Pundit in Awe of Obama
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 6 Dec 2013 | John Semmens

Posted on 12/06/2013 5:53:19 PM PST by John Semmens

MSNBC's Chris Matthews compared his interview with President Obama to Jesus Christ's return from the dead. “He came among us,” Matthews breathlessly exclaimed. “He shook my hand. He sat right next to me. He answered my questions. He restored my faith.”

Matthews said he imagined that “this must be how the Apostles felt when they saw Jesus after the crucifixion and burial. I felt so privileged, so blessed to be so close to this awesomely great entity.”

In order to set up Matthews' meeting with the awesome Barack Obama, American University bumped Ballet Petite’s final two dress rehearsals for “The Nutcracker.”

Melissa Carney, the ballet company’s artistic director, called the decision “heartbreaking and unnecessary. We made the reservation last January. These young performers have been rehearsing since August. To cut them off just prior to their opening night performance was thoughtless and cruel. Surely there were other stages available for a sit-down interview. Mr Matthews has a TV program. Why couldn't they have used that venue?”

Matthews sought to minimize Carney's concerns by pointing out that “performances of The Nutcracker have been going on for hundreds of years and will undoubtedly go on for hundreds more. This interview was a once-in-a-lifetime thing for me. Besides, I think my efforts to rescue the President from the media lynching he's taken over the disastrous health care roll out are a far better use of the facility than gratifying the egos of a few juvenile prancers.”

Mr. “Tingles” Matthews just had another Obama orgasm. I wonder if there was a puddle on the floor by his leg after the interview was over? Chrissy was so proud of being in Dear Leader's presence, his bladder couldn't contain itself.

Almost a fail. Most of that is completely plausible and frankly very close to reality. You win with this line, though:

Besides, I think my efforts to rescue the President from the media lynching he's taken over the disastrous health care roll out...

Tingles would NEVER call anything his personal messiah and wannabe lover does "disastrous"!

Can you imagine the outrage if President Bush had kicked out the dancers? The left would have had a cow.

Thanks again for the ping.

“Juvenile prancers.” Well, he would know. He’s been prancing for a long time. :)
