hardball. He put her through the mill over it. I can not remember exactly what the whole thing was about right now! But I bet that is what he is talking about? It was 3-4 years ago.
Greta ask him about it? or have one of your producers do it!

He might as well take credit for creating Michelle Bachmann, he can’t take credit for creating any ratings for his show.

Man, he can take credit for being the first male journalist to have a tingle traveling up his leg for another man on live TV. That was an epic moment in his career as an unserious journalist…

Maybe Chris Matthews and Chris Wallace can both get jobs at CNN! Then they can use the “F” word, “Flake”, and Matthews can take credit for that too.

How about the little cretin at the Washington Times that did the smear piece on Bachmann today pretending she doesn’t know the difference between John Wayne and John Wayne Gacy? I used to think WT was an actual newspaper, it turns out to be a clone of MediaMatters.

Yet says not thing about obama believing we have 57 states, can’t pronounce “corpsman”, making fun of the Special Olympics, making fun of a pryer First Lady… and on and on and on… (and him being a Haaavard grad.)

“Well what I want them to know is just like John Wayne was from Waterloo, Iowa. That’s the kind of spirit that I have, too,” Bachmann told a Fox News reporter.

One small detail: John Wayne Gacy, the infamous mass murderer is from Waterloo. The Duke, although his parents met in Waterloo, is from Iowa, but from Winterset, nearly three hours away by car.”

You are an idiot..Fact

He probably did create her.

Michele Bachmann’s remarks on “Hardball” in 2008 brought a whole lot of attention to her. Bachmann said, “What I would say is that the news media should do a penetrating expose and take a look. I wish they would. I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out if they are pro-America or anti-America.”

Bachmann returned to “Hardball” a few weeks later and reiterated her statements.

I never saw Chris Matthews or heard his name before MessNBC came into being. Where did this guy work before? He is hallucinating his claim of creating Michele Bachman, just as he hallucinates that his network delivers the truth. She is so far above the bunch at MessNBC they only know her shoe size!

jazz92 ***** “She and Chris had a big battle along time ago on Hardball. He put her through the mill over it. I can not remember exactly what the whole thing was about right now! But I bet that is what he is talking about? It was 3-4 years ago.”
*************************
Michele Bachmann was a guest on “Hardball” in 2008. In addition to a whole lot of Barack and Michelle Obama bashing, Bachmann said the following …

“What I would say is that the news media should do a penetrating expose and take a look. I wish they would. I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out if they are pro-America or anti-America.”

A campaign to censure Michele Bachmann over her remarks was launched.

I don’t understand why that man is allowed to “kooty up” the airwaves with his program. He is a real piece of work. He should be removed from TV and let him stay home and take care of that tingle that runs up his leg when sees or hears Obama! That was disgusting!!

Greta, I think that Chris Wallace apologized and said he made a mistake and we go from here. If he does this kind of thing again that is another matter.
