Chris Matthews: McCain has a ‘Menacing Smile,’ Obama’s ‘Debonair’

Posted on October 8, 2008

In the post debate “analysis” tonight after the second presidential debate, Chris Matthews of MSNBC proved once again that he is in such rapture about Barack Obama that it cannot be believed. Tonight, Matthews cast McCain in the role of Snidely Whiplash or some such thing thing because of his “menacing smile.” Yet, according to the sycophantic Matthews, Obama’s is “debonair.”

Mary Katharine Ham reports what Matthews said tonight:

Barack Obama is gifted in birth by a wonderful smile…

John McCain, when he smiles, has a somewhat menacing quality. It may not be purposeful, but when he smiles, you wonder what he’s really thinking.

Barack Obama, for whatever reason, comes off as debonaire, even under attack.

What does Matthews mean “it may not be purposeful”? Is Matthews leaving open the possibility that McCain is secretly wringing his hands in glee like Doctor Evil over an evil plan about to come together if only we Americans are foolish enough to vote for him?

Seriously, what is with this obsequiousness that Chris Matthews displays for Barack Obama? Worse, how is it that he thinks he should be taken seriously with this sort of groveling, boot-licking?

Far from McCain being Doctor Evil or Snidely Whiplash, I’d suggest that Matthews is turning into Renfield to Obama’s Dracula!

And now, let’s enjoy a nice film to chronicle Matthews’ emotionally overwrought love for Barack Obama.

    Ya know, if law enforcement ever needs Obama’s DNA, they just need to scrape the crust off Matthews’ chin.

    I am beginning to wonder about Matthews. I really dont care for him as he is loud, but what is his real gender? Something seems strange – or did he have the Dem chip installed during his sleep that goes off when Obama stutters. I know debonair, and Obama is not debonair – and the President does not need to be deboniar or full of hot air. He needs to be pragmatic with values and not a tool beholden to leftist billionaires.

    These comments are for the most part – not entirely, but for the most part – simple statements of fact: Barack Obama *is* debonaire; John McCain *does* have a weird smile. (What’s more, he has a chortling kind of laugh to go with it.)

    JM,

    No, they are not “statements of fact.” You really need to look up the definition of the word fact. What YOU just relayed are your FEELINGS of McCain’s and Obama’s smile. There was no “fact” in it. Just emotion and assumption.

    I could just as easily say that Obama’s smile is that of a snake about to bite, or the smile of the cat that ate the canary! He is a snake oil salesman and his easy smile hides his lies.

    But, could I say that is all “fact” as you did above? Hardly. It is what I “feel” about him. It is not “fact.”

    Do get some education on definitions of common words, won’t you?
