More violent imagery from Matthews: If Clinton beats Obama, "what does she do with the body?"

SUMMARY: On Hardball, Chris Matthews again used violent imagery to portray Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, asking, "[W]hat does she do with the body? How does she get rid of a Barack Obama if she ever gets to beat him?" Matthews has previously asked, "Is the Hillary Clinton campaign trying to obliterate Obama's candidacy? Not just beat it, but strangle it in the crib before there's any chance he catches on?" Other media figures have also portrayed Clinton and her aides as violent or ruthless, including Maureen Dowd who once wrote that Clinton, like Tony Soprano, "is so power-hungry that she can justify any thuggish means to get the prize."
