Anyone know the root of Chris Matthews irrational hatred of the Clintons?

[IndianaJones]

He practically foams at the mouth when he discusses either of them.

[supernova]

1. Hillary turned him down?

[11cents]

15. Bill turned him down.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

2. Envy... Tweety wants a medal for his white-knuckle fidelity to his wife

[MethuenProgressive]

16. He's a war rooter -loves that stuff- so of course he hates the person who will end it.

"If George Bush won't end thsi war, I will." HRC

[polichick]

3. I think he was hoping for a threesome...

And they both turned him down.

[cboy4]

4. Tweety is a moran. n/t

[Cameron27]

5. His hatred is so transparent.

He's as bad as Tucker.

[notadmblnd]

6. I think he was expecting the job as press secretary during the clinton admin

and he didn't get it. Maybe that's why he's a hater?:shrug:

[eleny]

7. That's what I heard

His laser focus on them gets irrational.

[BrklynLib at work]

8. That is the story that I heard as well....Hell hath no fury like a Press Secty scorned.

[tularetom]

11. I heard he lobbied big time for the job

and that Hillary was instrumental in not hiring him. Apparently the rebuff was delivered in such a manner as to bruise his fragile ego and he's been pouting about it ever since.

14. Thank you for the information

I always wondered where this disdain came from. I figured it had to be something personal.

[polichick]

12. All kidding aside, I think that's where it started too. nt

[wyldwolf]

20. exactly right

[no_hypocrisy]

9. HE probably lost money on the Whitewater investment.

[Lord Helmet]

10. Jealousy?

[pnwmom]

13. The guy who salivated at the sight of Bush in his flight suit?

And at Freddy's after-shave?

He's one of them.

[Bitwit1234]

17. Maybe his brother didn't get an endorsement from them.

Or Monica wouldn't give him the BJ.

[endarkenment]

18. Monica got what he wanted?

And now Hillary is in the way too?

[karynnj]

19. He wasn't all that kind to Gore or Kerry either

[yardwork]

21. Tweety practically foams at the mouth when discussing anything.

The man is deranged.
