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.

Maybe she will imitate Kitty Dukakis and try to kill herself by drinking hairspray.

"Sauron in a skirt" is what comes to mind when I think of her.

This is good! Thanks for posting.

The next 2 years could be fun!

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

Good.

Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen a photo of Hillary in a dress.

Chrissy just made hillary's hit-list.

[Nebr FAL owner]

Hillary isn't a Dukakis in a dress . She is a Josephine Stalin & less charming than the original "Uncle Joe"

[MrB]

Dukakis in a CRUSTY PANTS SUIT.

[ishabibble]

Chrissy is doing damage control. He must be embarrassed to death over the SNL skit. Of course, he doesn't have the decency to be embarrassed about the things he says every day. He just is upset over being mocked. They called him a suck-up. And...?

[HarmlessLovableFuzzball]

Norah O is GORGEOUS.

[Blueflag]

Dare we say "Dykakis" ???

[KarlInOhio]

Will Bernard Shaw ask her how she would respond to her spouse-in-name-only being raped and murdered?

[Texagirl4W]

I'd be scared to death to say anything like that against hillary. Chris better watch his back.

[dirtboy]

dang, he already did it...

[spectre]

Chris was a favorite on FR when he would roast Bill Clinton. I'd probably tune in to him again IF he was as rabid about Hillary..:)

[King Moonracer]

[CounterCounterCulture]

Watch yer back, Chrissy. Watch yer back.

Dukakis in a dress? When does cankles ever wear a dress? It's Dukakis in a crusty pantsuit!
