MSM's Obama-love: 'Like a 9th-Grade Boy Embarrassed to Stand Up'
By Mark Finkelstein | May 8, 2008 - 07:59 ET
"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.
SCARBOROUGH: No, it really is.
BRZEZINSKI: What are you guys talking about?
Oh, I think Mika knows.
