Now I realize this isn't anything earth-shattering, but I happened to catch the tail end of Don Imus interviewing Chris Matthews about his new book this morning. Chris (whom I've determined must be schizophrenic) was offering his usual babbling hero-worship of Bubba, whom he refers to as the "Prom King President."

The conversation went something like this (Warning: Hold your nose for the Matthews "insight"):
Matthews: "As much as I dislike Clinton, you've got to admit the guy is something. He's tall, good-looking, and has all his hair. He bats his baby blues at you and then flirts with your wife. He can charm anyone, and is easily the most brilliant man we've had in the office. So what's missing?"

Imus (this is almost a verbatim quote): "What's missing? The man is morally and ethically corrupt. He cries, bites his lip and then lies to us, and is almost the dictionary definition of a sociopath. He is a sickening individual."

After a moment of embarrassed silence from Matthews (which is amazing in itself), he responded with a sheepish chuckle and said, "Why don't you tell us what you really think about the guy?"

It was one of those Imus comments that made you want to LOL. In fact, I did (and I was walking the dog at the time, so I drew some stares. But it was worth it.)

Sigh...poor Chris. Still ain't "gettin' it." Even Imus finally figured it out.

P.S. As long as I'm on this topic, did anyone catch Howard Fineman tell Imus yesterday that "Everyone is pulling for Bush...even some in the media."
Talk about a Freudian slip. Sheesh...too bad Imus didn't call him on that one.

Good report.  First of all, is Clinton really handsome to the left?  Sorry folks, that guy is not my definition of handsome.  Brilliant?  Puuuleeease!  The guy was a hick whose every word was doted on and drooled upon the the adoring media.  They were the only ones who thought he was brilliant.  But then compared to them, he might have been.
