MSM's Obama-love: 'Like a 9th-Grade Boy Embarrassed to Stand Up'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/08/2008 5:04:18 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

"Thrill up my leg"? Forget about it. Chris Matthews's famous description of the excitement he gets from Barack is nothing compared to the tumescent terms in which MSNBC senior campaign correspondent Tucker Carlson has depicted the intensity of the MSM's love affair with Obama. Tucker appeared on today's Morning Joe.

TUCKER CARLSON: It's gonna be such a great election; it has been so far.

JOE SCARBOROUGH: Especially when you have the media loving one candidate as much as they love Barack Obama.

CARLSON: But it's more than love. I mean, it's the kind of love that anyone who's been a 9th-grade boy understands this species of love. Do you know what I mean?

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Wow.

SCARBOROUGH: No, it's the truth. It's all-consuming.

CARLSON: It's red-in-the-face, I-think-about-you-when-I-go-to-bed, too embarrassed to stand up, it's sealed-with-a-kiss love. I mean, it's real, it's palpable.

That exchange by Carlson and Scarborough sounds so gay.

From now on I want to see these guys have both hands in plain view when talking about Obama.

I bet Chrissy can’t top Tucker without mentioning fluids.

What is with the homoerotic imagry?

It bad enough to have this gushy ick on The View, but on a news channel it’s as though our entire media has been propragandized.

God forbid they start calling him “glorious leader” if Obama gets elected.

Sounds to me like SNL was dead-on about the MSM and their man-crush on Baraq Husayn ibn Mahomet!

Joe could barely control himself when describing the '9th grade love afair'. Lol!

I guess this is that feeling Chris Matthews gets in his pants?

Definitely pre-planned, and executed flawlessly by these two guys. And poor innocent Mika.

Being a teacher of middle school boys I know exactly what they were getting at.

You missed the whole point of the exchange.

Carlson was equating the MSM rapture over Obama was like a 9th grade boy in heat. They were far from aggrandizing Obama.

But, what I took away from the exchange was proof again that conservatives are a happier lot. Joe and Tucker actually have a sense of humor; poor Mika.

Bone-headed statement

Considering the way many of the newsie pundits, commentators and news hosts gush over Obama, that statement is close to the truth.

Those who keep those kinds of records show the newsies have been giving Obama most-favorable treatment 70-80% of the time, Clinton 60%, the GOP, well, they are lucky to get 50%.

Watch the Sunday talk shows with Obama -- they are little more than Obaminfomercials. Russert's interview this past week gave Obama every opportunity to try to rehabilitate himself regarding the Wright controversy.

So far, none of the interviewers have questioned Obama on the substance, or lack thereof, in his speeches.

Carlson: Did the paper boy come yet?

Scarborough: No, but his eyes are getting glassy.
