MediaMatters.org has Chris Matthews with seven Hillary Clinton power grab questions in a row:
From MSNBC’s convention coverage on July 26:
1) MATTHEWS: Do you think she [Senator Clinton] has the patience to try to help John Kerry and John Edwards win the offices they’re running for?
LANDRIEU: Absolutely.
2) MATTHEWS: Even if it means she has to wait longer to get the job?
LANDRIEU: Absolutely. She’s a team player, and I’d like to say this about Hillary, even though the press always wants to separate her out, she’s a team player.
3) MATTHEWS: She’s willing to wait her turn?
LANDRIEU: She’s willing to do whatever it takes to win, this year.
4) MATTHEWS: This year?
LANDRIEU: This year.
5) MATTHEWS: You think she’s really going to go all out for this ticket, even if it means she doesn’t get the job?
LANDRIEU: We all are, we’re totally united.
STABENOW: Chris, there’s too much at stake.
6) MATTHEWS: Senator Cantwell, you’ve been quiet here. Do you think Hillary Clinton is willing to sacrifice her own immediate political ambitions for the Democrats’ success?
CANTWELL: You can never be hurt in politics by being a team player, and she’s going to demonstrate that she’s one heck of a team player. And no matter what the consequences are, she’ll benefit from that.
7) MATTHEWS: When it comes to election night, will she be rooting for Kerry and Edwards even though that means she’s got to wait 12 years?
STABENOW: Of course, of course. There’s too much at stake.
At least these pundits are consistent. They’re always wrong.
“Hillary will be the nominee!” “Hillary will be Kerry’s VP pick!” “Hillary will destroy Kerry for not picking her as VP!” “Bill Clinton’s book will take all the attention away from the Kerry campaign!” “The Bill Clinton book is an attempt to destroy the Kerry candidacy!” (These are all sentiments expressed by Bob Novak and Tucker Carlson on Crossfire, by the way…)
Being consistently wrong hasn’t hurt that hack Drudge so far… so, how wrong to you have to be before people stop paying attention?
