2 When you adjust for the language differences, it's overall a very flattering piece.

3 his Philadelphean ways.

Clearly a reference to the 1959 Paul Newman movie The Young Philadelphians, which he did immediately before he appeared in Exodus... (best I can come up, shrugging shoulders).

Although the enclosing webpage appears current, I think the article itself is from Jan 2002 (near as I can tell from the context)...

4 his Philadelphean ways.

Think "City of Brotherly Love"...

5 Kind of a dated award and this guy sounds like a flaming commie. I love Chris Mathews and it's one of the few programs I watch on MSNBC.

6 "Pigment uber alles!"

7 His loyalty is not to his country, but to his pigmentation and his Philadelphean ways.

So he's a white, drunken, foul-mouthed Eagles fan?

8 1) "Philadelphian ways" could also be referring to Tom Hanks/Denzel Washington Philadelphia Aids/Gay movie.I assume the committee is implying Mathews supports gay rights and in their eyes that is bad thing-altho they could be implying Mathews is like the firm that opposed Hanks' character and is thus bigoted(but I doubt it).
2)The folks at Ramallah online went to Eagles game and were booed,making them bitter.
3)They are communists at heart and still haven't gotten over the Flyers whipping the Soviet hockey team.
4)Bad cheesesteak does leave an impression.
5)Ben Franklin "discovered" electricity while living in Philadelphia,and any good turn-back-the-clock Muslim hates modern technology.

9 CS, what are you smokin', cause I'd like some.
I loathe Chris Matthews and if I can stomach his show, I spend half the time yelling at him to shut up!
Mr. Tardball is a DNC shill with all the usual apologist views and therefore the best friend the Paleostinian cause has on TV. Ramallah Online should rethink their award.
(Could it be that they were really aiming for former MSNBC host Alan Keyes, who called the Paleo situation like he saw it, i.e. a total crime and a fraud?)

10 I used to like Chris Matthews. I used to watch him during Mr. Bill's Monica crisis, and Matthews cut His Excellency no slack at all. Geraldo was on the same channel - I think it was CNBC - and I always got the impression he'd have traded places with Monica if asked. So was the guy who looks like a poor embalming job... Charles Grodin. (Took awhile for his name to come to me).

That was before Fox News, of course. In a world with no O'Reilly and no Hannity and no Fox and Friends, Matthews was pretty much it.
