Mike Murphy = @$$ clown (updated)
[Updated: see below]
Did everyone see Republican Fox News commentator Mike Murphy on MSNBC's discussion of Bill Clinton's speech? What an @$$ clown.
He was booed resoundingly by the people standing around the stage. This is the kind of alternate-reality analysis we've all come to expect from Republican Fox News. I'll post a video once I find it. What a joke.
Here's the full transcript of the exchange.
The crowd booed lustily.
HAROLD FORD, JR.: I think Mike wants to rattle this crowd and rattle us here, on set.
After Ford gave his take, Matthews challenged not merely Murphy's prediction, but his reputation.
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Let me ask you Mike: are we to, to place the credibility of you as a pundit on your belief, that you've just asserted, that the Clintons will vote for John McCain?
MURPHY: Absolutely. I really believe Hillary Clinton will vote for McCain. Look, they're friends. [Crowd boos]. Ah, come on, don't shout me down: let me talk. I mean come on, this is, you guys are so in the tank we ought to be filming this on a submarine. The fact is, Barack Obama, to his credit, has moved closer to Hillary Clinton and John McCain on foreign policy, Hillary and John McCain have worked --
MATTHEWS: That's an argument -- that's not what I'm asking you.
MURPHY: I really believe --
MATTHEWS: Mike, let me get back to --
It was then that Olbermann could be heard angrily off-camera.
KEITH OLBERMANN: Let's wrap him up, alright?
Perhaps Chris didn't want to be outdone in insulting his guest:
MATTHEWS: I want to ask this question, Mike. You say the audience out there is biased. Where would you find an audience in sane America who would agree with you?
