Taking the prize for the most despicable alleged person on MSNBC (and that is a tough competition)? Chris Matthews. That’s right, he hailed Hurricane Sandy … because it helped Obama. Lives Shmives! What really matters is Obama and his re-election.

“I’m so glad we had that storm last week. ‘Cause I think the storm was one of those things. No. Politically, I should say. Not in terms of hurting people. The storm brought in possibilities for good politics.”
Even Scary Larry is shaking his head. You’re not supposed to say it, Chris.
It would be unbelievable, except we all already know that Chris Matthews is a soulless ghoul.
@AlexPappasDC I think it's hysterical you are surpised to hear Chris Matthews not care about people at all.

Twitter users are rightly disgusted and outraged by his despicable remarks.

What kind of sicko says they're so happy we had that hurricane last week? Seriously Chris Matthews is beyond revolting.

@hardball_chris No amount of political points are worth even one life lost.

Awful human being @hardball_chris Matthews is glad we had the storm last week. Helped his cause, forget about the dead http://t.co/opcdweLH

To Chris Matthews and his fellow travelers, the end justifies the means. Even if the means is lost lives.

The repugnant Matthews then tried to backpedal on Twitter this morning.
Obviously I wasn't talking about the horror of the storm. I grew up on the Jersey shore.
— Chris Matthews (@HardballChris) November 7, 2012
Twitter users aren’t buying it. Obviously? Obviously you are a cretin, sir.
@hardball_chris We know exactly what you were talking about.

And more pitiful “clarification.”
To clarify – I was thrilled at the cooperation between the President and state officials that made the country proud. Great bipartisanship.
— Chris Matthews (@HardballChris) November 7, 2012
Baloney. And everyone knows it.
@hardball_chris Bipartisan??how does that fit in your politics chris..you are the most divisive person on TV,you know it and still lie to us
— david miller (@dogg4ui812) November 7, 2012
@hardball_chris Dont clarify. You were wrong. Just apologize. And move on to making more dumb remarks. That is how you make your $$ SpartaNJ
— Brad Wicker (@WickerBeasley) November 7, 2012
@hardball_chris clarify whatever you want… A lot of respect for you but to use the storm as propaganda, you deserve a fist pal…
— Bob Moseman (@bmose30) November 7, 2012
@hardball_chris what you said disgusted me. At least apologies instead of making it seem like you meant something else. #Donate

#FireChrisMatthews is starting up.
"Im so glad we had that storm" was maybe the worst thing ever uttered by that vile hateful pig- & thats saying something. #firechrismatthews
— Sarah(…of course) (@alwaysbeensarah) November 7, 2012
Chris Matthews does not deserve his position as a tv pundit. Its disgraceful that he puts elections over people's lives. #firechrismatthews
— Sarah(…of course) (@alwaysbeensarah) November 7, 2012
What an awful, ignorant thing to say @7BOOMERESIASON #firechrismatthews let's get it trending
— Jeff Parton (@japarton10) November 7, 2012
Indeed. We’d tell Matthews to seek help, but obviously it’s too late.
Matthews tweeted this the day before election day.
Tomorrow, vote your soul.
— Chris Matthews (@HardballChris) November 6, 2012
Ironic. Because, clearly, he doesn’t have one.
Update:
Matthews continued his backpedaling with an apology on “Hardball” Wednesday night. He followed it up with a segment that had guest Bill Maher likening Romney and his supporters to Nazis.
