Chris Matthews, the MSNBC television pundit who has famously admitted to receiving a “thrill going up [his] leg” during an Obama speech, is not pleased. According to a report in the New York Post’s Page Six, he was recently overheard criticizing the idea of a Secretary of State Hillary Clinton:
I don’t understand it. … Why would he pick her? I thought we were done with the Clintons. She’ll just use it to build her power base. It’s Machiavellian. And then we’ll have Bill Clinton, too. I thought Obama didn’t want drama. He’s already got [chief of staff Rahm] Emanuel and [transition team leader John] Podesta. He’ll have even more drama with her. She’s just a soap opera. If he doesn’t pick her, everyone will say she’s been dissed again, we’ll have to live through that again.
