Chris Matthews-'Hillary Clinton is Now Calling the Shots for Senate Democrats'

Move over Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle-Junior New York Senator Hillary Clinton is taking over.

At least that is the word from MSNBC Hardball host Chris Matthews, who said that in Tuesdays swearing in ceremony for the new Congress, Mrs. Clinton's Democratic colleagues made quite a show of kissing her ring.

It all happened out of camera range said Matthews who described the scene he witnessed to radio talker Don Imus on Thursday Morinings 'Imus in the Morning' political gabfest program.

Asking about the FOX News polls showing that Mrs. Clinton is the 2004 Presdiential Nomination frontrunner for the Democrats the MSNBC-TV talker responded 'You know what is impressive? Sitting in the Senate Press Gallery and looking down realizing that Hillary Clinton is the leader of the Senate Democrats.'

'She is the boss,' Matthews observed.

'Everyone was circling around her when they were having that big dispute over unemployment benefits..Hillary was calling the shots.'

Unless both the war and the economy go south, and we have another terrorist attack

Don't think the Dims aren't praying for all of that to happen.

One thing for sure that this link reveals ( DemocRATS "test" Frist as leader. Hitlery gets ugly as Dems go back on promise. ), hitlery is the Big attack dog for the dems......kinda fitting.

[MoGalahad]

It's because they want to continue breathing.

[Mr. K]

Rudy can't run against her for whatever the same reasons are he withdrew from the last race... She must have his FBI files and have something over him

[Search4Truth]

"Don't think the Dims aren't praying for all of that to happen."

They are praying to the dark gods they worship.

I suspect, with good reason, that some Dems are active participants in seeing to it that there are problems. There is nothing they would not do to regain the power they crave.

SURPRISE .. SURPRISE .. SURPRISE .. /sarcasm>

[Mo1]

If she doesnt run as VP in 2004 first.

And who would be stupid enough to pick her as a VP

[ewing]

Edwards?

[DBtoo]

It probably about killed her to lay low for as long as she did after entering the Senate. She wants to be boss of the world. Everytime I see one of these Hillary articles it makes me so angry. I can't stand that woman; she's a monster.

[DBtoo]

Yeah, but she has lots of dirt on her fellow politicians, and she is not above exterminating those who get in her way.

"Move over Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle-Junior New York Senator Hillary Clinton is taking over."

This is good news! Let the other Clinton finish the job of destroying the Dimocrats. Where the Clintons go scandals, and abuse of power seem to follow.

[what's up]

That in less than 2 years Hillary has become the de facto most powerful elected Democrat in Washington

Isn't this what most of us have been saying would happen all along?

[Mo1]

Maybe ... but would he trust her as his VP

[The Wizard]

these two are about the only people I know that folks are waiting for them to go to Arlington

[ewing]

You are absolutely correct.

[ewing]

I guess the Libertarians will be the big electoral minority party now.
