How did Chris Matthews’ leg respond?

Chris Matthews’ Leg blogs its response to the Obama speech:

Never in the history of American oratory has such soaring rhetoric been deployed so majestically in the service of campaign damage control.

That’s why Chris Matthews’ Leg felt “it” again today. That electric surge of hope-change-love-peace running from his toes up his sciatic nerve. “I am healed,” The Leg declared serenely.

The Leg couldn’t help but admire the brilliant timing of Obama’s decision to bravely lead the nation in a frank discussion about race—choosing the very moment in which he is forced to talk about race to get his backside out of a sling.

Only a statesman of Obama’s skill and stature could successfully excuse himself for sitting under the teaching of a racist conspiracy nut for two decades simply by equating him with the little white grandmother who raised him and who apparently used a few racial terms considered politically incorrect now 40 years later.

The rest of Chris Matthews quivered here.

    I saw some of the speech and I can’t believe the media is buying that pantload. Those tears of Michelle O’bama’s must of been from hysteria watching him give that speech with a straight face

    Somebody needs to pour a bucket of cold water on Chris Matthews. He may not be able to stand up.
    Obama’s speech today was about the same as all his others-alot of words, but he didn’t say anything.

    Chris Matthews also stated this speech had much more impact on history than the Gettyburg Address or the I Have a Dream speech.

    This guy is dead last in ratings for a reason.

    Another reaction to Obama’s speech I just saw came from Hillary. She said, “I haven’t read his speech yet, but I’m glad he gave it.”
    I’m glad she liked what she hasn’t read. Everything is right in the world.

    Creeeppy, it looks like he missed his mouth this time, oh well he will try, try, try again.

    Forgive me but the cringe worthy speak of the grandmother that sent him to a private school and facilitated his attending Ivy league schools that taught him the eloquence that has brought him great fame and candidacy truly seems to pale in comparison to the despicable rage hate he, his family and his congregation were treated to during the spiritual guidance of Rev. Wright that he did nothing to change.

    Matthews is always as predictable as Olbermanless is when he spews his lines. What’s really interesting is how (using a line from BHO’s “mentor” and “family member”); “the chickens have come home to roost”, for the Democrat party that is. You know, the race/racist anti-American thing—as in the use by their mainstream members of blackface, Photoshopping and other bigoted and hate-filled tactics that are supposed to be antithetical to liberal-think. This is why the Dem party today is now solely based upon extreme leftist dogma and not liberalism. P.S. The so called pastor of BHO’s church sounds more like a mullah than any Christ loving minister I’ve ever known and after reading the “beliefs/rules” of this organization I would think “cult” is more apropos than church. IMHO.

    K Powers is digging deep in defense of BO. She is using the see no evil, hear no evil, defense. And she takes BO at his word, but no one is allowed to ask questions to clarify. If someone does question what seems to be unbelievable, your obviously rascist.

    Next we’ll hear, once he loses the election, is that Obama is getting one of those “pastor” licenses, and opening the “Church of Hope and Change”. If he does, I want to open a medic stand next door, selling ammonia capsules and smelling salts for all the fainters. I’ll make a bundle, especially when Chris Matthews faints along with all the Hollywood stars. With Rev. “Wrong” as a frequent guest pastor, things should go pretty well for me.

    That’s my main concern about Sen. Obama. He’s a very good orator. Very charismatic. He can capture the attention of the room and hold it. But after his talk, if you were to ask anyone in the room what he said, you’d get either blank stares or the word “change” over and over. He’s a good speaker, but he never actually imparts any information. Never says anything meaningful. A little too creepy for me.

    There is a quote from a movie that roughly goes “People will tell you what they are going to do if you just listen.” (Sorry, I can not remember the specifics.)I would expand on it to say people will tell you who they are if you just listen.

    Bill Clinton straight-up lied to the public when he said he didn’t inhale marijuana and they did not hear it. Then people were “shocked” when he lied about Monica. (Not the only lie, just the one he got caught red-handed making).

    Obama (also Michelle Obama) is telling us who he really is with his association with ‘Radical Wright’. Is anyone listening….?

    Matthews was a shill for the demos when he was writing in the San Francisco Examiner and he hasn’t changed a bit. He sucks up to whoever appears to be winning. A year ago it was Hillary, and now it’s Obama. It was a good speach, but remember, it was just a speach.

    Do tease us Bro. Two legs up would mean he would fall flat on his bum.

    I wonder if his other leg quivered when Obama, after saying all weekend that he had not known anything about the reverend’s political views, and that he had never been in church when the reverend was making “controversial” statements, admitted on Tuesday that he had in fact.

    It’s what’s known as a lie.

    Don’t forget that Chrissie was a speech writer for Carter. I think one infamous example was the malaise im America one.

    There was some talk that Matthews would run for US Senator from Pa. I guess he would fit in with the rest of the pompous jerks. Talk is that Al Franken will likely be the new senator from Minn. The American people are a few cans short of a six pack in the intelligence area.
