A memorable exchange on Hardball, brought to THE SCRAPBOOK's attention by the Media Research Center's CyberAlert; host Chris Matthews and USA Today's Tom Squitieri are discussing Hillary Clinton's appearance on David Letterman's show:
SQUITIERI: I'll tell you something, Chris. That appearance last night is why there's a lot of guys out there who secretly think Hillary Rodham Clinton would be a great date.
MATTHEWS: Date?
SQUITIERI: Date, D-A-T-E. A woman you go out to dinner with, take her to the show, talk and have a great time. Because there was a great allure to it. She came into New York . . .
MATTHEWS: Is there any woman you think wouldn't be a great date, Tom?
Badda-boom!
