Chris Matthews Endorses Hillary For...Majority Leader

Chris Matthews Endorses Hillary For...Majority Leader Posted by Geoffrey Dickens on November 13, 2006 - 17:02.

On this weekend's syndicated Chris Matthews show, the host of MSNBC's Hardball endorsed Hillary Clinton for...Majority Leader. In his final commentary Matthews said the election afforded Clinton "a great new career option," that she was "a natural," and leading the Senate would prove, she has the "necessary ability to bring us together." Matthews puffed up the Senator from New York as an expert on health, education, the economy and even defense issues: "Not only does Hillary Clinton know her stuff, she cares about it, especially the issues that cut so close to daily life in this country: health, education, economic opportunity. And ask the generals who say that this member of the Armed Services Committee could well be the best prepared senator there is in that life-and-death world."

The following is the complete transcript of Matthews' endorsement from the November 12th Chris Matthews Show:

Chris Matthews: "Hillary Clinton won a great new career option this week. I know she's thinking about running for president this time but I think Senator Clinton would make a great Senate majority leader. She's a natural. I'll never forget what I saw sitting in the Senate press gallery in one of Clinton's first days as member of that body. There she was standing in the back of the Democratic side, surrounded by other senators. It had the look of a football huddle and she was calling the signals. Not only does Hillary Clinton know her stuff, she cares about it, especially the issues that cut so close to daily life in this country: health, education, economic opportunity. And ask the generals who say that this member of the Armed Services Committee could well be the best prepared senator there is in that life-and-death world. As Senate majority leader, she could make things happen. Why? Because she works well with others. While her husband can woo the crowd, she has a proven ability to win over colleagues. Where he loves the spotlight, she knows the power of the chance meeting in the Capitol hallway, the success that comes from patience and seeing things from the other senators' side. The need to decide early to share the prize. Yeah, she could run for president, but the modern world offers evidence that the greatest female leaders - Thatcher, Meir, Gandhi - all did so through the same tried and true path. To champion a country, you must first be seen piloting a parliament. By bringing the Senate together, she'll demonstrate that she has the grand and necessary ability to bring us together."

She'd never do it - she has to run in stealth mode till '08.

No, with the Clintons, it is one thing and one thing only. Absolute power. Hitlery sees her totally-unqualified self in the White House with a criminal, corrupt socialist Congress at her beck-and-call.

Nothing less for the Marxist Medusa.

But that would tie her down with lots of responsibilities in the Senate when she wants to have plenty of time for trips to IA and NH.

EXACTLY. Matthews knows that.

Not a chance that a junior senator with only six years in office would be appointed majority leader, when there must be at least 40 Democrat senators with more seniority than she has.

Unless she pulls out the FBI files again.

No, this is just little Chrissy Matthews putting on his kneepads, hoping for an interview in the run up to 2008.

Have you noticed? When Chrissy's eye isn't twitching, his complexion is rosy, and his hands are both under the desk, he is most content.

SSINO=Senior Senator in Name Only!!!!

Anybody who speculates she needs more experience to be President has just ended his career with a shot thru his foot. She already was the dual president, so no more experience is required.

Agreed. Her real self would be exposed and she dare not let her real agenda leak out until it's too late to stop her.

She prefers women.
