Yesterday was a historic day. Sure we had presidential inauguration but it was also perhaps the first and only day when loudmouth MSNBC host Chris Matthews actually shut his mouth for a few seconds.
The cat that got Matthews’s tongue was being reminded by fellow MSNBC host Martin Bashir of his inane 2008 remark that he gets a “thrill going up my leg” when hearing Barack Obama speak. Watch below for the video.
The joke at the former Democratic operative’s expense happened during a post-inaugural panel on MSNBC which was predictably stacked with all liberal participants. Matthews was joined by Bashir, as well as Elijah Cummings, a Democrat representing a congressional district in Maryland.
During his part of the conversation, Cummings referenced a line in Obama’s speech describing how a little girl who grew up poor can now hope to be something in America and said that it gave him “chills” to hear it. Both he and Bashir then burst into laughter after they realized the inadvertent reference to one of the most common political punchlines of the Obama presidency.
“There you go, Chris. Did you get any chills, Chris?” a laughing Bashir inquired. He received no response from Matthews. No one spoke for several seconds. The only sound that could be heard was some awkward coughing. Unfortunately we have no video of what the expression on Matthews’s face was. The photo above, from an earlier time, is perhaps a close approximation.
“Sorry, Chris,” Bashir blurted out a moment later. Classic television moment. Here is the video, courtesy of our friends at Townhall.

Sissy Matthews got a pee shiver.
Welcome to the People’s Republic.
IMHO
We were once a people of the people, by the people, for the people.
Yesterdays speech would have not taken so long if it were just boiled down to: of the government by the government for the government.
There had been democracies for centuries before the USA was formed. The significant difference with the formation of the USA was that power did not go from God to government to the people but from God to the people then to the government.
Apparently, the people have cried out to government to replace that chain.
And the people cried out for a king, and it was granted........it did not turn out well for anyone.
He, like so many others follow Obama with their tounges hanging out, They ceased to be Journalists long ago.

Asking Chrissy about his tingles is a big no-no. The last person who brought it up set off a long rant that involved the disgusting sexual pejorative “teabagger.”
I get “chills” knowing that an America-hating radical just got re-elected to the highest office of the land.
I got chills just thinking about what was happening to our country during the Inauguration - eerily similar to the sensation of visiting Auschwitz or Dachau. Maybe something deep inside Chrissy Matthews is trying to warn him.
FORMER!?
That’s what you get when you circumvent the Constitution the first time around and still refuse to make corrections the second time.
Bad news for the America-bashing Basheer. Self-important drunks like Crissie have no sense of humor.
Please, please! Let me wake up tomorrow morning... 
and find The Obamanation was all just one big on-line Presidential hoax nightmare?
Right on, Bender. Those on-line affairs suck big time. From now on my girlfriend is going to be real... 
so I can hold her and tell her what I feel!
And as they say here in Spain, Manti: "And you don't have that long drive home... 
after you open the valve."
If I had just went for a girlfriend like that instead of Monica... 
I'd still be the First Black President!
AWESOME stuff!
