Chris Matthews has been covering “Palinpallooza” all week, alternating between gushing over her personal popularity and condescending jabs at her intellect. Mostly, however, he’s been saying not to underestimate her, and exclaiming “I’ve never seen anything like this.”
So, Wednesday, on the opening day of Palin’s huge book signing tour, it was time for Chris to get back in the MSNBC fold, and call her a racist and a “mean girl.” (I couldn’t find a na-na-na-na-NAH-nah in the transcript, but I could’ve sworn I heard one…)
NBC’s Norah O’Donnell was covering the Palin tour on location, while Chris brought in Salon.com’s resident hater, Joan Walsh, San Francisco’s female version of Keith Olbermann.
The first thing this group of faces so pale that color TV is irrelevant noticed was that the crowd did not look like they were in line for the next Tyler Perry movie.
O’DONNELL: … This is a largely white—almost no minorities in this crowd….
MATTHEWS: Well, they look like a white crowd to me. Let‘s go back to Joan Walsh. Not that there‘s anything wrong with it, but it is pretty monochromatic up there. Joan, no surprise in terms of the ethnic nature of the people showing up. Nothing wrong with that. But it is a fact
Yeah, well I’d like to get a look at the racial demographics of Hardball with Chris Matthews sometime… oh, wait, I buy TV commercials for a living. I have seen them. They’re as “monochromatic” as the line for Sarah Palin’s book signing.
