Chris Matthews says Hillary is dumber than Bush
As an aside, and quite by mistake this afternoon, I found myself watching on of the most pointless exercises in the history of Presidential politics: Chris Matthews interviewing Chris Dodd on Hardball. I neither know nor care how he stands all the time, but during this interview, at least, Matthews seemed the friendly Dodd supporter.
As they were nearing the end of their little talk, Matthews designated two columns of candidates based on their repeated Iraq “strategy.” Most of the Democrats are Column A, he said, which means they talk about getting out of Iraq but they want to basically continue what President Bush is doing. Column B, people like Dodd, want to get out now.
Matthews said:
But Hillary is Column A, a smarter Bush. [pause while he considered what he had just said] Maybe smarter.
To a lefty, dumber than Bush is one of the more forceful insults.
He told Dodd that he was looking good.
I like the haircut, too. It wasn’t $200.
A swipe at John Edwards, as well, for a man (Dodd) who’s currently polling worse than funnier-than-Franken Stephen Colbert.
To paraphrase some fun stuff:
I find Matthews’s analysis and conclusions tired, unoriginal, and humorless (despite his futile effort to adopt a cheeky ‘tude).
