Chris Matthews: Hillary "Could Really Rule This Country"
[REALCLEARPOLITICS] Chris My Thigh is Tingling! Matthews
... the late Tip O'Neill's former gopher who has magazines with centerfolds of Barack Obama

praised a potential Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as The Liberatress of Libya and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Edward Everett ...
presidency where "she could really rule this country" as a result of a decisive electoral victory.

"This country needs somebody to get control of it," Matthews said about a Clinton presidency on the Monday broadcast of his MSNBC show.

"I think she should go for a 55% victory, 54% victory because then she could bring the House in, she could bring the Senate in and she could really rule this country. This country needs somebody to get control of it," Matthews told his Hardball audience.
Kings rule. Presidents govern, a much more challenging approach.

#1  Mathews channeling ValJar. He'll get the extra point.

#2  After his rousing endorsement of youknowwho, Prissy Chrissy has no reliability as a recommendation.

Sort of an F-6 in the old Intel grading system.

#3  Over our collective dead bodies, Chris.

Be careful what side of freedom you come down on.

#5  I wonder if the idea sends a shiver up his . . . whatever.

#6  Public employees exist to serve, not rule, except in doctatorships.

Part of that service ca be to lead, which is very different than to rule. That is something which the left and their footsoldiers in the public sector seem to have either forgotten or never understood in the first place.

I wonder what Matthews would think about someone using the verb "rule" if a popularly elected person from the center/right were in office. No doubt he would be aghast. That would be appropriate also. The difference is that while people who are reasonable and morally consistent would prefer not to give that sort of power to ANYONE in government regardless of their political bent, the likes of Matthews are only offended when the opposition has it.

Conclusion: they are not a moral or ethical movement, but power hungry autocrats.

#7  Mathews: One or two tablespoons orally per day as needed. Use liberally on the catheter.

#8  Yes and your avarge street drunkard can handle an F22. What he can't do is not crashing it.

Stein: Farrakhan Friendship Is Why Obama Won'€™t Call Terrorists Islamic
[Breitbart] Tuesday on Newsmax TV's '€œThe Steve Malzberg Show,' Ben Stein, a comedic writer and former speechwriter for Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, said President Barack Obama refuses to call terrorists, like ISIS and al Qaeda, '€œIslamic'€ because of his friendship and Chicago political history with Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam.
Let me see, what former Chicago neighbor of Champ do we rarely see in the Main Stream Media these days ?

#1  The Champ not feeling well.

The Champ, not feeling well and concerned about his mortality, goes to consult a psychic about the date of his death.

Closing her eyes and silently reaching into the realm of the future she finds the answer: "You will die on a Jewish holiday."

"Which one?" Champ asks nervously.

"It doesn't matter," replied the psychic. "Whenever you die, it'll be
a Jewish holiday."

#2  Actually, it will be "Obama who?", Besoeker.
