Chris Matthews is an assrag. Hillary Clinton would behead him and march round with it on a spike if it came to it. I bet he doesn’t know how to iron his own shirts either.

He and the rest of the punditocracy will end their honeymoon for Obama if/when he wins the nomination and they’ll be raking up all the dirt they can find. It’ll make the swift boating look like a teddy bear’s picnic, loathsome crew that they are.

Agree with Bluestar’s point about her being down so far in the NH polls that the media unloaded on her. It was all about what did Hillary do to screw this up so bad? Obama is so likable and such a good speaker that everyone was expecting his coronation.

BTW, “Iron my shirt” makes me giggle.

I hope Chris Matthews knows that his career is over if Hillary wins.

She’d wipe the floor with Matthews, I’m surprised she didn’t when he pinched her cheek but I suppose that restraint is required of a presidential candidate.

I read that article and thought it was RIGHT ON for one point in particular - that Hillary losing Iowa and polling low heading into NH suddenly created an atmosphere of ‘well she’s going to lose, let’s tear her to shreds’ and a lot (if not most) of the tearing took on an extraordinarily misogynistic quality. It’s disturbing that so many people are so ready to knock a woman back into her place the very moment they get the opportunity.

And as for the iron my shirts thing being a radio stunt, it really doesn’t make it any better, I don’t care which side of the spectrum it came from.

It’s true it was a radio stunt (thought up by a couple of men), but it still mobilized a lot of women who it pissed off. I’m a big Obama supporter, but I would have probably voted for Hillary after that bullshit.

Before people on the right side of the spectrum are Blamed or characterized by the IRON MY SHIRT sign,
Everyone should know that it was a radio stunt.

I think one of the main things that turned out women voters for Hillary in New Hampshire was when two idiot men showed up at one of her rallies and kept yelling “iron my shirts” at her until they were escorted out. This prank got a lot of coverage in the NH media and I think it pissed a lot of women off and they came out and voted for Hillary.

Hillary would kick ass.

I can never make up my mind on that woman but I do know that she is a bad ass.

Matthews wouldn’t stand a chance.
