Bromance alert:
Did Matthews get another one of those thrills up his leg?
Via NewsBusters:
After former President Jimmy Carter criticized “the government of Israel” during a Thursday press conference for having “no desire for a two-state solution” with the Palestinians, MSNBC Hardball host and former Carter speechwriter Chris Matthews hailed his old boss: “…he stuck it to [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu. Why not?…He might as well stick it to the guys who’ve caused him trouble, as he’s seen it, especially Netanyahu. Why not stick it to Netanyahu? He deserves it.”
….Minutes later, Matthews continued praising Carter’s willingness to denounce Israel:
I think Carter has taken a lot of hits for his position on Israel, and yet his heart is clear on that….His animosity towards Netanyahu is real. And sometimes you wonder whether the people who have offered tough love to Israel are better guides to its future than some of the people who claim to be its best protectors….

Carter would be well advised to re-read his Bible. (Joshua 1:9)
I’m not surprised he’s having health problems.(Gen 12:3)
Matthews is overdue for a real smackdown.(Gen 11:7)
Despite the grudging admiration I have for Carter’s pluck in confronting his imminent demise, the man was, is, and apparently will always be unto death a Jew-Hater — just like the AntiSemite presently befouling the White House. Jimmeh, you never could find your ass, even with a mirror in one hand and a GPS in the other. As to Matthews, he’s an ugly, risible pimple on the rump of journalism.
