Salesman on train: How far you going, friend? Harold Hill: Wherever the people are as green as the money, friend. -- The Music Man, 1962
Among the many gaps in my knowledge is a broad unfamiliarity with Broadway musicals. So when Chris Matthews said that Bill Clinton would make a perfect Harold Hill in The Music Man, I scampered Googleward and discovered that the Hardball host had just called the former President of the United States . . . a con man.
Appearing on today's Morning Joe, what set Matthews off was footage of Clinton making the case to a crowd in Indiana yesterday that Hillary is the only Dem who can win in November.
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Let's not get into Cloud Nine here and start thinking the way Bill Clinton wants your mind to think. That was delusionary that speech, yesterday.
It was a bit later that Chris made his Music Man analogy.
MATTHEWS: Let's remake the Music Man, I think I've got a great guy to play him, Harold Hill. Let's, I'm serious, I'm dead serious. Meredith Wilson has been waiting for this guy to come along for years. He'd be perfect as the Music Man.

Chris Matthews calls Clinton the perfect Music Man con artist ping to Today show list.
This guy is really playing with fire.
I can’t decide, though, are the Clinton’s just going to let him implode into a drooling mess. Or are they plant a dead girl in his office?
Matthews finally got something right.
K. I. S. S. I. N. G.
First comes Love....
Matthews really does not like the Clintons.
To be fair to Chrissy - who has been a absolute moron the past 6 years or so - he did see through the BS during the Clinton impeachment hearings and actually ran a good show back then. He asked a lot of hard questions to the Clinton apologists.
That’s odd. Matthews used to gush and glow when talking about Hillary. Maybe he changed teams?
And all week long your River City
Youth'll be frittern away,
I say your young men'll be frittern!
Frittern away their noontime, suppertime, choretime too!
Get the ball in the pocket,
Never mind gittin' Dandelions pulled
Or the screen door patched or the beefsteak pounded.
Never mind pumpin' any water
'Til your parents are caught with the Cistern empty
On a Saturday night and that's trouble,
Oh, yes we got lots and lots a' trouble.
Today, but tomorrow we may hear a different tune. His opinions make me dizzy.
Thanks for posting that fantastic photo. Mind if I update the NB article to include it?
You’ve got me hooked on Morning Joe...:)
I couldn’t listen to what Chrissy was saying. He had a glob of spit on his chin for the longest time and I couldn’t take my eyes off of it.
He finally became aware of it and wiped it away. Such a delightful fellow.
Thanks for the ping/watching/reporting. BTTT!
They do get good guests and have lots of interesting conversation. Lots of liberal BS? Sure. But entertaining and at times insightful, as this morning.
Funny thing, coming from Chris Matthews.
He’s been in Clinton’s “boy’s band” for ten years, playing “flute” if you know what I mean.
A few decades late...
Or the screen door patched or the beefsteak pounded.
Never mind pumpin' any water
So the small mind of the liberal cable guy has finally come to the conclusion that we conservatives have known for roughly 16 years or so, eh? Figures. That picture of El Maximo Sleeze O above really says it all. Clinton is a zero. A sleeze artist. His wife is a no-count who could never make it on her own...hence her clinging to the turd that floats.
