Matthews Hits Hillary For Denying Photo Showed Her Having Emotional Reaction To Osama Attack
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/05/2011 7:11:11 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

On his MSNBC show this evening, Chris Matthews criticized Hillary's lack of "humanity" for denying that, in the photo of her in the Situation Room during the attack on Bin Laden, she was having an emotional reaction. Matthews played video of Hillary suggesting that rather than reacting in horror, she was merely stifling a cough. Riiight.

On the one hand, Hillary richly deserved Matthews' wrist-rap for her blatantly phony explanation. Madame 3 AM obviously didn't want to be seen to be looking weak. But still, it was surprising to witness the harsh terms with which Matthews went after Clinton. Yo Chris, your guy pounded her in the primaries. Chill!

I wasn’t horrified. It was a cough. Yeah, that’s the ticket! Matthews hits Hillary for her phony explanation of Situation Room photo. Ping to Today show list.

Of course, she was just distancing herself from the scene. She knows it’s coming out that the photo was staged and that what they were all looking at so intently and with such grave concern was a black screen because they were in the middle of a transmission blackout.

Hillary is a good leftist, America hating thug...like Matthews. But, after all, she isn’t BLACK!! So, Hussein is Chrissy “leg tingles” true darling, given that extra qualification!!

The real big surprise from this photo is that Biden is seated and is NOT nodding off.

I’d weight the opinion of a Miller moth more than anything coming out of that cretin’s (Matthews) mouth.

As for Hillary - she’s a typical liberal - advanced off of her husband’s coattails, would still be serving burgers if left on her own.

When I want to hear from a real woman, I’ll ask Sarah.

She's having flashbacks about non-existent sniper fire and corkscrew landings.

Seriously, though. She says her stint as SoS is the end of her political career. BS. She has other plans....otherwise she would not be concerned with her image in that photo.

I read her as being concerned
for the SEAL team’s safety.
Thought she was getting an idea
of the calibre, determination and
talent of our military. After all,
it’s not often she gets to see
real men in action.

I’m proud of our military.

She could be proud...

of them...

maybe...

Best reason to get rid of the libs. They lie. They even lie to each other.

I detest Hillary as much as anyone, but I see nothing wrong with her reaction. It was stupid to make up an excuse about a cough.

I think it’s distancing herself from the scene for plausible deniability. They all were all too proud at first to claim they were watching in real time but now they don’t want to cop to abetting a hit job and want to pin it on the Seals
