Chris Matthews Calls Hillary Clinton ‘Dukakis in a Dress’

Posted by Noel Sheppard on January 21, 2007 - 21:53.

With the love-fest that is currently going on over Sen. Barack Obama (D-Illinois), it is certainly no surprise when a group of mainstream media members gets together to discuss Hillary Clinton’s shortcomings. Yet, it is quite odd to hear someone like Chris Matthews state that the current frontrunner for the 2008 Democrat presidential nomination – and a former first lady – is a female incarnation of one of the biggest left-wing failures in decades (video available here courtesy of our friend at Ms Underestimated).

To set this up, the panel in the first segment of Sunday’s “The Chris Matthews Show” was discussing presidential candidates. As they moved in Al Gore’s direction, Norah O’Donnell stated that Democrat party leaders are concerned about Hillary’s chances in the general election, and that a more senior and experienced candidate like Gore might be the ticket so to speak.

That precipitated this rather shocking exchange between O’Donnell and Matthews:

O’Donnell: And it’s not necessarily on the war. But they want, the Democrats are so sick of losing. They just want someone that can win a general election.

Matthews: Why do they think she won’t win a general?

O’Donnell: Because they believe that she is too polarizing a figure because of her past.

Matthews: Dukakis in a dress.

Amazing.

I think hillary's "tank driver" moment will be when she dons camouflage and goes duck hunting ala Jhon Cary.

Ahaaa! You like that frame huh? It's a good one.

Bad analogy perhaps but the idiom may well stick LOL Who cares, it's still fun to watch them eat their own.....

Yes, I agree the hilllereee character was awful. First of all she didn't put UH before each statement she made. How could they have missed that. Also her tone was clear but sweet instead of hillreees firm, loud and boring voice.

Doo-Caca in a dress = sack of Shi'ite

In case no one's said it yet, "Dukakis in a pant suit" is more descriptive.

I'm no fan of Dukakis. But I've got to beleive he looks better in a dress than does the beast.

[jla]

Thank you for bringing that to my attention. (You're not so mean after all)

[al baby]

That ain't no cop's gun frank

[uglybiker]

Dukkakis in a crusty black pantsuit.

[Spyder]

Like this maybe?

[silverleaf]

Ouch that's gotta hurt!

Especially when Hillary had the desire to be a US Marine until some snotty recruiter shot her down because of her coke bottle glasses...why I'll bet she still sighs when she watches Catherine Bell in JAG re-runs
