VIDEO COMPILATION: Matthews Obsessed With Clinton Sex Speculation

MSNBC host Chris Matthews is obsessed with Bill Clinton’s sex life. Over the last four weeks, Matthews has incessantly raised baseless speculation that President Clinton may have an extramarital affair or engage in inappropriate behavior that would impact Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY).

He has called Clinton’s sex life the “800-pound gorilla stalking behind” Hillary Clinton, and suggested it would sink her presidential campaign. Earlier this month, Matthews asked about Bill Clinton’s “personal behavior” 10 separate times in a single interview.

Watch a video compilation AT LINK:

Matthews’ baseless speculation has the effect of turning President Clinton into a liability for progressives, and he isn’t alone. In December, the Washington Post questioned whether Bill Clinton will be the “biggest issue” in Hillary Clinton’s presidential candidacy.

But as Media Matters documented, “nowhere does the article offer any concrete evidence that Bill Clinton is anything but an asset to his wife or that the public sees in him the ‘massive and messy distraction’ the article suggests the ‘media-industrial complex’ sees.” A Feb. 15 Gallup report found that Bill Clinton’s approval rating, “more than six years after leaving office, is near an all-time high.”

Quotes:

MATTHEWS: I love the way you smile. I’m just thinking, is Bill Clinton going to stop trying to play Holly Golightly up in New York. I’m just wondering when he stops that, if he’s doing it, she’ll be better off.

MATTHEWS: Here to dig into all are the HARDBALLers, the Washingtonpost.com’s Chris Cilizza and Lynn Sweet of “The Chicago Sun-Times.” Lynn, “The Washington Post’s” Ann Kornblut is on this program a lot, wrote this big piece this weekend about, once again, Bill Clinton’s the target of conversation. Is this going to go away, or does he have to issue a statement of some kind, I’m not going to be a problem for my wife’s campaign? How’s this going to end, this buzz?

3. I'd rather have Bill and Hillary Clinton in the White House, with Bill

whoring around all over the world rather than George and Laura Bush, who treat the whole world as if it were their personal whore.

[CatWoman]

4. sounds to me that Tweety really, really

needs to get laid.

[Sadie5]

6. Some think Matthews has changed

And I admit that for awhile I thought he was coming over to our side too. But it is clear that Matthews was taken aside and the fear of Gawd was instilled into him. The RW will give him talking points and he will do as he is told. Just my humble opinion.

5. Actually. I heard the same thing said when surfing past Imus the other

morning. Something to the effect that Clinton was "hosing" everyone he could in Los Angeles when he goes there and "everyone knows it." I think this stuff will be out there and there will be nothing that can make it go away.

9. hosing?

What do you mean by that?

[Skidmore]

13. Ask Imus. I don't know what he meant by that but it sounds

similar to what the OP reported Tweety is saying though. I can't remember who he was talking to on the phone when he said it.

11. Imus is just a cranky old man

I used to watch him but he is just way too negative for me. Starts my day off wrong.

15. Hi sandyj999!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

7. That's great - I have no doubt that if KO was not on the same cable

station with Tweety - he would play that compilation. It seems like a very childish form of stalking (or envy) by Tweety - he is always yappin' about Bill's penis.

Maybe it is not envy - it might be that Tweety just wants to "get on him".

8. Why would a guy like Matthews expose himself like this?

He's obsessed. ..... OR ... there is a Rovian-GE plan in progress.

[tularetom]

10. If Clinton got laid as much as these dipshits think

he'd look like he was 90 years old (or be dead). On the other hand if he never got laid he'd probably look like Tweety (pink, doughy and drooly).

[Catherine Vincent]

14. LOL!

[butterfly77]

12. Its not going to work...

there is too much out there and no one cares about this but freepers, they are really afraid of Hillary...

[Poiuyt]

16. What about Giuliani???

Why is Tweety obsessed with the spouse of one Democratic candidate, when there are several Republican candidates who have committed adultery, not once, but several times? Giuliani brought his mistress into the mayor's mansion while his wife and children were still living there, he marched in the St. Patrick's Day parade with his mistress, and his first wife was his cousin. John McCain has admitted that it was his adultery that caused the breakup of his first marriage. And don't get me started on Newt Gingrich.
