I’ve never watched Hardball. Couple of reasons. I don’t watch MSNBC for one thing. I don’t watch Chris Mathews for another. And, of course, all that comes together on Hardball. Or it did.
Chris Mathews left the show this week. From what I hear — or read, because I didn’t watch any videos or anything — he announced he was leaving, then went to commercial, and was gone when they came back from commercial.
He officially was left because of his treatment of women over time, but you and I both know that’s not why he left the show. It was because he went off the reservation regarding the left’s agenda pushing socialism.
As long as he toted the water for the hard left, they ignored his treatment of women. But, as soon as he didn’t toe the line, he was out the door.
And that’s one of the problems of the left. They don’t care what you do as long as you promote their cause. But turn away from the hard left just a little bit and your ass is grass, and they’re the lawn mower.
Stray just a little bit, and the left plays Hardball.

Makes me laugh every time.
Mostly because I love watching the nomeklatura get unpersoned.
It’s called “por encourage les autres” Matthews was expendable,and mostly irrelevant anyway, so he makes a teachable moment.
Looks like another case of the Bolsheviks versus Mensheviks. Bolsheviks: 7, Mensheviks: nothing. You see Chris…it can be done!
I’m not sure. I think another, bigger shoe was about to drop and he agreed to bail out if MSNBC buried it.
He didn’t retire. He was finally unable to keep his disgusting behaviour hidden from the hoi polloi and he got thrown under the bus. I bet that his severance was a huge amount of money though. He’ll lay low for a few months and crawl out from under the rock and he’ll be their little darling again.
He worked for Carter
Didn’t much work for Carter.
