<<By the way, not only is Chris Matthews still a Democrat,...>>
I think there's a pretty simple test for this one Neocon: if it doesn't look like a duck, and it doesn't walk or swim like a duck, and it doesn't quack like a duck, but it does spend all its time curled up among the rocks with the other snakes - then it ain't a duck.
My (personal impression only), is that C.M. falls into the rather large category of "visceral" Clinton haters. My own wild ass guess would be that Bill Clinton reminds Chris exactly of some kid who was elected to be Class President instead of Chris, even though Chris knows in his own heart and soul that he, Chris, was much better qualified, and had a much better platform, and had done much better posters, and had been Class Vice-President the year before, and was just as smart and good-looking, and was much more active in school events, and...(and every petty personal resentment still attached to that event). Or, Clinton was the guy that the girl went out with instead of Chris, even though Chris would have treated her much better, and everyone knew that Clinton was only interested in using her, and...(every petty personal resentment attached to that incident). Or, Clinton was the guy who dodged the draft, while Chris and/or his friends and/or his relatives had to serve, and they were much better human beings than Bill Clinton, but they were killed and wounded, and...(Clinton is personally responsible for every injustice of war.) Etc. But, you know, that's just my impression - it could be all about Al Capone, I don't know. |
