Goldberg Book Examines Media's 'Romance' with Obama
TRIBUNE-REVIEW ^ | 1/25/09 | Bill Steigerwald

Posted on 01/25/2009 4:34:17 PM PST by Dr. Scarpetta

Bernard Goldberg is back with "A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (And Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media."

The Regnery Publishing book, which goes on sale Monday, indicts mainstream print and electronic journalists not for having liberal biases, which are a given, but for becoming open and unapologetic activists for Obama.

Goldberg says that "Chris Matthews is the most egregious example of media slobbering. ... Chris Matthews is an embarrassment of the first order."

Goldberg also says: "But I'll tell you something else -- and this is the single most embarrassing sentence I have ever seen in the Washington Post.

This is a story on Christmas morning, Page 1, Washington Post, about Barack Obama's exercise regimen. I'm going to read you the line and I don't blame you if you think I am making it up.

I swear to God I'm not: 'The sun glinted off chiseled pectorals sculpted during four weight-lifting sessions each week and a body toned by regular treadmill runs and basketball games.'

Let me tell you something. If there has been a more embarrassing sentence ever published in the Washington Post, please, somebody tell me what it is.

You'd read something like this in a romance novel with Fabio on the cover. This is the kind of slobbering I'm talking about.

This is not the same old, same old. They jumped the shark this time. They really took sides and they didn't care who knew it. That's different from anything that happened in the past."

“Obama stimulous plan gives tingles up & down the leg”

It’s not Obama’s stimulous plan that giving tingles. Its psyatica.

These are quotes from Goldberg:

Chris Matthews saying he had “a thrill running up his leg” when he heard Barack Obama speak.

And Matthews said “You’re not an American if you don’t cry when you hear Obama speak.”

This isn’t political commentary. This is a man crush. This is embarrassing. He is by far the most embarrassing commentator on television.

I want to make it clear — commentators are allowed to comment.

I get that. But the commentary has to have a semblance of intelligence to it, and Chris Matthews has become the single biggest embarrassment in all of the media in terms of this campaign coverage.

I think he started wearing his wife’s underwear some time back myself.

That's makes bile rise in my throat.

I just read ‘Bias’, and it was great. Boy, the media mafia really put Bernie through the wringer after he called them out.

MSNBC quit being journalism along time ago. It is of a similar genre as WWE, The Real Housewives of Orange County, and Celebrity Rehab. They should have a disclaimer, “Any semblance to reality is accidental.”

Is that why they had to throw millions of dollars for contraception into the plan?

Well, it has been rumored that Chris Mathews let out with a squeal, “Barack, I wanna have your baby!”

The fact that MSNBC employs Olbermann tells you how low they are.
