In the post debate "analysis" tonight after the second presidential debate, Chris Matthews of MSNBC proved once again that he is in such rapture about Barack Obama that it cannot be believed. Tonight, Matthews cast McCain in the role of Snidely Whiplash or some such thing thing because of his "menacing smile." Yet, according to the sycophantic Matthews, Obama's is "debonair."
Mary Katharine Ham reports what Matthews said tonight:
Barack Obama is gifted in birth by a wonderful smile...
John McCain, when he smiles, has a somewhat menacing quality. It may not be purposeful, but when he smiles, you wonder what he's really thinking.
Barack Obama, for whatever reason, comes off as debonaire, even under attack.
What does Matthews mean "it may not be purposeful"? Is Matthews leaving open the possibility that McCain is secretly wringing his hands in glee like Doctor Evil over an evil plan about to come together if only we Americans are foolish enough to vote for him?
Seriously, what is with this obsequiousness that Chris Matthews displays for Barack Obama? Worse, how is it that he thinks he should be taken seriously with this sort of groveling, boot-licking?
Far from McCain being Doctor Evil or Snidely Whiplash, I'd suggest that Matthews is turning into Renfield to Obama's Dracula!
And now, let's enjoy a nice film to chronicle Matthews' emotionally overwrought love for Barack Obama.

Maybe he can get Monica
October 8, 2008 - 00:22 ET by mattmMaybe he can get Monica Lewinsky's old gig in Obama's administration. You think he's ecstatic now...
If Matthews gets Monica's
October 8, 2008 - 00:25 ET by Warner Todd HustonIf Matthews gets Monica's old job, he won't be out from under Obama's desk for four years! At least we won't have to see him on TV!
Do you think Matthews is
October 8, 2008 - 00:33 ET by cocodrieDo you think Matthews is shopping for a blue dress or a box of cigars?
If not that
October 8, 2008 - 00:51 ET by Warner Todd HustonIf not that, then knee pads!
We'll start calling him
October 8, 2008 - 13:01 ET by marpelWe'll start calling him Christine Monica Matthews.
How much you wanna bet he swallows?...OMG, I just creeped myself out!!....yikes.
Warner, Do you guys get
October 8, 2008 - 00:51 ET by CoolShadesWarner,
Do you guys get paid extra to watch MSNBC?
LOL...
October 8, 2008 - 00:53 ET by Warner Todd HustonIts in the hazard pay rules. We've lost a few guys who've turned on MSNBC and have never come back from it. Some have ended up in the wacky bin over it. But some few of us brave the insanity, nonetheless.
LOL
Hey, Mr. H,

When I'm at home, falling
October 8, 2008 - 12:59 ET by marpelWhen I'm at home, falling asleep way too early, I turn it on MSNBC. KO's mental illness and Chrissy's squealing gayness for BO raises my blood pressure so high, I'm good and awake for at least another hour or so...These highs and lows are getting to me though.
LOL
So easy to make a joke...
October 8, 2008 - 01:08 ET by jawebster1here, so I will desist. Sufficient to say Matthews is a joke along with his evil twin Olbermann, or Olberdork as Rush calls him. Jim Webster
Let's get this overwith...
October 8, 2008 - 01:48 ET by AgentAmericanI pray McCain wins via Bradley Effect...Matthews is really starting to piss me off..
Drill ANWAR
Matthews is about as deep
October 8, 2008 - 02:15 ET by marvlMatthews is about as deep as a mud puddle. Do we really care who has the most perfect teeth or who's wearing shoes with worn heels? Grief, I've even read that McCain came across stiff and old because of his war injuries. That should be a positive. The only "war injury" Obama has ever suffered is a jammed finger playing basketball. I'm certain, with his personality, he could not have accomplished or endured what McCain has in his lifetime.
Why don't we start picking presidents on the quality of their words and deeds instead of the quality of their haircuts and manicures? On that basis how can you support anyone but McCain? Obama is a vile and deceitful shape shifter with a shady past, backed up by crooked individuals committing illegal acts. Do we really want someone like him as president??? For God's sake, WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!
I hope and pray the Bradley
October 8, 2008 - 02:36 ET by Radar_OneI hope and pray the Bradley Effect is still true...but look at his primary polls...he always polled 5-7 higher than he got. MSNBC scares the batsh*t out of me and I can't watch it kudos to you.. Olberdouche needs to go back to Bristol ESPN was the most ratings he has ever gotten
Barack Obama= Half Honkey...ALL Donkey
Watch those hands
October 8, 2008 - 06:02 ET by Mica the MagnificentMatthews should be required to keep his hands on the desk at all times when talking about Obama.
I wonder if Keith Olbermann
October 8, 2008 - 06:23 ET by motherbeltI wonder if Keith Olbermann cares if Matthews...well, um, you know.... while watching Obama....
Isn't it funny how he always aims his jabs at the wrong target?
Wait . . . Listen!
October 8, 2008 - 06:12 ET by GalvanicMatthews: "Barack Obama, for whatever reason, comes off as debonaire, even under attack."
Do I hear a "tingle" running up somebody's leg?
STFU
October 8, 2008 - 06:43 ET by ChasvsHey Chris,
no one cares what you think anymore so just STFU!
Hmmmmmm...
October 8, 2008 - 07:33 ET by uncle guidoI think Chris is having issues "coming out of the closet" ... he is an embarrassment as a journalist....
"and the swing shifts farther 'left' as life goes on"........
He's no journalist!
October 8, 2008 - 07:51 ET by ChasvsThe hide his ass behind the role as commentator!
He gets a pass since he's not expected to be honest or unbiased!
Barney Frank would have a thrill run up his leg looking at this asshole!
Mr. Mathews, come out of the closet.
October 8, 2008 - 12:01 ET by lotrChris Mathews, please come out of the closet.
Everybody here just wants you to come out of the closet, Chris.
Nobody's going to be mad, everything's going to be alright; just come-out-of-the-closet.
Chris, Chris, don't you think this has gone on long enough? It's time for you come out of the closet.
It now appears that John Travolta is also in the closet, and he refuses to come out!

I'll say it again
October 8, 2008 - 07:52 ET by MrltavernHe's an appendage of the Obama campaign. Like Leni Reifenstahl for Hitler. Like Bozell said this morning, someone should just give pumpkinhead a Obama hat and a button. He has no credibility.
Mr.L
Obama hat and button? Not necessary!
October 8, 2008 - 08:13 ET by TexndocI was channel surfing yesterday and stopped at "Hardball". Now his backdrop is about a hundred Obama supporters, all waving signs. This is not a "informational" show, a discussion, or news. This is a commercial. One sign front and center was an official Obama sign as big as my garage door. Not one McCain sign to be seen. So he needs a lapel button?
I noticed that too. Chris
October 8, 2008 - 09:14 ET by SeashellI noticed that too. Chris Matthews is nothing but a fraud!
Matthews
October 8, 2008 - 09:08 ET by livingfreeThats it! I'm convinced, Matthews has the hots for Obozo.
No-one in their right mind would say the things he comes out with.
Some-one said he wants to take Monica's place, I think they are 100% correct. I hope Matthews reads these remarks, he needs to know what people really think about him. A big goof, pretending to be a journalist. He should go to Hollywood and join the other goof balls.
"Barack Obama is gifted in
October 8, 2008 - 09:12 ET by HockeyKid"Barack Obama is gifted in birth by a wonderful smile..."
But not, apparently, with American citizenship...
Chris Matthews is now officially Gay.
October 8, 2008 - 12:51 ET by marpelUnfortunately, with all the free campaign ads given to Obama by the reporters on MSNBC and CNN, there's a big possibility that McCain will lose this election.
In a way, I cannot wait until this is all over with. I'm so sick of Obama and his little band of followers who call themselves journalists.
At least, Obama's brought Chris Matthews out of the closet. I know a lot of gay guys, and they wouldn't fawn over another guy like Chris does. It even sickens some homosexuals...
It will get far, far worse
October 8, 2008 - 20:58 ET by Warner Todd HustonIt will get far, far worse if Obama wins.
MSNBC misnamed Matthews show
October 8, 2008 - 13:07 ET by AFBayouPatriotMSNBC should have named Matthews show "Screwball." This clown is as much a journalist as those idiots at the NYT. No matter how hard he tries, Matthews always comes off blatantly ignorant, no matter how much stress he isn't under!
