Chuck Todd: Lot Of 'Clinton Kool-Aid Drinkers' In The Media
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Some refreshing frankness from Chuck Todd today. Commenting on the MSM hoopla about Bill Clinton's recent White House press room solo, NBC's political director and chief White House correspondent acknowledged that there are "a lot of Clinton Kool-Aid drinkers" in the media.

Chris Matthews, who had played a couple Clinton clips and gushed over his brilliance, protested that Todd was getting "so hard."

They drink the Clinton KoolAid because they’re all DEMOCRATS.

The hilarity of this is that the Left is using our lexicon for Clinton and Leftist supporters. "Kool-Aid Drinkers" is a very appropriate term.

Chuck Todd has been labeled so extensively as one of Obama’s star gazers that he must believe it may help his case to label othes as kool-aid drinkers for Clinton.

Chuch huffs and puffs at Robert Gibbs and to Obama in press conferences, but on his show and as a guest elsewhere he is so in the tank, as you might expect. After all he works for MSNBC.

Ummm - I have to be careful how I say this. In light of Mr. Matthews previous comments about President 0bama, can someone interpret this comment for me? "Hard" how?

He’s jealous. Chuck Todd is the #1 Obama Kool-Aid drinker.

I can just imagine what the media would be saying had W brought in the last republican president (his daddy) to help him sell something.

Rush nailed it. He said what we’re trying to do is NOT revert to Clinton’s tax rate. Bizzaro world.

I guess next to Narcissist 2, Obama, Narcissist 1, Clinton comes off as brilliant.But objectively it is difficult to listen to Clinton because he is a dull bore and Friday’s presser confirmed that point. He could have said in 20 words what he said in 5000.Seems every Clinton groupie in the media surfaced after that presser to declare his brilliance.

“....as one of Obama’s star gazers that he must believe it may help his case to label othes as kool-aid drinkers for Clinton.”

That was my take, too .. but I’ll take any fissures on the D side, especially the MSM. They take each other so very seriously, while the rest of us laugh or yawn.

All they are arguing about is what flavor of Kool-Aid is the best.
