Bringing Sexy Back

If you were bemoaning the fact there just wasn't enough sex in the presidential race to make it interesting there was this bit of absurdity from a press conference at Nashua North High School in New Hampshire as Hillary called out Chris Matthews of MSNBC over his obsession with her. It all began innocently enough as Matthews pressed her on the plan to bring U.S troops home from Iraq and the difference from her competitors. Mrs Clinton said she'd be "responsible about it", which didn't satisfy the dogged Mr Matthews:
Matthews: "No, you tell us the difference!"
Clinton: "I'm not on your show, I'm just answering your question."
Matthews: "Please come on the show."
Clinton: "Yeah, right."
Matthews: "Is that an answer?"
Clinton: "You know, I don't know what to do with men who are obsessed with me. Honestly, I've never understood it."
h/t Mediabistro:
Later, Sen. Clinton walked over to Matthews. He pinched her cheek. She grazed his with her hand and said in a mother-to-child tone, "oh, Christopher. Baby." Matthews mumbled, "it's not an obsession."

OH SWEET JEEBUS. The wheels are off the wagon with that man. He'll never live this down. Not. Evah.
Matthews mumbled, “it’s not an obsession.”
PRICELESS
Eeeewwww! I'm calling in violently ill now.
Is there a problem with the video clips? I can't view them.
Goofy fuckers. Too bad they couldn't use a little of that energy to stand up for our country and stand up for the people's rights.
The Borg Queen and Tweety? EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
I'm tossing my lunch now and I haven't had it yet.
Here's the real story of the Clinton campaign: Hillary Dumps ‘Comeback Kid,’ Continues Campaign with ‘Guitar Hero’
everyone know chris likes boys... especially if they smell good!
Go Hillary. That was great. Maybe she's loosening up the way Algore finally loosened up when it was too late. What's up with Tweety's hair? Is that a wig? It looks like it's molting.
No it's not an obession, he just plain doesn't like her.
When Joe Scarborough talked to her about this, this morning, she said in jest (I think) that her security people should have shot Matthews. Yes, she was laughing when she said it.
When I saw this yesterday I couldn't stop laughing. Maybe its safer behind the desk, eh Tweety?
Pwaaauuuuuuugh.
Tweety really wants her. He wants her to spank him and tell him he's been a bad boy. Then through his tears, he can feel the warmth of her forgiving motherly embrace.
And finally feel at peace.
Because reality is just too hard for him.
Gross. Beltway folk are simply NOT sexy. Any of them. Like, at all.
Biggus Diggus @ 9:
Molting!! LOL!! I thought the same thing!
pissed off patricia @ 11:
Republican type "humor" from Hillary .. who'd have thunk it
Hillary and Chris? Please make it stop!
Cute.
I loved the way she did the huggy part and then immediately started talking to someone else as if Tweety were just a simple nobody. She treated him like a child. Good for her.
Christ Matthews scares me. I love that Clinton put him in his place so succinctly, though.

Pass The Freakin' Barf Bag, Mother!!!
Clytemnestra @ 16:
I HEAR SHE BITES THE HEADS OFF KITTENS
Of COURSE Matthews is obsessed with Hillary. Matthews loves power, that is what "gets him off". Remember when GWB had that photo op of him in the flight suit with his....um....package in plain view and Matthews made a sexual comment about it?
Matthews is like many journalists, politicians, nay, like many people in general who achieve happiness when they have power. Since Matthews is a heterosexual, Hillary is like the person of his dreams, a woman with power. That's why Matthews wants to snog Hillary.
It isn't rocket science people, it's simple psychology and biology.
Umm.. I Hrt Hillarry
(i DONT hrt Huckabees!)
:)
LOL! Well played, Hillary!
Finally somebody called Tweety on his Hillary obsession, and it was Hillary! LOL.
Shawnmeat @ 22:
No that's Judith Giuliani
Tweety either needs to have his balls snipped or his wife needs some sexual council and therapy.
You gotta give Hillary credit. She has had to deal with Chris and Billo and she lived to tell about it. Plus she came out the better person on both occasions.
pissed off patricia @ 11:
Was it that crazy Hillary laugh?
Michael Smith @ 4:
"And that's a good thing!" - Martha Stewart
Clytemnestra @ 26:
After Rudy sucks the blood.
Inappropriate behavior by Tweety, and yes, it is an obsession with that guy. He's had it in for the Clintons for a Loooooong time going back to when he had his his CNBC show. Like most ex-alcoholics they replace one addiction with another but the main personality disorder remains. His addiction is political theater and his obsession is Clintons and lusting after Republicans.
Michael Smith @ 29:
No, not a bit. It was a casual normal laugh because when she said it she was totally at ease and being herself. It was fun to watch because she stepped out of character and was joking and having a good time.
And later that night, in the privacy of his home, Tweety spanked it.
You know he did.
Oh Tweety... your such a sweet asOL .. ha ha love it
Is it just me or does Olbermann seem to disdain Tweety when MSNBC makes him share the desk with Matthews?
Biggus Diggus @ 36:
Wouldn't you?
You ever heard the expression...."I think thou dost protest too much"...looks like Matthews sure proved that today...he has constantly and everlastingly talked about and tried to bash Hillary Clinton, since Bill Clinton did not hire him to be his press secretary way back in the 1990's.
Boy guess he was upset cause he couldn't get close to Hillary...ha ha ha ha ha ha she's too much woman for a wimp like him.
I did like Hillary's "yea, right" comment about being on Chris's show though.
Translation: Chris: "Hillary, Please come on my show to be shouted down and cut off in mid sentence!"
Hillary: "yea, right"
I also think that deep down, Hillary LOVES it.
Don't forget, her husband cheated on her. Everyone, no matter who they are, will be permanently affected by being cheated on. It's DNA talking.
So she sees that at least one person in the world wants her badly. Her husband Bill wants and has snogged with other women. Women like men who like only them, that way it raises the probability that possible children will be taken care of.
Matthews makes Hillary feel creeped out on the outside, but the hand gestures are a clear sign she likes it when he talks about her. The reason she cannot understand it that men are so obsessed with her is because her own husband basically rejected her as a sole mate. Thus in her mind, men do not want her. When she sees that men DO want her, she cannot believe it is true because her pain blocks it out.
It just amazes me, what Tweety and Joe want to report to us as important news.
She uses the old "kill them with kindness" ploy and it worked for her big time at this little meeting with Chris.
Instant. Erection.
So which one will wear the detachable penis?
... ewww.... >:(
Tweety's hair looked like the "Bob's Big Boy" statue -- pure plastic! His true personality coming out! I had to choke my breakfast back down, too. Thanks for a particularly troubling image...
'Please help me Hillary, my RATINGS are going in the dumper!'....."Yea,Right"....
Chris is OBSESSED with Hillary! He is constantly referring to her. If not the way she looks, but also her demeaner. I even remarked in an earlier post on this subject. As a woman who watches Hard Ball(yeah, I admit it) every night it is obvious. Either he hates her because she is powerful or he is sexually attracted to her. Take your pick.
Clytemnestra @ 26:
I thought it was MC Rove. That and stamp licking, or was it vice versa?
I think Hillary went to Chris to get a date to be on his show, and he blew it because he couldn't get off his own ego! That's what she meant about men obsessed with her! They are so busy trying to "get her" that they missed the opportunity!

I want a president who has the vision to bring America back from it's breaking point. Someone who has plans for a future for our children and the world. And I want "change" from the status quo. However, what is Hillary and Obama doing to affect that change, "ON THEIR WATCH"? They have sworn to support and defend the Constitution of the USA, yet refuse to live up to their Oath of Office out of political convenience. So what are they doing instead but promising a change they refuse to deliver on today.
BOTH say they're against the war but continue to fund the troops in Iraq.
BOTH say they're for universal health care and will let BIG PHARMA write that legislation.
BOTH say they're for increased provocations in the Middle East by the USA, WITH the Nuke option ON THE TABLE.
HOW IS THAT A CHANGE FROM THE STATUS QUO?
At least Edwards commits to ending our illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq. How about Afghanistan? What about that Nation? Status quo?
Look, if America wants change, then we need to be electing people who can demonstrably show they have that capability to be visionary enough, THE FIRST TIME, especially on issues where life and death rest in that decision.
EACH one of the "TOP TIER" candidates are promising "change" yet are not delivering ON that change. And that's acceptable to Americans? What they promise is their ability to "CHANGE" their mind about said promises.
Think about it...
Does Hillary or Obama support accountability? If so, HOW? Or are they supporting the notion that the president IS Imperial to the law? Now, what job do they want?
Think about it...
.
This appears to be one of those "Is that hair gel, Chris?" moments.
Chris Matthews: "I'm not obsessed"
Larry Craig: "I'm not gay"
pissed off patricia @ 28:
I'm not a big Hillary fan, but I've gained a lot of respect for her just the way she put this dickwad in his place. He was humiliated. With the press, especially the corporate MSM, no matter what she does or says, she can't win. Either she's cold and calculating, her laugh is a "cackle" or she's insincere. The Cryptkeeper, Imus, calls her Satan. What, exactly, has she done to earn this label? Start an unjustified war? Run up unimaginable debt? Torture prisoners not officially charged with a crime?
Can't help myself... I Love Hillary, she has my vote.
Max-1 @ 49:
If you want to make a point, why don't you say who you want to support?
LOL Chris Matthews got served.
Hillary's stock just went way up with me.
L.A. Confidential Says:
Tweety either needs to have his balls snipped or his wife needs some sexual council and therapy.
actually his 'wife' is a DRAG QUEEN ... that's what get's 'miss' matthews off ... drag queens ..
This presidential race is already reaching a dangerous level of psychotic.
Daily Kos has a small part of the Massive story.

We dont care here on C&L if its our "friend" and "ally" Israel is stealing our national security secrets. We can let the country that is a front for the Pentagon and British and Amererican MIC have the property of the US people, steal our secrets, because they are us= whoever they are.
Good job C&L....
So this Chris show. This is the kind of stuff they do daily? Besides all the yap yap yap yap yap yap and ego fencing that goes on between each other?
Weird
I like the way she handled that. She put him on the spot like he was an awkward teenager.
The Provokateur @ 59:
It wouldn't surprise me if the mole had close ties with Lieberman.
What's that scratching noise I hear? Why it's Jim Ward already writing up a bit for tomorrow's show! He's using the back of a pizza box, but what the hell...
Excellent. Damn, I wish she had acted like this concerning Hillary-induced, feeble-male-ego castration anxiety from the get-go. And I don't even say this as a Hillary supporter.
Also enjoyed Buchanan squirming in the corner with that "how do I get out of the place?" look on his face.
I think she handled it well. I can't picture a more graceful way to illustrate that he is, indeed, obsessed.
Maybe, up close, Tweety suddenly remembered that he is messing with a United States Senator and that in the end he's just another talking head? I'm sure if I were face to face with Hill, I'd be aaaaall with the "Yes, maam"s and "Dahuurr!"s.
:)
Biggus Diggus @ 36:
I agree.
brrrr.... Matthews and Clinton in the sack- that thought is where erections go to die.
This combined with the Obama/O'Reilly affair- this elections gonna end like fatal attraction. I'm waiting for Tim Russert to mail Huckabee locks of his hair.
L.A. Confidential @ 60:
Sort of reminds me of Fox NFL Sunday when James Brown sat there babysitting all those yucksters (egad, is there anybody more obnoxious than Terry Bradshaw when he's on a roll?) snapping each other with towels and pretending that everything they said was the funniest thing they ever heard. BAREly got any football knowledge out of those guys.
Kudos to Hillary for handling Matthews as the entitled child that he is.
He pinches her cheek, which is bizarre (Bush on Merckel?) but maintains her composure and
brushes him and his gesture off.
As a vociferous critic of Hillary's compromised politics I have to give up to her here. This is one of her finer moments - gentle but firm.
glennjamin85 @ 69:
Charlie Brown, I mean Russert isn't going to give up even 1 hair.
Now I've got an image in my head which I fear no amount of booze will wash away... a three-way featuring Hillary Clinton, Chris Matthews and Fred Thompson.
...creepy!
Why is Chris Matthews touching her cheek? He's a weirdo. IMO it would have been better if Hilary Clinton swiped his had away. Remember when the leader of Germany cringed and shook away when Bush touched her shoulders?
Anyway ick.
I watch Chris Every night ... Believe me .... IT'S AN OBSESSION !!!
I love it, she handled him exactly in the correct manner.
I don't usually use any of those little cute initials for stuff on the internet ... But ...
ROTFLMFAO
LOL! Priceless. "Baby."
"It's not obsession." Oh, the denial! So pathetic.
Kudos for Hillary Clinton on this one.
As for why Matthews is so fascinated over this segment, that's easy - it's about him.
Is it just me or Tweety sounds like Bill Clinton when he says "is not an obsession".....
Yo tweety boy, get a GF....if you can't then I can hook you up with some fast chicks.
OMG ... was Chris Matthews was blushing?
and here we have a nice, short clip that is video proof of the systemic problem with politics and msm journalism.
hugs? embraces? caresses?
seriously, if i needed to sum up the way msm journalism has failed us for years and years now i would play this video as an indicator of how the whole 4th estate (the coporate one) has become part of the game, and it is based on the mutual need of newsmodels and the political elites.
What the hell is he doing even touching the former first lady?This is a prime example of the sorry state of the American media and its disgusting sense of entitlement and "boys club" mentality.Of course he's obsessed with her-he never SHUTS UP about her.
As for Hillary,although she obviously had the upper hand in this exchange,it matters not.It doesn't matter what she does or how she does it-she's gonna get slimed.
Look at the sneering faces of the folks on that panel for example.This has been going on for 15 years.I don't Sen.Clinton because of her "Hawkishness" and right leaning politics,but this kind of gossipy trashy shit makes me ill.Only the Clintons have had to put up with such blatant disrespect.
If you saw Tweety's show yesterday, you would have seen that he's been hitting the sauce HARD on his little field trip to NH. What a mess!
Will America Survive Itself @ 76:
I am totally in agreement. He IS obsessed, and although I'm not a Hillary fan I love the way she handled his creepy ass.
Funny, Tweety. It looks exactly like an obsession.
pinkobait @ 82:
Well said. Imagine if bush and Laura had gotten this kind of treatment. We might even know how Laura killed her high school boyfriend.
Is this the part where we puke?
jwf @ 86:
Yeah those two have been treated with Kid gloves since they went to Washington,like they don't have "back grounds" of their own for the Press to rifle through with panting sleazy gusto.
Tweety has some SERIOUS issues with women. And a very telling predilection for powerful men. Maybe it's all that Catholic guilt coming out.
He's pathetic.
D.G. Bowman @ 89:
To say nothing of his conspicuous obsession with George Bush's package in that flight suit. A self-loathing repressed homosexual with mommy issues... as a Republican shill? Why that would be unheard of...
Shrillary shoulda bitch-slapped Tweety!
Oh please - Hillary's hawkish, conservative language is less favorable to Tweety than Obama's style? This coming from the guy who was wetting himself during Bush's flight suit strut and still piddles himself over any strong alpha male on a roll?
Since when did Tweety become such a freakin' dove?
Albatross @ 90:
"mommy issues" is a sharp observation.
Men like Tweety see strong women in a very regressive(childhood)light.
It really is pathetic.
Bit NOLA @ 13:
He named his penis reality?
He better never see the movie Reality Bites.
Ian McGarrett @ 73:
Fred Thompson would be a three-way by himself.
The few times I've watched, he's always had a comment on a good-looking woman's appearance. I'm sure he's been "talked to" by news director types, but he can't help himself. He went nuts when Dana Perino took over. He told Elizabeth Edwards she had a nice face. Why does he feel the need to say that? I think we'll hear about Tweety in rehab some time soon.
Ron @ 62:
Oh great, now we're getting into gay bondage.
Biggus Diggus @ 96:
He'll be bunking with Brittany?
Hillary Clinton was greatly diminished in my eyes when she told Barack Obama that the president of the United States couldn't just have a face to face meeting with the likes of Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. If President Hillary could confront those three as adeptly as candidate Hillary confronted Tweety, I think we'd be in a lot better shape, diplomacywise.
And THESE are the best this country can come up with? Jeeze. This is some scary stuff.
Any chance Hillary will do better with polls if she spent the rest of the election wearing black leather skirts?
Chris Matthews is a Whiley B. Coyote in a Tweety's clothing!
Maybe Hillary could get Prince to set Oh Christopher Baby to music.
