There’s no doubt that “Hardball” host Chris Matthews used the expression “she devil” when talking about Hillary Clinton — but he insists he never called her that.

On the Nov. 18 telecast of the NBC-syndicated “Chris Matthews Show,” the host discussed Republican attacks on Hillary, who was then the Democratic presidential front-runner.

“She devil?” he said, “Republicans are absolutely demonizing Hillary Clinton.”

While he spoke, an image of Hillary appeared on screen with the words “She Devil?” below it. Later, an image of Clinton with devil horns appeared on screen.

Paul Bedard observed in U.S. News & World Report’s “Washington Whispers” column that Matthews, who has been mulling a run for the Senate in 2010, was “concerned he ruined it with the women vote.”

But Matthews now tells Bedard: “I never called her a she devil . . . You can see it is where we introduce the topics to the show.”

He claims Media Matters for America took the expression out of context.

“This stuff has been cooked up,” he said.

Media Matters spokesman J. Jioni Palmer retorted that Matthews has a pattern of “sexist comments.”

Matthews’ mouth got him into trouble back in February 2007 when he used “the f-word” while referring to President Bush’s ranch during an appearance on the “Imus in the Morning” show.

This past January he stirred up protests when he said the reason Hillary was a senator and candidate for president “is that her husband messed around.”

(including his Sunday morning show), and I never heard him say that.  I heard him say that Africa is a continent with 50-some countries. 

Please provide a link to Matthews saying Africa is a country.

Remember that "thrill up his leg," or whatever?  What the heck kind of MAN would say that and be straight?  None in my world, and I know gay men!

pinned him to the wall like a bug (no offense to bugs out there).  Intersting also that he mentioned McCain's former policy chief (or something) Tori Clark wrote a book with the name.  I love to see the hyocrites squirm. it sends a thrill up my leg.

take - reelection.  He said Obama would surely win  because what Kenyan ever lost a race?

"People are angry about bailouts, but would be more upset if the big 3 go under."

I hope they put his info on the news. I just can't type fast enough to cover it and don't want to put words in his mouth. The hearing was 6 hours long! Whew!

What I got from most of it was that GM and Ford have unsecured debt while Chrysler has secured debt and that the Chrysler CEO would step down if that would help his company.  Wagoner (GM) and Gettlefinger are working together and GM keeps defending the UAW.

"Bankruptcy is the wrong approach," Dodd says. "There is concensus that inaction is not an option and the concensus is that we are not going to write a check without stipulations. My sense is that I have a working situation here and I'm going to get it done.... I need the federal reserve and the treasury to step up."

On the other bailouts, "I am through giving them money. I still have 9.000 people a day losing their homes and they (I think he's talking about Paulson) still haven't done anything about it."

to run for office?  Old rumor, but if true I am delighted.  We are once again attracting decent, intelligent individuals with true patriotism for government service.  Obama's positive impact on our nation just keeps going and going . . .

labeled combative.  He has an opinion show.  When he asks a question and the guest regurgitates a talking point or avoids answering the question, Mathews holds his/her feet to the fire.  Remember what the press is for?  Finding the truth?

Fox News which is a republican propaganda outlet.  An actual journalist was chosen. The Fox get it turn next week which only zealots will watch.

can use empty chair if McCain does not show.

I don't know how they can stand up there and lie through their teeth like that...blaming the White House and Republicans for this financial debacle.  They know that is a lie.  They know, especially Chris Dodd, was central to this.  Also mentioned Barney Frank.  Good grief.  The hypocrisy is staggering.  They should be talking about getting us out of this mess....just yesterday they were saying don't play the blame game.  Telling McCain not to politicize it while they are politicizing it.  That man makes my skin crawl. 

And saying there was a "deal" and McCain blew it up.  The only "deal" was among senators...the only house person present could not negotiate.  He just had to listen.  If they had the plan and had gone to the house with it, then the house would have blocked it there and hours if not days would have been wasted.  Amazing the gall of some folks.  Ridiculous!!!

Why can't they all stop the political posturing and just fix this mess.  The House is only reacting to the onslaught of emails from their constituents saying protect us here, we don't like this carte blanche 700 billion.  I for one am GLAD at least the Republicans in the house said whoa wait just a minute here. 

Yes, he was a Dem, but nothing even like the so-called centrists.  But Obama--we're talking as far left las one can go!  Be careful what you wish for!  His #1 liberal rating in the Senate should be enough.   Don't forget Biden is #3, with Ted Kennedy #2.

Those of you who make, say, double my salary, then you can give half of it to me.  Fear not, Obama will make sure that happens.  For all the bi%ching on this board about lost wages, that should be reason enough to NOT vote for the man who was a Senator only150 days or something like that.  Community agitator is another subject, and not a pretty one, either.

Obama butt kissing media doesn't spin things at all.  Oh please!  Give me a break.

Shall we not forget that Immelt who head GE also runs NBC and he told them no Obama bashing.  I'm sure you are getting fair and balanced news from them, huh?

You asked about the values of liberals, so here goes ... at least from this liberal's perspective.  I value people's inherent ability to make decisions about their own lives, barring medical issues preventing same (i.e., mental incapacity).  I live by the Golden Rule.  I value the choice for people to practice whichever faith they choose ... or none at all ... and really mean it!  I accept people and their differences from the "norm".  I believe 2 consenting adults with the required mental capacity should be allowed to marry - with no litmus test.  And I sure don't care what people do in their own bedrooms as long as it is between consenting adults.  Most importantly, I value the principles set forth by the Constitution of the United States since, first and foremost, I am an American.

That about sums it up.  I hope it helps!
