Does Gene Lyons get a 'tingle in his knees' when Obama speaks?
Probably in his anus.
.
You just have to remember that back in the day, Bill Clinton never had to use toilet paper, because good ol' Gene "Lyin'" Lyons was giving him a weekly Wash & Simonize of his nether regions.
There were rumors that Lyons cross-checked Monica Lewinsky into the boards more than a few times in the rush to see who would get to service The Big He.
Apparently, Gene liked the taste of Democrat Presidential bung so much that he's extended the privilege to Oclownma.
