Matthews: Media going to spend every nickel investigating Rick Perry

Chris Matthews is getting more infuriating as we get closer to the election. He has the audacity to tell Rick Perry that he better be “clean as a whistle” because the MSM is going to pour every nickel they have into investigating him. This from the people who spent every nickel they had electing Obama, never raising even a skeptical eyebrow at his nefarious connections. And still there is so much about Obama we don’t know and yet schlubs like Matthews are already drooling over dumpster diving in Rick Perry’s back yard.

(via Newsbusters):

NEWSBUSTERS – CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: Your thought about Perry. You’re a political expert, I haven’t had a chance to, is this guy really the Perry on top of this cake right now?

EUGENE ROBINSON, WASHINGTON POST: I think he is a formidable politician. He’s got experience. He’s off like gangbusters. He immediately becomes a top tier candidate. And I think at the White House they are having to do recalibration today, and to think about, gee, maybe we will run against Perry instead of running against Romney.

MATTHEWS: You’ve been an editor, for many years the top editor at the Post. Do you think the nation’s newspapers and the big news organizations are now going to spend every nickel they have sending young people out there to go investigate this guy?

ROBINSON: Absolutely.

MATTHEWS: I think there is going to be a tremendous amount of investigation on this guy.

ROBINSON: Absolutely.

MATTHEWS: He better be clean as a whistle. Time is coming. He’s arrived. The time, the march of time has begun…

ROBINSON: Well, it’s hot in here.

MATTHEWS: …for this guy. Anyway, thank you. If you don’t like the heat, stay out of the kitchen, Governor.
