Chris “Tingle” Mathews, has a new man crush and that ole tingle is running up and down his leg once more. But this time, it is not President Obama–over whom he has fawned for four years since the 2008 election when he first swooned at the mere mention of Obama’s name--but rather ex-President Clinton who is the object of Tingle’s affection.
However MSNBC’s (Most Sycophants Nuzzling Barack Constantly) strangest reporter set a new standard for bizarre reportage during the recent Democratic National Convention. And Hugh Betcha, voted Male Reporter Most Likely to Be Hit On by Chris Mathews, 2012, was there.
As he listened to Clinton’s speech extolling the accomplishments of Obama’s first term–such as high unemployment, unsurpassed national debt, passage of a health care bill which Congress never read and the public never wanted, and a stagnant economy–Hugh reported that Tingle began to sweat profusely, mopping his brow frequently with a periwinkle handkerchief. Fanning himself with a copy of the convention program, Chris turned to Hugh and noted:
“His newest book, The Wind and the Spirit (Stories of Faith and Inspiration)” was released in 2011 with all the author’s royalties go to support the Carmelite sisters.”
