Thanks to Newsbusters for this clip: Congresswoman Heather Wilson takes on Hardball.

Heather Wilson (R - NM) wiped the floor with Chris Matthews and Robert Wexler about the egomaniacal socialist Barack Obama and his hand-holding European World Tour. If you believe Matthews and Wexler, the only thing important to our Trans-Atlantic relationships is how popular Bush is with Europeans.

I don’t care how popular President Bush is with Europeans. He works for us, not them. And honestly, I don’t even care how popular he is with Americans as long as I believe he’s making the right decision for the country. If doing the right thing were always the popular choice then there would never be a road less traveled.

If your success was based on how popular you are… then Robert Wexler and the rest of Congress are failing worse than President Bush. Funny, Chris Matthews isn’t all that popular either. Apply the “popularity” standard and Chris Matthews is everyone’s bitch… Shepard Smith, Sean Hannity, Lou Dobbs, Greta Van Susteren and Bill O’Reily (including the repeat) all get considerably more love.

Thankfully for Chris his success is (obviously) not based on his popularity. I don’t know, maybe they like him in France.
