Irony of the year — Leg tingler Matthews warns of danger of charismatic leaders
Wow, it doesn’t get much more ironic than this. Chris Matthews of MSNBC, infamous for his comments about a tingling feeling in his leg after listening to Obama speak and on multiple occasions has insinuated that Obama’s impact will be Jesus-like:
“I’ve been following politics since I was about 5,” said Mr. Matthews. “I’ve never seen anything like this. This is bigger than Kennedy. [Obama] comes along, and he seems to have the answers. This is the New Testament. This is surprising.”
Now, Matthews warns of charismatic leaders in his continued slamming of Sarah Palin.
Ed Morrissey of Hot Air provides us with some commentary and a video mix showing Matthews hypocritical attack on Palin:
Matthews actually warns Robinson that “Charismatic leaders have done this country and this world a lot of harm,” apparently oblivious to his own track record over the last two years in being Barack Obama’s number-one fanboy.
Of course, we don’t forget it, and I’ve mashed this up with a couple of highlights from Matthews’ career as a journalist in the Age of Obama:
It is amazing that what is supposed to be a serious news organization continues to employ such partisan hacks that make zero pretense of being objective in their news coverage.
Anybody wondering why MSNBC’s ratings are falling through the floor? Didn’t think so.
Stop searching. Happiness is right next to you.
has anyone else noticed that the most vehement denigration comes from elitists whose roots are firmly planted in the common stock that they so despise.
i wonder that they haven’t gotten therapy for the obvious self loathing that they must experience to go to such length to display their disgust toward the common people who display their common sense so proudly preferring it to the book learnin’ of the elite or is it like any newcomer to a group that they feel their bonds to the group they venerate is so tenuous that it must be reinforced with such strident rhetoric …
andersen, matthews, olbermann and their like come to mind.
