Chris Matthews, on Wednesday's "Hardball," admitted Barack Obama, along with his wife Michelle this time, gave him yet another "thrill." The MSNBC host gleefully described his feelings at seeing the Obamas arrive in England for the G20 summit this way [audio available here]:

Well there is something cool when they were both - there's a nice ‘60s term. When they were both walking to the helicopter the other day, Marine One, there was something like, when he looked at her, you could just tell he said, "Isn't this something?" You know you could tell like they were experiencing the-, the, I'm getting old here. The grooviness, the excitement of being this First American Couple heading towards Marine One, which is cool in itself, heading from there to Air Force One, to a quick flight across the Atlantic, on your own plane. And to meet with the world leaders as like the centerpiece of the world. What? I get-, I'm saying it again, I'm getting a thrill.

How do you know? I didn’t think anyone watched his “show” anymore.

[bigbob]

Chris Matthews is the public face of the “girlyman”

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Chris is one of the many reasons why I don’t waste my money on cable TV.

[jveritas]

One day Matthews will end up in a mental hospital.

Where’s the barf alert?

[RDTF]

is it really necessary?

[dancusa]

Matthews is on a one way ticket to Bellevue in a white van.

Get a room.

Maybe this will give Chrissy a thrill too...I know it just made me soooo thrilled that the Obama’s are representing our country! /s

Obama’s iPod gift includes 40 Broadway show tunes...

Matthews must be popping a large amount of those “blue pills”. He has a series case of multiple obamasms.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

I prefer the look of a President that says, “I really don't want to do this, but it's my duty.”

Obammie the Commie is livin’ the dream — the pop-star dream, that is.

I now officially loathe pop culture and its pernicious influence on serious thought and debate in this country.

[shadeaud]

I want to know who has to clean Matthew’s chair after one of his...moments

[Mengerian]

There is no doubt in my mind that Chris Matthews has an endless homo-erotic fixation for Obama.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

My God, that is the most pathetic, sniveling sophomoric piece of trash I’ve read in many years. Normal adults expect statesmanship, mature behavior and decorum, not “cool.” This is the PERFECT example of the loss of a free and independent press that is killing the United States of America. Matthews should be on the median at a stop light, tin cup in hand, begging for coin from drivers.

Sadly, the tingle that ran up little Chrissie’s leg during the Obama campaign went all the way up to his head, blowing his tiny brain out his left ear. Given the many times Chrissie has gladly taken it in the ear by his pals on the left, the size of that orifice made it inevitable. He DID have a transplant. Unfortunately, it was the cryogenically preserved brain of Lyndon Baines Johnson and turned out to be even smaller than the original organ, probably because – as with nearly ALL Democrats -- it had never been used.
