Chris Matthews has done everything but carve “C.M. loves B.H.O.” on a tree. Yet the object of his affections repeatedly mentions Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, but ignores the MSBNC host.
‘You can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh,” Obama said, “and get things done.”
“With respect to Sean Hannity,” Obama later said, “I didn’t know that he had invited me for a beer. But you know, I will take that under advisement. Generally, his opinion of me does not seem to be very high, but I’m always good for a beer.”
“This bothers me,” Matthews fumed. “What’s the president giving so many shout-outs to conservative radio talk-show hosts? All he talks about is Limbaugh and Sean Hannity…I’m envious. Is this the only way you get this guy’s attention, is to whack him?”
As last week’s Monday night’s press conference demonstrated, Obama likes to talk. A lot. We suspect he knows he’d never get a word in edgewise with the loquacious Matthews.
