(43,867 posts)MATTHEWS: How`d it happen how`d it happen that Bill Clinton gets impeached, the only president besides Andrew Johnson to get impeached
<------- snip --------->
And that is that I think people judge presidents say Watergate, for example Watergate was really a function not so much of political misbehavior, which there was, clearly breaking in and covering it up, but that stuff has gone on before. It`s was we were in terrible economic times, people were so angry they were so angry, they wanted to blame Nixon a lot. They really did they threw
(CROSSTALK)
SCHLAPP: But it was also mitigated. A lot of those
BELCHER: Well, Clinton
MATTHEWS: They weren`t that angry at Clinton because the economy was doing well.

(28,262 posts)Put the first-rate Lawrence O'Donnell on at 7:00 PM. And relegate that moron Chris Matthews to the 10:00 PM slot. Matthews has devolved into a non-stop embarrassment---the only (semi)entertaining element of his show is seeing which new right-wing politico is the object of Tweety's spittle-flecked adulation. Meanwhile, Lawrence O'Donnell is putting out a continuous stream of sharp, incisive shows at the very end of the evening, when a lot of people are turning out the lights. Damn shame.
