The Situation's Jay Severin on Sen. Clinton: "She's absolutely sociopathic. ... She's the Manchurian candidate"

Discussing Edward Klein's new smear book The Truth About Hillary (Sentinel, 2005) on the June 22 edition of MSNBC's The Situation with Tucker Carlson, radio host and regular panelist Jay Severin attacked Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) as "absolutely sociopathic" and "the Manchurian candidate."

From the June 22 edition of The Situation:

SEVERIN: I've been watching Hillary Clinton professionally since her career began, meaning her husband's. I said in 1998 on MSNBC she was running for president. She's a committed socialist. She's very tough and very smart. Unlike her husband, ideas do matter to her. She's absolutely sociopathic. And she has a 50-50 chance of being the next president of the United States, save [Senator John] McCain. She's the Manchurian candidate.

Media Matters for America has documented several of Severin's controversial statements.
