“You make that sound, Keith…I can do the same to you, okay? That’s what I thought…all right? And I said it.” — Chris Matthews to Keith Olbermann during yesterday’s discussion about the Hillary Clinton speech (which hadn’t been delivered at that point).
This morning a Huffington Post person described it thusly:
“Discussing Hillary Clinton’s upcoming speech, Matthews began talking about women ‘s reactions to Hillary. His producers, likely wary of any more cries of sexism against the host and the network, presumably tried to get him to wrap, as he said, ‘I’ll wrap in a second, I’ll wrap in a second.’
“Olbermann then tried to attribute Matthews’ point about women voters to Rachel Maddow, to which Matthews said, ‘Good ideas can be shared.’
“Then, when introducing Steny Hoyer, Olbermann mocked Matthews for ‘[going] off at the mouth’ and made a hand gesture implying that Matthews talked forever.
“‘You make that sound, Keith,’ Matthews said. ‘”I can do the same to you, okay? That’s what I thought…all right? That’s what I thought. And I said it.'”
