Breaking news: Official Chris Matthews leg thrill reported
posted at 8:23 pm on April 1, 2009 by Allahpundit
Sounds like a big one, too, but then it’s been building for a few days. Obama and his wife got on a helicopter and then they got on a plane and then they met some world leaders and they looked pretty chipper about the whole deal. Ergo, leg thrill. I’m just glad Matthews finally has an outlet for his long dormant Camelot-encoded hagiographical impulses. He’s waited 45 years to effuse about presidential celebrity. He deserves a little jiggly leg now and then.
What do you suppose would happen if we showed him this clip? Click the image to watch.

Matthews’ hair dye looks ridiculous.
ddrintn on April 1, 2009 at 8:24 PM
Is Tweety on Twitter?
JammieWearingFool on April 1, 2009 at 8:25 PM
It would probably get x-rated. And the spittle-flecks…my god, the spittle flecks….
AUINSC on April 1, 2009 at 8:26 PM
“I’m coming!”
blatantblue on April 1, 2009 at 8:26 PM
Nah, I think he got this excited about George and Laura Bush too. I will see if I can find a clip. BRB
carbon_footprint on April 1, 2009 at 8:26 PM
Gah. Why did I just watch that?
Redhead Infidel on April 1, 2009 at 8:29 PM
It is really quite sad that Matthews got that excited about this particular event.
His personal life must be a giant void.
myrenovations on April 1, 2009 at 8:29 PM
Matthews is a weirdo.
Robert_Paulson on April 1, 2009 at 8:30 PM
I wonder if he makes Mrs. Matthews dress up like Michelle or Obama.
sherry on April 1, 2009 at 8:31 PM

LMAO!!!!
alexraye on April 1, 2009 at 8:32 PM
Well, he did state that his job was to “Make sure that the Obama Presidency is a success.”
And here I thought his checks were signed by Zucker.
SteveMG on April 1, 2009 at 8:32 PM
My God, that CNN video makes Michelle Ob, look like a cow…

Pukifying…
katy on April 1, 2009 at 8:33 PM
Hey Chris! Just remember:
Eilberg — 76%
Matthews — 24%
Robert_Paulson on April 1, 2009 at 8:34 PM
Hey Chris may be thrilled. But according to the MailOnline the Brits are less so… they get their dig into Bush but… at least this writer sees what I see… a pretty boy out of his depth. Link on Drudge about Brown laughing.

“royal family of the United States”
*barfs in mouth*
Joe Caps on April 1, 2009 at 8:36 PM
By the way I have yet to eat dinner… I don’t need an image of Chris Matthews ummm well you know.
petunia on April 1, 2009 at 8:37 PM
I did not watch it because I’m not into immature daft lemmings acting their nature in front of a camera hoping people will hop up and down in excited agreement with him.
In short, he’s an idiot and I’m not giving him any attention.
Spiritk9 on April 1, 2009 at 8:37 PM
That isn’t “their” plane Kissy, it belongs to the American people and he has been allowed to use it.
thomasaur on April 1, 2009 at 8:40 PM
Hilarious!
aquaviva on April 1, 2009 at 8:44 PM
Matthews knows that the President doesn’t really love Michelle, that he just needs her for appearances. Chris knows where Obama’s heart really lies. He knows what Obama really wants. And he’s ready, whenever the President needs him…he’s ready…He’ll go to Europe for him…he’d go anywhere for Him…
But for now Chris waits. Softly sobbing into his Haagen-Daz while cutting himself.
29Victor on April 1, 2009 at 8:44 PM
The world (and suckers like Matthews) “like” the Obamas because they are a symbol of the weakening of America.
The rival powers are glad to see us losing strength~ as a incompetent neophyte and unqualified junior pol like Obama coming to office shows~ and those at home, who do not like America being so powerful, and such a “global bully” (of the Matthews ilk) unconsciously register this same “it is nice to see America humbled” smugness.
Obama in the Oval Office means: “America is faltering and becoming weak“.
That is the only reason the world cheers his symbol.
They love us to lose.
Envious peckers all.
profitsbeard on April 1, 2009 at 8:44 PM
Was he touching himself?
Mr Snuggle Bunny on April 1, 2009 at 8:44 PM
Gag me with a spoon.
I’ve been paying attention to all the photos of Michelle on display on the magazines at checkout counters. Am I the only one who has noticed the degree of airbrushing and photoshopping they’ve done to her mug? I saw one today where she had the cutest little chin and a light brown perfectly smooth complexion. I mean, give me a break.
I’m half expecting we will all soon drown in a sunami of drool from the MSM bootlickers going ga-ga over the Obamas.
fogw on April 1, 2009 at 8:46 PM
One point you forgot to add: Obama doesn’t just need her for appearances; I’ll be willing to bet he’s scared to death of Michelle. If he tries to divorce her, she’s rip one of his legs off and beat him with the soggy end.
austinnelly on April 1, 2009 at 8:47 PM
argh. she’d, not she’s.
austinnelly on April 1, 2009 at 8:47 PM
At this rate,Chrissy is going to knock himself up!!!!!!!!!
canopfor on April 1, 2009 at 8:47 PM
Maybe this is a fitting analogy. It seems that most lottery winners get a ton of cash (power) that they’re not accustomed to having (no executive experience). They then find that they’re surrounded by a bunch of people with their hands out (unions, congress, the list goes on). Not knowing how to handle their newfound wealth (power), they make unwise spending decisions (AIG, GM, etc…). Ultimately, they blow all of that dough (massive deficits in the next few years) and find themselves living in a trailer park with nothing to their name (we can only hope!)
But, maybe that’s just me
mctowler on April 1, 2009 at 8:48 PM
dude you’d be afraid too…..
sven10077 on April 1, 2009 at 8:49 PM
Meanwhile the DNC is mocking Michael Steele and the GOP for losing the NY 20th race.
Seems they are cocksure they have won hmm…..
William Amos on April 1, 2009 at 8:50 PM
mctowler on April 1, 2009 at 8:48 PM
I like that analogy.
myrenovations on April 1, 2009 at 8:50 PM
So this is unusual coming from the MSM? Yeah, right.
perroviejo on April 1, 2009 at 8:52 PM
HA!
getalife on April 1, 2009 at 8:53 PM
As a greedy capitalist I just realized that i could make a killing selling shirtless Obama posters to Matthews, Olbermann, Couric, Gibson, Williams, Lauer, etc. These girlie men will obviously pay more than the women.
perroviejo on April 1, 2009 at 8:55 PM
Ed Shultz gets a show on MSNBC.
getalife on April 1, 2009 at 8:55 PM
I agree. HotAir rules!
fogw on April 1, 2009 at 8:56 PM
I never knew Matthews was a fan of Star Trek………….
…………… GO LT. WORF!!!
Seven Percent Solution on April 1, 2009 at 8:57 PM
I don’t see her needing a weapon with him. I bet she could intimidate him with a foot long wax wrapped salami.
O/T and who gives a f*ck? There’s a Schulz thread elsewhere on the site. So, what you’re basically saying is, not only are you annoying, but you’re illiterate and stupid too?
austinnelly on April 1, 2009 at 8:58 PM
send it to his wife….and his mother!
thebrokenrattle on April 1, 2009 at 9:00 PM
It’s not official until he gets fitted for knee pads.
fogw on April 1, 2009 at 9:00 PM
They are like our King and Queen. Finally a young, good-looking, hip thin couple for kids to look up to instead of the same old wrinkly white men. Camelot 2.0 is here!
dcwvu on April 1, 2009 at 9:01 PM
Embarassing. Note to the girls: they did just win the lottery! With no record of accomplishment, a history of radicalism and advocacy ballot stuffing by the media…. clearly did beat the odds that would have doomed other candidates.
moxie_neanderthal on April 1, 2009 at 9:02 PM
Matthews acted the same over Bill Clinton. He’s gay.
Blake on April 1, 2009 at 9:04 PM
link?
oh thats rights. you’re just a hater. Well, just b/c you’re afraid of women doesn’t mean Obama should be.
Nastiness aside. I just don’t get the venom leveled at Michelle. The woman is digging up gardens & visiting school children. WHERE is the Hillary-like takeover of policies?
i’ll wait.
TruUSA on April 1, 2009 at 9:05 PM
I only wish that upon winning the lottery the Obamas had taken the DVD collection and iPod prize package instead of the cash option.
moxie_neanderthal on April 1, 2009 at 9:05 PM

I have had one of the most horrible 2 days ever but ty for that ridiculous post… It made me laugh and laugh..
He is a moron with no taste or class and she is his beard with a big fat a**. I swear I did not mean to make a rhyme.

You must lead a very empty life only highlighted when your People magazine arrives in the mail.
sherry on April 1, 2009 at 9:08 PM
Wrong!
Wife to Chris:
Can you not dress up like Michelle?
Blake on April 1, 2009 at 9:08 PM
While I don’t feel venom towards Michelle Obama, I don’t recall Hillary on the campaign trail with Bill saying anything like this: “for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country.”
INC on April 1, 2009 at 9:10 PM

I’d say ROFL but it is all too true.

Chrissy really does want to have sex with BHO, doesn’t he?
Hog Wild on April 1, 2009 at 9:11 PM
Matthews is a strange little fellow for sure. Kind of like a taller Keebler elf.
jeanie on April 1, 2009 at 9:12 PM
No, I am not a con.
getalife on April 1, 2009 at 9:13 PM
quite the contrary you are all “con”….
sven10077 on April 1, 2009 at 9:15 PM
getalife,
Yes you are. Just not in the sense you meant.
Lummox on April 1, 2009 at 9:15 PM
We know that. You’re annoying, illiterate, and stupid.
Blake on April 1, 2009 at 9:15 PM
Chrissy really does want to have sex with BHO,doesnt he?

Hog Wild: Just great,another HBO Special!haha:)
canopfor on April 1, 2009 at 9:16 PM
Wow, getalife’s spinster aunt showed up.
O’bama eats Spam when he’s on vacation. Since when is eating Spam considered “hip”.
Del Dolemonte on April 1, 2009 at 9:19 PM
I didn’t know Obama was a drug addled serial adulterer who plans to launch us into a decade long war in South East Asia (the spineless vapidity I was aware)……what’s your source?
moxie_neanderthal on April 1, 2009 at 9:19 PM
Unfortunately for your world view, it was O’bama who won 70 percent of the high school dropout vote in 2008, not McCain. He only got 29 percent.
Del Dolemonte on April 1, 2009 at 9:20 PM
I can’t watch that a$$clown, but the comments are fun to read :)
You know, this whole bunch just doesn’t scream leadership. It screams Hollywood. Interesting to see what groundbreaking change is going to come of this meeting. I just don’t see anyone there who could possibly pull off saving the economy.
scalleywag on April 1, 2009 at 9:20 PM
Poor Chris … he’s already “ruing” the day he talked about that “Thrill” …
No matter what he does in his career … he’ll always be known for that one instant in time when he became enthralled in exclamatory sexual “bliss” for “The One”.
He’s even now turned to mocking it himself in an attempt to minimize the damage.
HondaV65 on April 1, 2009 at 9:23 PM
Yea, and if I were Obama I’d be a little creeped out by some of his comments too. He’s probably on a list of people to watch.
scalleywag on April 1, 2009 at 9:23 PM
Just goes to prove that if you want intelligent discourse, don’t watch Chris Matthews.
GarandFan on April 1, 2009 at 9:26 PM
I really wish that I hadn’t eaten dinner before watching this. How do people watch msnbc without being on drugs? Also, what does he mean by ‘flying on their own plane’? Although, I do realize that bobo thinks that he now owns the world.
pcpower1 on April 1, 2009 at 9:26 PM

Defector01 on April 1, 2009 at 9:29 PM

Yes… But a more telling statistic is that Obama received 99.99% of the “hand out and waiting” vote.

RalphyBoy on April 1, 2009 at 9:29 PM
I think it’s too late. The thrill comment is going in his obituary. It’s probably the most memorable thing he has ever said.
sherry on April 1, 2009 at 9:30 PM
Have you never seen any pictures of Jackie when she was First Lady?
Here are some from her famous May 1961 visit to Paris.

Hey…don’t criticize Chris Matthews!
I love his new music video! He’s not the best singer, but good at guitar!

I just watched Media Malpractice, and I just don’t understand how a brain as small as Chris Matthews’ can have so many things wrong with it.
Jim Treacher on April 1, 2009 at 9:36 PM
Good for Ed..Now he can get b**ch slapped everyday on TV by FOX just as he gets it from Rush on Radio!!

Perhaps we should organize a drive to send Chris Matthews boxes of Kleenex, so he can clean up properly after his repeated on-air Obamagasms…?

milwife88 on April 1, 2009 at 10:02 PM
Just like Fox News in love with w in 2000.
They will turn on him in his second term .
getalife on April 1, 2009 at 10:03 PM
I think the Brits have a differing opinion
Money Quote….
Mr Obama was a disappointment…..He spoke slowly, in a meandering manner. Some might say that he was thoughtful and professorial. Others might call his manner circuitous, even yarny.
Am I saying that he was a bore? Oh dear. I find that I possibly am.
Tony Soprano on April 1, 2009 at 10:05 PM
I had a thrill down my leg a few times between the ages of thirteen and forty five.
Tony Soprano on April 1, 2009 at 10:07 PM
Do you think Chrissy can call Monica and borrow the blue dress to wear on Hardball??
Dire Straits on April 1, 2009 at 10:08 PM
Normally when I imagine a slobbering man giving a death hug to another man’s legs I assume he is pleading for his life ….but apparently Matthews just enjoys the position.
moxie_neanderthal on April 1, 2009 at 10:08 PM
The fugliest first couple since the Lincolns.
TexasJew on April 1, 2009 at 10:16 PM
Nope, no luck and I give up.
carbon_footprint on April 1, 2009 at 10:28 PM
How cute, the King of America.
carbon_footprint on April 1, 2009 at 10:32 PM
It’s amazing that Matthews was able to keep it in his pants during this segment.
pmanley on April 1, 2009 at 10:38 PM
Matthews looks like an orangatang!
dhunter on April 1, 2009 at 10:49 PM
He won’t do a second term. Mark my words…..TOTUS will not do a second term. Lay off of the Kool Aid………
