I am crazy about Chris Matthews and want to throw up at reading of some faction wanting to color him nasty and bring him down. Hey, Clique of Mean Girls, call off your dogs! This is a really decent guy. He was, is and will be entitled to, as are we all, his team to root FOR. Leave him alone.

“He is not gay, but the guy is not interested in women, they don’t excite him or send tingles up his leg.” lol I know that his wife is a high powered and successful woman in her own right - and they have a few children. If the psychologist is correct that would make Kathleen Matthews one hell of a woman - she ought to bottle it! My opinion is that Chris Matthews ought to have kept his bias from showing because his adoration of B. Obama made him quite uninformative and unappealing to watch. Is he a journalist or a talk show host?

Just think, if Chris matthews had a brain…….He’d be dangerous!

This is a bizarre pop psychology piece.. ? And I have no feelings about the guy one way or another. But diagnosising someone publicly as afraid of being castrated and being asexual? What the hell?

I agree with Goldstein… it was so glaringly apparent, this man love so many male pundits, reporters and anchors showed during the election, and continue to do so. Matthews isn’t the only one.

I happen to like Chris Matthews….the problem with the ‘diagnosis’ by Goldstein, is that is was done from ‘afar’….Had Matthews been a client, she could not have made the statement. Just knowing that she has nothing more than what she sees’ while Matthews is on the air, to make this ‘observation’, makes this statement less credible. I have never felt that Matthews is ‘afraid of’ or holds disdain for powerful women—but I do see, from watching him, that he is passionate about his observations—-and he tends to reflect that passion in his statements…and I have seen that passion expressed for both men and women….not just women. BTW, he was stationed outside, with the filming crew, for one of the campaign events, and his wife stopped by to speak with him…she stood on the sidelines during the show waiting for a break, and he asked her to come into camera view while he was on the air—-he completely melted for her—-it was obvious that he was happy to see her ALL THE TIME! and even his on-air persona seemed to change —- There are a lot of people, men and women, who have reservations about Hillary—-not because she is a woman…but because of some of the things that have been reported, she is to have done, and covered up—-and because of the way she has treated people when they disagree with her, and because of her ease in making some ‘mis-statements’ during her campaign. There are many men, that Matthews has shown dis-like for too…and I will BET that I could get rich, if all readers on this board, gave me $1 for every time they made a passionate negative statement about someone!.

because of the way she has treated people when they disagree with her, By Patty E on 11/19/2008 12:43 pm Hell, she ought to fit in right perfectly with the new administration!

Everybody has a right to their opinion, but on this one I’m not so sure. I just don’t see it, and I can smell a sexist pig a mile away. Chris Matthews definitely has one of those personalities that you either love or hate, no gray area. So I can’t tell if all the hoopla is an off-shoot of people who simply don’t like him or if there is something to what is being said. I like him and agree with him most of the time so I just don’t see the women hating angle.

It’s the Chris Matthew’s show. If he’s enthused with Obama, he has the right to show it. It’s his show. I’m hesitant about Hillary being Sec of State because her loyalties are with the Republicans. You see, the reason Hillary did not become the Democratic nominee for president was not because men won’t vote for her. It was because of her voting record in the Senate & because of what Bill did as president, with her voiced approval all along the way. Hillary could not spin-doctor the fact that she voted right along with Bush & the Republicans on almost every single issue. She’s a closet Republican—& was supposed to be the Dem nominee as part of the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton dynasty the Repubs had planned. That’s why Karl Rove wrote all those columns supporting Hillary—because the Repubs wanted her for pres since they figured it would be tough getting ANY Repub elected—they stole 6 million votes this election per the election watchdog websites—but it was in states to get senatorial seats so the Dems won’t have a filibuster-proof reign under Obama. The Sec of State is supposed to follow the plan of the president in regard to foreign affairs—-but I seriously doubt she can be trusted to broker the deals Obama wants & not just do what the Repubs want when she’s oversees & away from Obama’s scrutiny. I don’t trust her—plus, she could make Obama look bad—it would further her own desire to be president in 2012. I would not put it past her.
