New Screensaver for Chris Matthews? ChiTrib's 'White House Romance' Gallery

Chicago Tribune screencap from Nov. 20, 2008 The Chicago Tribune is so enamored with President-elect and hometown hero Barack Obama that it's featuring a photo gallery devoted to "White House romance" directly below its Web page masthead (see screencap at right).

The 28-image gallery features four photographs of the first couple-to-be including Barack and Michelle "shar[ing] a tender moment at the Election Night rally" and another of them leaving "Spaggia restaurant after dinner, the day after winning the election."

To be fair, Tribune editors did include photos of other first couples going all the way back to the Trumans. Even so, Trib editors sought fit to include two photos from the 2000 Democratic Convention of Al and Tipper Gore, including the infamous on-stage kiss between the then-vice president and his wife.

Heh heh! I'm sure Chrissie has a drawer full of Obama fan fiction too. The "heroine" is of course named Chrissie Sue.

It's the romance for the ages if they're both Democrats. If they're Republicans, she's a dowdy Stepford Wife and he's an abusive domineering creep.

I can tell television is going to go way of the newspapers for me, I still haven't watched shows I have watched forever since the election, I cannot take it, I will throw something through the screen.
