The only reason anybody even knows who Chris Matthews is today, is that his show, Hardball, became appointment viewing during the Clinton/Lewinski scandal. Matthews was interesting because he was a voice from the Left who was willing to speak the truth and pierce the spin and dissembling of the Clintonistas.
How times have changed. Now, with a Special Hardball Documetary: Bill Clinton, President of the Wolrd (no, Im not kidding) Matthews atones for his previous attempt at independent thinking.
Eager to erase his non-orthodox past (which even earned him a stint guest hosting for Rush Limbaugh) Matthews gushes that the impeached President is more popular than Winston Churchill (in Matthew's poll of 1.)
Heres what he said on Morning Joe in the day leading up to the unveiling of his fanboy hour:
CHRIS MATTHEWS: "You know, Churchill's huge in this country and he's 70-30 back in England, and Nixon is probably 20-80 here, but in France he's about 60-40. You know, he's 100-0 around the world, Bill Clinton "I guess they left Sudanese pharmaceutical manufacturers out of that poll, whose numbers Matthews obviously pulled out of his whatever.

Monica Lewinsky put Clinton above *with* a Churchill.
Mathews has now turned the corner; he is certifiably delusional.

Need I say more?
I wonder how the people in Rwanda and Somalia think of Bill Clinton.
Ward Churchill? Yes, slightly, I guess.
Seriously, what is wrong with Chris Marhews? Does he come out with these rediculous statements for sensationalism and notice or is he just on too much bad drugs ??
He's a Democrat.
