"Thrill up my leg"? Forget about it. Chris Matthews's famous description of the excitement he gets from Barack is nothing compared to the tumescent terms in which MSNBC senior campaign correspondent Tucker Carlson has depicted the intensity of the MSM's love affair with Obama. Tucker appeared on today's Morning Joe.
TUCKER CARLSON: It's gonna be such a great election; it has been so far.Oh, I think Mika knows.
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Especially when you have the media loving one candidate as much as they love Barack Obama.
CARLSON: But it's more than love. I mean, it's the kind of love that anybody who's been a 9th-grade boy understands this species of love. Do you know what I mean?
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Wow.
SCARBOROUGH: No, it's the truth. It's all-consuming.
CARLSON: It's red-in-the-face, I-think-about-you-when-I-go-to-bed, too embarrassed to stand up, it's sealed-with-a-kiss love. I mean, it's real, it's palpable.
SCARBOROUGH: No, it really is.
BRZEZINSKI: Wow! What are you guys talking about?

This is what's going to make it a "great" election??????
The fact that they are not even shy about saying this on TV is infuriating!
And frightening.
mb I watched this exchange
May 8, 2008 - 07:24 ET by tatermb I watched this exchange and I took it as Tucker and Joe being a little sarcastic with those remarks. Could be wrong though.

May 8, 2008 - 07:26 ET by Mark FinkelsteinI'd say that it's not that, at heart, Tucker and Joe are glad the MSM is biased in Obama's favor. It's just that the bias will make the election entertaining, in a perverse kind of way.

Maybe if this happens often enough, the MSM will be embarrassed by their fawning crushes...male and female...and be shamed into trying to be objective....

Funny, but...
May 8, 2008 - 07:16 ET by sarcasmoAdolescent boy lust is the exact same analogy I used earlier in this election season when it came to Fox News being in the tank for Rudy.

Fox and Rudy?
May 8, 2008 - 14:00 ET by 911isbusyI don't know why you think so. Rudy was a RINO in the truest sense of the term. If anything it was a Fred Thompson thing first and then a Mitt thing second but I don't ever recall that shameless enthusiasm that now passes for journalism when it regards Obama on the MSM. You have a chip on your shoulder with Fox I've noticed. What's your issue with them? Specifically.
Those who have not swords can still die upon them.
No chip, I just noted their bias
May 8, 2008 - 17:16 ET by sarcasmoI nail Fox when they're biased just like I nail the others when they're biased. I call 'em like I see 'em, so no chips here.
Google's your friend if you don't believe me, but briefly Fox News has been in the tank for Rudy and Hillary early on, in part because Mayor Rudy was nice to Rupert back when he needed it WRT the NYC cable monopolies and the bias I noted at the time was the repayment of a political debt, IMO. The coverage made it obvious, they liked Fred but they LOVED Rudy, even when he was crapping out in the polls or pursuing his addlebrained Florida "strategy."

Maybe They Should Read Their OIF Critiques?
May 8, 2008 - 07:32 ET by ChasvsMaybe The MSM should take a minute and read their critique on how they weren't critical enough against the run up to the war. Here they go again, fall in love with an issue and run with it doing everyhting they can to support it. This time the end of our Country truly is at stake.
Perfect Analogy...
May 8, 2008 - 07:43 ET by reasonsjesterEspecially given the childishness of the left. Maybe when the media gets done going through puberty they'll wake up and quit publishing all their irrational garbage.

Country in trouble
May 8, 2008 - 07:45 ET by Blogger Guy00001The country is in real big trouble. The country may be stuck with a president who is elected by women with a sexual fantasy for him, and for repressed-homosexual men with the same fantasy!

Mika......"WOW"
May 8, 2008 - 09:07 ET by NKurucCan anyone say airhead? Wow is just one of the many words, utterances, sounds, faces, etc. that she emits on a daily basis. What a poor excuse for whatever the hell she is supposed to be on this show. I simply don't get it. Mark my words, when this election is over, and hopefully turns out the way that it should, a lot of these types will be history. Can you say Schuster. Matthews and yes even the ultimate fool, Olberman? Relagated to obscurity for ever and ever.
MSNBC.
May 8, 2008 - 08:45 ET by Missouri ConservativeI don't understand. Is MSNBC not concerned with its credibility as an objective media outlet? Aren't veteran journalists like Tim Russert and Tom Brokaw worried about damaging their professional integrity? Anyone who's anyone can blatantly see that MSNBC is nothing more than an Obama campaign PR outlet.

May 8, 2008 - 09:22 ET by mjgYou're right. I think giving Obama a lovefest and not asking the tough questions really show me how biased MSNBC and NBC really are. I don't think Russert or Brokaw have any integrity left.
It's gonna be a great election?
May 8, 2008 - 08:49 ET by Calypso JonesEspecially with the media loving one candidate as much as they do Obama? It's all about the media and THEIR choice.. Clinton in the 90's,democrats in 2006 and now Obama. The rest of us might as well just sit down and shut up cause the media runs the show.
Presidential?
May 8, 2008 - 09:10 ET by iveseenitallSo this is what the race for President of the United States has come to. I believe this is the true Bill Clinton legacy. He made the office a laughing stock and the MSM supported him. And once the media teens discovered that they could get away with their adolescent disrespect, they relentlessly attacked President Bush like the clowns in the back row of an out of control classroom. Now the Dims have nominated another child with a nasty, domineering wife. They are so immature, they are going to treat this election like American Idol, or worse. It's sad. Just another nail in the coffin of a once great nation. Hide your kids and protect yourselves if you can.

May 8, 2008 - 09:48 ET by mom_roxisia - agree, and I think the 'disrespecting the office of the presidency" started with the "boxers or briefs" question. Asking the question was in poor taste, but the presidential candidate (I'll refer to him as Willy in context with this blog) actually answered it!

May 8, 2008 - 09:18 ET by acumenI thought the most interesting part was Tucker's recant of a reporter beginning the interview stating; "This is a Wright-free zone." That pretty much sums up the demedia's stance.
I feel like I need a shower but 'm afraid I may swoon and faint. Love stinks...
Objectivity?
May 8, 2008 - 09:21 ET by expatriotSo whatever happened to the media being objective and not "for" anything? They cannot wear a lapel pin flag because it interferes with their objectivity. They cannot report the good things happening in Iraq and Afghanistan because it interferes with their objectivity. But they can promote a candidate for president and they are able to say that they are objective. (Scratching Head) WTF over?
Of course they are being
May 8, 2008 - 09:32 ET by motherbeltOf course they are being objective! It's a fact that Obama is going to be the savior of this country!

MSNBC. I'm melting, melting..........
May 8, 2008 - 09:51 ET by expatriotIf you are as low in the ratings as these guys/gals you do whatever you can to draw attention to yourself. I guess embarassing rants from one man about another man is the flavor of the day there. When are Matthews and Carlson going to come out of the closet and admit that they are now a couple?
Okay this is my opinion
May 8, 2008 - 09:56 ET by taterOkay this is my opinion because I watched the two make this exchange and of course I could always be wrong.
Tucker said what he said to make fun of the media (and most Dems) love affair of Obama. I don't think Tucker actually feels this way about the guy. Joe and Tucker were making fun of the MSM. Settle down guys...in this situation I feel like they are on our side.

Tater
May 8, 2008 - 10:09 ET by okiehawk44You're exactly right on this. Tucker & Joe are making fun of the MSM's "overly" enthusiastic support for BO -- it will be a laugh riot when they get over their collective crush on this fellow and see that he is the man "...who gave a speech..." just like Big Hil said.
And Rush is using "Operation Chaos" to poke fun at the all-too-serious socialist-democrats.
Our side needs to get its funny-bone back. Otherwise we are going to crash and burn as a country without even getting to laugh a little.
Finally
May 8, 2008 - 10:07 ET by bradbenj5952It has finally come to pass and I for one am glad to see it. The new media, talk radio, and NewsBusters.org have finally driven them out of their holes. No longer can they claim objectivity as they did before and more and more they are admitting they have none. Good job NB, Rush, FoxNews, and many others for driving the pretenses away as now the MSM is showing its true colors in plain view. Of course, those of us who knew what to look for - and had our own minds - could always see it.

May 8, 2008 - 10:43 ET by okiehawk44I disagree with you. It is ALWAYS OK to laugh at people who take themselves way too seriously.
Journalists lost any claim to legitimacy long, long ago. Don't believe me? Go to D.C. and visit the Newseum. A monument to their self-love.

May 8, 2008 - 10:55 ET by marpelMark, I'm glad you brought this up. I watched Joe Scarborough today and thought "What a sell out". He was so turned on with Obama all throughout the show, that I could not stand it.
If Carlson and he were joking about this, they needed to explain that. Even if some people thought they were, most liberals were jumping up and down and squealing with glee.
They've all lost their minds, I'm convinced.

It bad enough to have this gushy ick on The View, but on a news channel it’s as though our entire media has been propragandized.
God forbid they start calling him “glorious leader” if Obama gets elected.
