Chris Matthews Wins Quote of Year; Compared Bill Clinton to Jesus

Chris Matthews will forever be linked with his "thrill up my leg" remark about Barack Obama's [a]rousing oratory. There's no doubt Matthews is among the loudest in the media when it comes to proclaiming, "Hosanna" whenever he talks about the Obamessiah.

But Matthews also won recognition last night at MRC's 2008 DisHonors Awards for comparing Bill Clinton to Jesus.

"There are times when he sounds like Jesus in the Temple," Matthews oozed on the February 28, 2007 "Hardball."

That line won the additional honor of "Quote of the Year" in addition to "The How We Adore Clinton-Gore Award."
