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 he meant it as a compliment.

dont underestimate her theighness,Chris. 90% of women will vote for her no matter what.

[Night Hides Not]

Thanks Chris! This will stick.

Dibs on the bumper sticker rights:

"Hillary: Dukakis in a Dress!"

[Brilliant]

Oh come on... We KNOW that dress was added with Photoshop.

[No Truce With Kings]

Maybe Chris is hacked about this and wants to distance hisself from the SNL parody.

"Mrs. Clinton, if some one was raping your husband......."

[jaycee]

"Dukakis in a Dress". Yes, I love it! I AM GLAD THE MEDIA WILL HAVE SOMEONE ELSE TO BEAT UP.......I will be behind them if they keep going after Hillary!

[Verginius Rufus]

Dukakis probably would have been a weak president, a captive of all the liberal interest groups, but at least he had some executive experience and seems to be a genuinely decent person. Neither of those applies to Hillary.

Matthews better hope she doesn't win, he will never, never, be forgiven for this.

[FastCoyote]

"Bad analogy, Chris."

Kerry in a dress?
Carter in a dress?
Mondale in a dress?

All of the above in a lesbo pantsuit?

[Peach]

Dukakis in a dress! How is it a leftist has come up with a better nickname than we did? LOL

[dforest]

A mouth with a suit pinned on it calls Hilabeast Dukakis in a dress. Sounds suitable to me.

[gogeo]

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

My thought exactly. Dukakis was an effeminate lib; Hillary is more butch than 75% of the Senate.

[doberville]

You've been blessed.

Dukakis in a SMELLY pantsuit!

CRUSTY THE PANTSUIT
Tune: "Frosty the Snowman"

Crusty the pantsuit
Was like clothes that you'd discard,
With a sweat-stained top
And a stretched-out butt
And two legs that smelled like lard.

Crusty the pantsuit
Was pulled out most ev'ry day.
As she put it on,
Hilly sang this song:
"Black is slimming, so they say."

She must have bought the pantsuit from
A wizard or an elf,
For when she took it off at night,
It stood up all by itself!
Oh . . .

Crusty the pantsuit
Was a fashion felony,
But the Freepers say,
"We can laugh and play
With these threads on Hillary."

Frumpety frump frump,
Frumpety frump frump,
Look at Crusty glow.

Rumpety rump rump,
Rumpety rump rump,
Over the Hill we go!

"PANTSUIT IN THE WIND"
Tune: "Candle in the Wind"

Hello, Crusty Queen,
Though you never cleaned it at all,
You had the guts to wear your suit
While those around you crawled.
They crawled out of the odor
And they kept on holding their nose,
They shouted from a distance
And they begged you, "Change your clothes."

And it seems to me you wore your clothes
Like a pantsuit in the wind,
Never knowing what to change to
When the stains set in.
And I would have liked to have worn one,
But it would make me ill.
Your perfume wore out long before
Your pantsuit ever will.

Maybe, if we get lucky, Hillary will put a condom on her head.

"Man, I love photo-ops that make me look commanding."

More like....Hitler in a dirty black pantsuit!

Matthews said: Nothing worse than a woman know-it-all.

Gosh - he sounds just like a few freepers around here who have "issues" with women. LOL

[Hegemony Cricket]

"tank top" - Ha - would be more like a "wifebeater"...
