Matthews Wowed by Obama Response to Query about Bill Richardson's Beard

"Wow!" That was Chris Matthews' immediate reaction to Barack Obama's response to a question from a Fox News reporter about why his pick for Commerce Secretary, Bill Richardson, shaved his beard off. After playing a clip from Obama's press conference introducing Richardson on Monday night's "Hardball," Matthews awed at the "intellectual" way Obama analyzed Richardson's personal grooming habits.

What is WRONG with that woman?

[Sarah Barracuda]

Chris Matthews has to be the biggest moron on the planet. Wait, actually I’m wrong, he is a step above Joe Biden

[crazyhorse691]

If Obama were to barf Chrissy would be first there to bag some for his Obama altar.

[dandiegirl]

He’s beginning to look really strange with all of this.

[crazyhorse691]

So funny and so true.

[ladyvet]

Hey Chrissy.....

When is Bill Mahr going to appear with Matthews? Bill can tell us; what it is like to be 'up close and personal' with a Believer and one who actually has communicated in person; with his messiah.

[Eroteme]

He’s just hoping to win another “Barack Obama Gives A Thrill Up My Leg Award” at the MRC Gala.

[stubernx98]

Who is Chris Mathews?

[Bahbah]

He is an idiot, and he is in serious need of psychological help.

This indicates he could well be elected to the US Senate.

[hope]

Seriously, Matthews must have married out of his pay grade!

[river rat]

I'm certain that Miss Chrissy would gladly grow a mustache and goatee in order to provide his adored Messiah a more realistic “encounter”...

[OpusatFR]

He’s doing it because he knows it annoys the right.

I don’t watch him or any of them because they, including O’Reilly and the rest of the televion celebutards, are just the American version of Bread and Circuses.

Watching them is in the realm of timewasting activities worse than chain smoking in the face of a frigid north wind at breaktime, and slightly better than zoning out and picking one’s nose.

*And no it doesn’t apply to you.

[cricket]

So 'why' did Richardson get rid of the beard. . .I mean, if he worked for me; I would have told him to 'lose it' or don't show up; but what was the inspiring response that so overwhelmed Ms. Chris?

(You know, the harder they love; the harder they fall; wonder when Chrissy will show up for work and it will be 'over' tween him and Obama. . .)

[nufsed]

no there there

[Wild Irish Rogue]

The media has become beyond a joke-even FOX.
Asking questions at a president elect’s press conference about dogs, ties, Christmas shopping and now this bit of bizarro gayness.
What’s worse than the question is Obama even answering it and then going into great detail about another man’s facial hair.
The only thing creepier than Obama’s answer would be for him to actually shave Richardson.
Maybe that will happen next press conference.
I just hope he choses his face.

To Chris Matthews, I quote Elvis Presley. “They said you was high class, that was just a lie.”

[j-damn]

If Obama likes beards so much why doesn’t he just tell Michelle to stop shaving hers?

OHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
