Does Chris Matthews know something about what Bill Clinton has been up to, so to speak?Posted on 02/03/2007 4:20:04 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest
Does Chris Matthews know something about what Bill Clinton has been up to, so to speak?
Not once, not twice, but no fewer than 12 times in under two minutes on Friday's Hardball, Matthews raised the question of whether the former president would "behave himself," not cause "distractions" with his "private life," etc. Chris' guest was Hillary confidant and campaign aide Ann Lewis, who is also sister to Rep. Barney Frank.
View video here.
Here's how it went:
Matthews: "Is Bill Clinton going to be a problem in this campaign? Is he going to behave himself?
Lewis pretended not to know what Matthews was referring to, answering instead about how Clinton had been around the campaign and traveling around the world to save lives.
Chris continued to pound the point, getting less subtle: "Is he going to behave himself? Is he going to behave himself, and not cause publicity that's going to get her embarrassed?"
Again, Lewis answered a question different from the one Matthews was asking. She suggested Chris speak with Schumer and Rahm Emanuel as to the number of campaign appearances Bill had made.
Matthews, yet again: "He's going to behave himself, right? No bad publicity?"
After alluding to a New York Times story speculating about Bill's private life, Matthews yet again asked the question: "so he's going to behave himself? He's going to behave himself so Hillary can be the first woman president?"
And then: "I think it would be great for the country if we were not distracted by what you call 'private life'. And I think the way not to get distracted is to have nothing there to distract us."
Lewis tried to change the subject: "Well, I agree with that, but we've just spent how many minutes of this segment, three minutes, talking about there should be nothing to distract us? Why don't we stop talking about it and talk about the issues?" Which goes to prove that time doesn't fly when you're not having fun. They had only been discussing the issue for 1 minute, 15 seconds when Ann complained about the "three minutes."
In closing, Chris went into virtual Hillary campaign-consultant mode, using Lewis as a vehicle to get his message back to Bill: "I want to have some assurances from people that I trust and like to spread the word that he better watch it. I am watching it."
Got it, Bill? Behave!

He just can't help himself.

Re: Manhood
Stop drooling when the name "Hillary" is used in a sentence. It's unbecoming. It's embarrassing even to a non-admirer.
Grow up! It's time.
A Non-admirer.
Obviously, Bill can't help himself. That's a matter of public record.
As for Chris, I'm halfway surprised that Bubba didn't lean back and say, "Do you mind? Are you just stupid, or are you trying to sabotage our chances for winning? I know, I know. I'm a jackass playboy, and she's the pathetically-loyal-to-a-fault wife. Ha ha. I get it. You made your little joke, now let's move on."
The last thing the voters need rubbed in the face about the Clintons is their sham marriage. Hillary clearly isn't standing by her man. She's standing by her ambition. I think most women understand the distinction, and it isn't a positive for her.

William the Zipper has pretty much always behaved himself during the campaigns. Anyone that votes for these fools should sit down and examine their moral values and sanity.
If anything, Bill will take that as a challenge to his right to do exactly as he sees fit.
Bubba might have done that, but Chris' guest was Ann Lewis, Hillary adviser and sister to Barney Frank.
bill is a rapist, a misogynist or the first order and a creature that finds unreal anything that doesn't personally affect him between his navel and his knees.
What's not to like?
this fits on this thread...
had to share this, a friend sent it to me...
Subject: to those of you with a sense of humor
Students were assigned to read 2 books, "Titanic" & "My Life" by Bill
Clinton. One smart alec student turned in the following book report,
with the proposition that they were nearly identical stories! His cool
professor gave him an A+ for this report:
Titanic: $29.99
Clinton: $29.99
Titanic: Over 3 hours to read
Clinton: Over 3 hours to read
Titanic: The story of Jack and Rose, their forbidden love, and
subsequent catastrophe.
Clinton: The story of Bill and Monica, their forbidden love, and
subsequent catastrophe.
Titanic: Jack is a starving artist
Clinton: Bill is a bullsh*t artist.
Titanic: In one scene, Jack enjoys a good cigar.
Clinton: Ditto for Bill.
Titanic: During ordeal, Rose's dress gets ruined.
Clinton: Ditto for Monica.
Titanic: Jack teaches Rose to spit.
Clinton: Let's not go there.
Titanic: Rose gets to keep her jewelry.
C linton: Monica's forced to return her gifts.
Titanic: Rose remembers Jack for the rest of her life.
Clinton: Clinton doesn't remember jack.
Titanic: Rose goes down on a vessel full of seamen.
Clinton: Monica..... let's not go there, either.
Titanic: Jack surrenders to an icy death.
Clinton: Bill goes home to Hillary...basically the same thing
While Hillary is grabbing some headlines, Bill will be content with grabbing some head.
Their standard answer is "What he does in his private life is none of our business"...
That's the mentality we are dealing with..

Adviser????????? You gotta be kidding. Hissyfit Hillary the smartest woman in the world needs Annie as an adviser?
Mark Finkelstein provides a great public service by subjecting himself to stuff the rest of us can't stand to watch and then reporting the gist of it.
Speaking as myself, Mark Finkelstein, I couldn't agree with you more ;-)
[Yes, governs = Mark]
"I will make the space under my office desk a lot larger so that my friends can be hidden without their being visable."
"I have to keep my mojo workin' Hillary, so that I can fund raise for ya'all."
[All we have to do is put a lot of pressure on BJ, rack up his schedule, and make him travel a lot,and have agents in observation, sooner or later his sexual addiction will come out, as he surveys the nations campaign cuties. He WILL break! CHECKMATE.]
I guess that a lot of people in our part of the country has just come to accept Bill for what he is. Lower than whale poop on the bottom of the ocean.
There is nothing wrong with the Republican Party that a disciplined, motivated paparazzi corps Clintonista stalking could not solve. Now if the National Review could get the word out, that they are buying photos.... Well, let us just say we will find out who was driving the white Fiat Uno.
