Did he or didn't he? Technically, Hardball host Chris Matthews did say "she-devil" when talking about Sen. Hillary Clinton during the primaries. But now he's fighting back over how it's being interpreted. "I never called her a she-devil," Matthews says of the phrase that has been dogging him as he considers a run for the Senate in 2010. Here's what happened: Matthews opened a November 2007 show that explored GOP attacks on Clinton, who at the time was the Democratic front-runner. "She-devil? Republicans are absolutely demonizing Hillary Clinton," he barked before the screen displayed Clinton with horns. "You can see it is where we introduce the topics to the show," he argues. Matthews says his critics at Media Matters took the two words out of context as they built a website around the host's sometimes outrageous comments. "This stuff has been cooked up," he says, "to build a case." Media Matters isn't backing down. Spokesman J. Jioni Palmer says the TV star has a pattern of "sexist comments," adding, "Chris Matthews speaks for himself."

I thought the “she-devil” comment was a reference to Michelle Obama.
Hey, if prissy chrissie gets a wet leg when he listens to Barack, I don’t want to know what that pervert gets listening to Michelle. He continues to be a P.O.S. and shows no signs of letting up. I hope that clown runs for office soon as it will be cool when his cajones get handed to him! (assuming he has any, anyway.)
“...Matthews says of the phrase that has been dogging him as he considers a run for the Senate in 2010.”
Gee, I wonder party he will represent against Specter in 2010? Then again he’s floated this idea before and never followed through, I wonder why?

I cannot believe that anyone would accuse slobbering little Chrissy of TELLING THE TRUTH -— why, that is unheard of!!!
Wonder if thoughts of a “she-devil” make his leg tingle?
No, that would be crazu Aunt Esther..
Chris Matthews is a she-devil.
I'm sure he meant Michelle Obama...
