ABC7 Makes The Times: Raw Matthews-On-Clinton Action

Posted By on Fri, Jan 18, 2008 at 11:12 AM

It's too bad ABC7 News' flashy new website is so confusing or else I might be able to find the video that's snagging the local station some serious mileage in the campaign story du jour: Political reporter Mark Matthews' "verbal sparring" on Wednesday with Bill Clinton, a heated exchange of Dan Noyes-like proportions. Alas, you'll have to watch it on YouTube.

The New York Times described the exchange thusly:

"Mr. Clinton on Wednesday ripped into a television reporter who had asked him about a Nevada lawsuit concerning participation in the state's caucuses this Saturday ... the former president ... narrowed his eyes ... Mr. Clinton's voice took on an edge."

Ah yes -- finally found it -- here's the video: RAW Matthews-On-Clinton action. Get it while it's news. Matthews also blogs about the encounter here.

And just for fun, check out the aforementioned Noye's greatest hit: pissing off Mayor Gavin Newsom.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
