Chuck Todd: Lot Of 'Clinton Kool-Aid Drinkers' In The Media

By Mark Finkelstein | December 13, 2010 | 18:49

A  A

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."

View video after the jump.


Enjoy watching Todd spill the MSM's beans.

CHUCK TODD: It's sort of weird: everybody made a huge deal out of Bill Clinton supporting the president's [tax] deal. I think it would have been bigger news had he not.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Yeah, but he could not have shown up.

TODD: He didn't have anybody from the left of the [party endorsing the deal]. It wasn't as if President Clinton--I don't know, this does feel like one of those moments: I think we're enamored with it in the media.  I think there's always been people, there's a lot of Clinton Kool-Aid drinkers in this respect.

MATTHEWS: You are getting so hard and so sophisticated!

TODD: This obsession with the shiny metal object that has the Clinton name on it.

Clutch, I watched this train wreck.

Submitted by Newsbubba on Mon, 12/13/2010 - 7:47pm.

I don't usually watch Chrissy except during the ads on Fox, but this was so fascinating I couldn't leave it!

It was an hour long Lewinsky from Prissy for Bubba.  Monika couldn't have delivered a bigger "organism" for the old fool!

The wrap up at the end was the best effort I've ever seen of Chrissy trying to turn chicken Shiite into chicken salad.  I'm just glad that I didn't have to swallow it.  He was absolutely orgasmic.

What a puke.

FChuck should talk about Kool-Aid - he's a chronic abuser

Submitted by SickofLibs on Mon, 12/13/2010 - 7:28pm.

I don't what's in the Obama Kool-Aid is, but it should be a Schedule 1 narcotic and FChuck should be behind bars for distribution.

"Chief White Correspondent" my butt.

Isn't there a liberal

Submitted by Chris Norman on Mon, 12/13/2010 - 9:47pm.

Isn't there a liberal commenter on these threads (three letter screen name starts with a "J"...) who has maintained that the media was roundly hostile to Clinton?

I am beginning to believe Mathews is a closet Homosexual and is the one who is getting so hard for Obama and Clinton...

Perhaps Prissy Tingles is angling for a threesome

Submitted by Dave. on Mon, 12/13/2010 - 10:37pm.

But, at his age, is that sort of activity really safe for his heart?

I mean, that famous "thrill" could be fatal at that level.

Thanks for putting that image in my mind.  Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to throw up until I pass out.  ;-)

Todd is an Obama kool-aid drinker and that's what drives his CDS.
