The folks at Eyeblast have a hilarious video tracing the history of Chris Matthews’ adoration of Barack Obama over the past four years. They use clips from an old Road Runner cartoon to demonstrate the amount of thrill running up Matthews’ leg:

Actually, I’m surprised by the length and breadth of the Matthews sell-out. I have long since stopped watching him, so I hadn’t seen some of this footage before now. “I’m not supposed to sell” is a phrase that should embarrass journalists throughout NBC. Most times, reporters don’t have to explain that to their audience, but with Matthews and his gushing coverage of Obama, it must serve as a helpful reminder.

Update: Video should be fixed now. If not, you can go to Eyeblast here.
