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.

Dukakis isn't as butch...

I should think Stalin in a dress would be more apt.

Hillary is Dukakis in a dress?

Nah, Dukakis is much prettier...and has nicer legs.

[Churchillspirit]

What nonsense!

When did we ever see The Beast in a dress?

"So the enemy propaganda machine, MSNBC, are throwing their muscle behind Obamasama?"

ABC radio and CNN are conspicuous lately in puffing Hillary.

While they name names of other candidates, the only candidate quoted or described is Hillary. It is very reminicent of all the favorable press WJC received before his first run. I noticed then that the media was "annointing him as president" before anyone even heard of him.

Today on FoxNews I heard Dennis Miller use the same description of what is happening with the MSM and HRC now. Obamasama's only hope is as Veep.

Chris Matthews says no way...Chris Matthews says no way

Chrissy says...that Hillary will never be the prez
Some Democrats have certainly concurred...and Chrissy calls her
Dukakis in her dress

Hillary...will stop at nothing...everyone agrees
She'll be triangulating, that's for sure...and Chrissy calls her
Dukakis in her dress

Bodies dead...she brings dread...what more needs to be said
Look at her face with that demonic smile
Get in her way...and you will pay
Just you wait for those FBI files

Chrissy says...that Hillary will never be the prez
Some Democrats have certainly concurred...and Chrissy calls her
Dukakis in her dress

Hillary...will stop at nothing...everyone agrees
She'll be triangulating, that's for sure...and Chrissy calls her
Dukakis in her dress...Dukakis in her dress

And a mother of Hank and Grace, last May. Dang! Someone's been there and done that. Good for her and her hubby.

Nora is a beauty, for sure.
