watching Chris Matthews is like going to a football game, where your head cheerleader...

[islandmkl]

dates the other team's quarterback...she doesn't play in the game, she can't score a point, she merely leads the cheers for your team's support...but she wants the other guy to win...

because, after all...he turns her on...

2. Palin is eye-candy for the over-40 males set.

although she does attract an odd group of women who think they would like to BE her...

[Bozita]

3. Does she have a super deluxe flight suit costume with codpiece too?

4. I don't think many people watch Matthews anymore. He is shown himself to be a slob.

It is hard to watch him for more than 30 seconds, he is a loudmouthed slobbering fool.

5. What an apt description of Tweety...

I also actually felt he was more than a little bit infatuated with W when he was prez. So, perhaps it's simply power that gets him all lathered up rather than beauty....

6. He's a former (or current) drunk

who is intellectually incapable of commenting on modern politics. He has no idea that people have moved on from the cultural disputes of the late 1960s. He's quite possibly the stupidest and most craven talking head of them all. Watching him interview a politician is like watching a little kid see Santa for the first time.
