Chris Matthews Denies Calling Clinton a 'She-Devil'
Did he or didn't he? Technically, Hardball host Chris Matthews did say "she-devil" when talking about Sen. Hillary Clinton during the primaries. But now he's fighting back over how it's being interpreted. "I never called her a she-devil," Matthews says of the phrase that has been dogging him as he considers a run for the Senate in 2010. Here's what happened: Matthews opened a November 2007 show that explored GOP attacks on Clinton, who at the time was the Democratic front-runner. "She-devil? Republicans are absolutely demonizing Hillary Clinton," he barked before the screen displayed Clinton with horns. "You can see it is where we introduce the topics to the show," he argues. Matthews says his critics at Media Matters took the two words out of context as they built a website around the host's sometimes outrageous comments. "This stuff has been cooked up," he says, "to build a case." Media Matters isn't backing down. Spokesman J. Jioni Palmer says the TV star has a pattern of "sexist comments," adding, "Chris Matthews speaks for himself."

Does Matthews really want to play this game?
He has been making rude, unfair, unfounded, cruel and vile remarks about Hillary Clinton for years.
But Keith Olbermann is even worse. After years of fair and objective reporting on Hillary Clinton, he started to attack and disrespect her once he fell in live with his man crush Obama.
No lie was too big for Keith and no comment too unfair or false - he was on a mission to make Obama the nominee and damned if he was going to let facts, fairness or objectivity get in his way.
MSNBC would do well to cut both these clowns loose.
