Well, I guess a mafia metaphor is better than the David Shuster pimp metaphor that aired on the same network. Maybe Chris Matthews has been reading up on “Arkancide.”
Matthews does rip off a big HA! on the way to making one good point that Team Hillary won’t like: You can’t win a campaign against Mr. Sunshine when your central theme is essentially “Don’t get your hopes up.”
Update: Hillary has one less caped crusader in her pocket.

Surprise? Where is the loyalty when you need it……

I know what you’re referring to, but I’ve never heard the phrase Arkancide before.

I get a shiver up my leg every time I see him on a vid.
Seriously, Chris Matthews…KO…MSNBC…
Are they still on TV?

Matthews really scares me now. I think he might strangle someone on the set if they dare say something negative about Mr. Hopeful.
RW Wacko on February 15, 2008 at 11:54 AM
Well, I would not be so fast to assume anything yet, and she takes notes…..
I still think she gets it…..just sheer machine politics, so the old wisdom about a woman scorned……Matthews better be wearing shin guards.

Bill Clinton had a life of getting his “hopes” up. Hillary is still running away from that.

Gotta disagree. The “sunshine” market is pretty saturated, so tacking that direction is a recipe for primary disaster. They have to bring him down from his high horse, and you may see the beginning of that in Wisconsin on Tuesday.

Funny how Andrea and Chrissy just adored Hillary when the same kind of venomous assaults were unloaded on a Republican.
She used to be a strong, intelligent woman. Now she’s nothing but a kneecapping thug.
Of course this will all change again if she manipulates her way to win the nomination.

“The Human reaction to intimidation is… screw you!”
Quick someone tell that to the Brits.
Zetterson on February 15, 2008 at 12:00 PM
Matthews must be one of the most partisan liberals on the MSM.
He just doesn’t want that feeling running up his leg to stop…
Pax americana on February 15, 2008 at 12:00 PM
Yup. The American reaction to threats used to be “Nuts!” Whatever happened to that?
Bryan on February 15, 2008 at 12:08 PM
Anyone else notice that Matthew’s “analysis” more often than not sounds like the opinions of an unemployed loudmouth at the end of the bar?

Man love is a powerful force but Chrissy is playing a dangerous game here.
a capella on February 15, 2008 at 12:12 PM
Chrissy’s PSA about “don’t teach your kids hate” just makes me grind my teeth.
He is the biggest hater of any cable “news” program. His Bush-hate is legendary.
So when his smarmy, condescending PSA comes on – the hypocrisy is astounding.

Shocked and dismayed. ‘Kneecapping’ isn’t Sicilian….it’s Irish. They stole it from us, dab-burnit!
Hillary better think of something quick. My wife and I decided to cross over in the TX primary since Johnny Mac has it wrapped up. Ironic….her only hope resides in the enemy camp.

The beginning of a Hillary! Speech I saw on TV:
Clap. Clap. Point. Point.
“Children all over America are going to bed hungry!”
Inspiring…

In keeping with the HotAir style manual, I would suggest such stories be headlined something like…
SUPERDELEGATES: SECOND LOOK AT OBAMA!
Karl on February 15, 2008 at 12:54 PM
Don’t blame her lackeys, Chrissy. Blame her.
Of course she is going negative Mrs. Greenspan.
These are the Clintons; thugs with a smarmy face.
RobCon on February 15, 2008 at 1:26 PM
Conservatives added: “to you, *optional vulgarity*”
Liberals added: What can we do to atone?
BKennedy on February 15, 2008 at 1:35 PM
HUH…???….billy c has his hope up again…wow…with who…???…
areseaoh on February 15, 2008 at 1:36 PM
You know…it wasn’t hard to block cnn and msnbc stations on my cable network…done deal…can’t watch those morons if I wanted to now…
areseaoh on February 15, 2008 at 1:38 PM
Yeah, Chris, the Clinton machine plays hardball. Whatta surprise.
Poltroon.
mojo on February 15, 2008 at 1:38 PM
Not “dab-burnit!” The proper term is “begorrah!”
TC@LeatherPenguin on February 15, 2008 at 1:58 PM
Somebody’s got a man-crush…
Tzetzes on February 15, 2008 at 5:31 PM
If Hillary’s lost a net of -2, does that mean she’s gained two?
