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.

Matthews is a leftie. He will not be criticized for this. If it had been a Republican, we would be hearing hypocritical criticism from all the media, including Matthews.

I've never been so afraid in my entire life. That is one frightening image.

Dukakis in a dress would win CA, NY, WI, WA, MA, DE, and maybe FL so be careful...

Doesn't he know the difference between robots and cyborgs? homunculi and demons?

Don't get excited. They're just getting this faux opposition press out in the public eye early, so later they can claim they were hard on her. Later, when the pins are wobbling, they'll throw the ball for her and pick up the spare.

Call it "Bowling for Hillary".

at least she doesnt have big ears

The SNL skit must have really stung. Darrell Hammond was very good, although the Hillary actress was terrible and it was about 2 minutes too long.

I agree, agree, and agree. The mothership will have Chrissy reeled back in soon, though.

And you only had a gun with one bullet, would you pistol whip him before or after you shot him?

forgot CO, IL, PA, NJ, RI, and a few more. There is a permanent and growing 30-40% utter wacko coalition out there. Wins when normal people do not show up, or vote some third party.

Apparently the SNL schtick stung. What a facade.

I don know who should be more insulted.
