Matthews' Ms. Steps

If MSNBC's Chris Matthews digs in his "misogynistic journalistic" 8 triple Es and refuses to apologize to yet another women's group calling for his head (and not the one attached to his terminally thrilled third leg), he may suffer from Senatus Interruptus. Not even Cialis can resurrect his political hard-on now that these irate women are regurgitating his on-air anti-women spurts to Pennsylvania Democratic honchos.

LA Times to Jeff "Editorial Page" Zucker: "If Matthews were an employee in a Fortune 500 company, he would have been fired for sexual harassment long ago. Instead, MSNBC peddled misogynistic journalism to the American public."Compiling a list of actions that it deemed offensive, The New Agenda [nonpartisan] wrote that the "Hardball" host a couple of years asked if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would "castrate" a fellow Democrat with whom she had feuded, Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland.The letter also faults Matthews for likening Hillary Clinton, during the Democratic primary campaign, to Nurse Ratched, the power-mad character from Ken Kesey’s novel "One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest."And it cited a statement by Matthews that Clinton owed her political success to her husband’s having “messed around" -- a reference to Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky. Matthews later apologized on the air for that comment."The historic candidacies of both Hillary Clinton and [Republican vice presidential nominee] Sarah Palin have brought to light for all Americans the rampant sexism in the media."

For once Matthews had nothing to say and refused comment...
