Chris Matthews ' Leg Goes Numb

2013-05-16

President Obama "obviously likes giving speeches more than he does running the executive branch," Chris Matthews said tonight.

Yes, you read that right: The MSNBC host who in 2008 felt a "thrill going up my leg" after hearing Obama speak has grown disenchanted. Tonight's episode of Hardball saw Matthews delivering a rare, unforgiving grilling of the president as severe as anything that might appear on Fox News.

"What part of the presidency does Obama like? He doesn't like dealing with other politicians -- that means his own cabinet, that means members of the congress, either party. He doesn't particularly like the press.... He likes to write the speeches, likes to rewrite what Favreau and the others wrote for the first draft," Matthews said.

#5 Matthews is the kind of guy who would have gotten a tingle up his leg for Joe Stalin. Then when he became disillusioned he would have been shot. These days all he has to worry about is the IRS.

#1 In my short list of questions to one day ask God, this fellow's continued senseless bloviating and the fate of Andrew Breitbart are quite near the top of the list.
