We know Chris Matthews of the tinging leg. He interviewed Evan Thomas of Newsweek, a left-wing periodical, and in the interview Thomas said

"I mean in a way Obama's standing above the country, above - above the world, he's sort of God.

Now Matthews didn't say it but neither did he projectile hurl, or even laugh. Not mocking something that ripe is a character flaw in and of itself.

But Matthews is coming back to reality, just as he did in his contempt of Bill Clinton's mythomania. Tuesday night Matthews talked with Rachel Maddow of MSNBC as the dreadful, to Madcow, news that the Kennedy flunky had lost became undeniable. Matthews performed decent analysis. Madcow was, well Madcow.

This is worth the 3 minutes or so to watch how yet another icon of leftist journalism runs, screaming into the night, away from reality.
