Fire Chris Matthews?

Ho hum…looks like some people are P.O.’d at Chris Matthews and want him fired. Zzzzzzzzzz….

The LA Times’ Peter Nicholas has more…

A new women’s organization is setting out to get Chris Matthews fired from his job at MSNBC, calling his treatment of women on his show sexist.

The nonpartisan group, called The New Agenda, held its first meeting this week in New York and established as one of its goals the sacking of the host of “Hardball with Chris Matthews.”

Matthews’ contract is up for renewal next year. His plans are unclear, but in his home state of Pennsylvania, some Democrats have pushed for him to abandon TV and run for the Senate in 2010 against the Republican incumbent Arlen Specter. (A recent Quinnipiac poll found that to be a potentially competitive matchup, with Specter leading Matthews 41% to 36%.)

The 30-some women who attended New Agenda’s inaugural meeting included representatives of other women’s groups from around the country, along with supporters of Hillary Clinton’s defunct presidential campaign, according to one of the founders.

How exciting. And pointless. Speaking of which, how’s that Matthews boycott coming along anyways? Looks pretty dead to me…
