MSNBC host Chris Matthews congratulated Democratic New Jersey senator-elect Cory Booker by yelling at him on-air, urging him to do his part to “goose” the Senate into stopping their “pissant” game, or something.
As the Senate slips away from Democratic control, Matthews unleashed his frustration on Senate majority leader Harry Reid, accusing him of “not wanting anyone to look good” for fear of helping political rivals.
“This pissant game of abusing the United States Senate to avoid doing anything — when’s it going to stop?” he yelled. “When are you guys gonna say, ‘Let’s use each other to get something done?’ Goose each other to get something done?”
“You’re a clean, positive, new young force there,” Matthews continued. “You come from a business background. Don’t you hate it when nobody wants to do business? Do anything!?”
