Would you call getting a 53 on a test "close to brilliant?"

If you're Chris Matthews, and you're reporting about Barack Obama you would, for on Monday's "Hardball," the MSNBC host bragged about his president being "close to brilliant," "amazing," "incredibly on target," and "unbelievable" with his NCAA college basketball tournament picks.

Yet, when you dig into the numbers, out of all the entrants into ESPN.com's Tournament Challenge 2009, Obama currently ranks 2,167,290, which makes his relative score compared to others 53.20 percent.

I see Tingles is still vying to give Bammy a bj.

Good grief.

The staff needs to be careful they don't slip on Chrissy's drool puddles.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Geeez, Chrissy. Put a blue dress on.

Jeez, can these sheep fawn over this guy any more?

They are just sick in their worship of him.

[softwarecreator]

In liberal’s public schools? Yeah.

[darkangel82]

ESPN went overboard. They need to be reminded that they are not a politics channel.

[softwarecreator]

LOL. Very good!

I keep waiting for a close up of a White House toilet with WannabeMonica Mathews discussing how only the most brilliantest butthole could produce such a devine work of art.

This is getting worse than stupid.

Aren’t the folks at MSNBC even a TAD disturbed at how stupid this looks?

I would rag on Fox News if they had someone like this acting like this about Bush for God sake.

53rd percentile + half black + affirmative action = Go To The Head of The Class!

[MGMSwordsman]

Looks like Chrissy is still gunning to give Zero a shot at hammering his balloon knot.

[Always Right]

I have never seen a NCAA bracket that paid down to the 53rd percentile. In my pool, Obama would be called a loser.

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

Someone needs to dig out a bracket that GWB did that is in the 75 percentile and then watch the drive-by’s try to explain that away!

careful they don't slip on Chrissy's drool puddles.

LOL, nice.

[Always Right]

Geeez, Chrissy. Put a blue dress on.

Yeah, but Chrissy wouldn't leave any stains.

[Long Island Pete]

Why doesnt Chrissy just pop the question already?

During the election, I saw a piece on ESPN about a former football player who was now a HUGE Obama supporter and was campaiging for him. The story was 20% about the former football player and 80% about Obbie.

They chose to alienate me with that piece and they succeeded ... I haven't watched that channel since.

his relative score compared to others 53.20 percent.

There's a big difference between "getting 53 on a test" (getting 53% of the questions right), and "relative score compared to others" being 53%.

Is not this the creature that has orgasm when he sees or hears or thinks of “The Divine One?”

[Psycho_Bunny]

I’m not certain it’s drool.....and I’m not willing to check.
