Is That A Microphone in Your Pocket Or Are You Happy To See Me?

Was it love at first sight or his own desire to run for public office some day that led Chris “Tingle” Matthews to drool over Barack Obama during the 2008 President election? Or was it a little of both? Whatever it was, Matthews, the proud recipient of the 2008 “Bambi” award for “Most Fawning Over a Politician by a National News Commentator,” makes no attempt to hide his man crush on the newly elected President. “Sure the media is supposed to be dispassionate and report the news objectively,” Chris Matthews told Stoos Views today in a candid “tell all” interview about his man crush on the new President, “but, hey, that went out the window with this guy,” he said, smiling as he pointed to his autographed portrait of President Obama which hangs prominently in the “Obama Room” in Matthews’ home. “He is so freaking hot!” Matthews replied, like a love struck high school kid. “Like Al Roker said during the inauguration, ‘Obama is one good looking guy’ and ‘he is one president who can take his shirt off.’ Frankly, I would like to see more of that,” Matthews replied sheepishly. “Talk about a stimulus package..he’s it!”
