Chris Matthews is a jackass.
Matthews calls Santelli "Ebenezer Scrooge" for not believeing in redistribution of wealth and bailing out irrsponsible home-owners, says Santelli is "being too hard on Barack" after learning Santelli voted for John McCain.
How dare he question The Chosen One!
Santelli responds to statements about him during the White House press briefing by Robert Gibbs. Matthews gets a shot in on him at the end when he says his name has been iconized with Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.
In his daily press conference, Gibbs had this to say about Santelli:
"I'm not entirely sure where Mr. Santelli lives or in what house he lives in. But the American people are struggling every day to meet their mortgage, stay in their jobs, pay their bills to send their kids to school, and to hope that they don't get sick or somebody they care for gets sick that sends them into bankruptcy. I think we left a few months ago the adage that if it was good for a derivatives trader, that it was good for Main Street. I think the verdict is in on that.
"I would be more than happy to have him come here and read it. I'd be happy to buy him a cup of coffee....decaf."
So obviously, like Joe the Plumber, when you question The Obama Bull, you get the horns!
UPDATE: Santelli accepts Gibbs' invitation!
