Chris Matthews is having trouble separating fiction and reality.
Not that this is anything new. He’s always seemed to be lost in some sort of liberal lalaland, but it all came together on Tuesday night’s Hardball. That’s when he actually compared the President of the United States to Batman.
Matthews: Let me finish tonight with the Joker. Remember him? He was played by Jack Nicholson in that great “Batman” movie by Tim Burton. He was the key to the movie. Why? Because his dark world of malevolence and revenge set in contrast the goodwill, generosity and glamour of our hero. He was to the movie on the bad side what Batman was on the good. Batman stands on tall buildings looking for evil to be perpetrated, people to be saved. The Joker looks for ways to manipulate public opinion, interrupt the TV news, and bring his evil intentions and motives and instincts into reality. Maybe the President today is our Batman, trying to do good, a bit mysterious, a bit cool and technocratic, a bit removed from the world of emotions, but right, right there on the side of good, always using his brains and wit to look out for the people in trouble. Well, maybe he’s not that good.
You might view Matthews’ comments in a different light when you read what Wikipedia says about Batman:
Homosexual and pederastic interpretations have been part of the academic study of the Batman franchise since psychiatrist Fredric Wertham asserted in his 1954 book Seduction of the Innocent that “Batman stories are psychologically homosexual”. He claimed, “The Batman type of story may stimulate children to homosexual fantasies, of the nature of which they may be unconscious” and “Only someone ignorant of the fundamentals of psychiatry and of the psychopathology of sex can fail to realize a subtle atmosphere of homoeroticism which pervades the adventures of the mature ‘Batman’ and his young friend Robin.
Our best guess? Matthews fantasizes about Obama dressed in tights and a mask, six-pack abs rippling, a long dark cape rippling in the breeze. And he pictures himself as Robin, Batman’s young protégé, dressed in a colorful costume and performing whatever deeds his master wants done. If you know what we mean.
Suddenly, we understand why Matthews get a tingle up the leg every time he hears Obama speak.

Matthews head looks like humpty/dumpty.
And that's perfectly OK, isn't it?
OK. Its like this. If Matthews wont take it up the butt by B.O. I bet he would hold his sausage in his mouth till the swelling went down. Any grown man that feels a tingle from another mans intentions is gay in my book.
And isn't that what 'normal' neurotypicals think of anyway! In my mind, Robyn is a young adult (over consenting age...in many countries) who receives apprenticeship from a loving father figure, as in Ancient Greece, and there is nothing unhealthy about that.
Where's my Batman?
O-K....
I think Crissy Mathews is Harlequinn to Obama's Joker.
Yep, I think that the best way to describe LeftBall is "tres stalkeriffic"
I know most of you think that if Obama was Batman then Chrissy's wish would be that he was Robin,but I know what his dream would be,that he could be the bat-pole
I thought he wanted to be the bat-cave.
He may want it both ways.
Obamie better be careful because Chrissie maybe a bit too obsessive and he may get violent if he doesn't get what he obviously wants.
Matthews appears on MSNBC; not being able to separate fiction from reality is a prerequisite for employment there.
Well at least we know that Chrissie wants to Buck O'Fama...
Heh. His show ain't named "Hardball" for nothin'....
Should be Blue ball.
and he wants people to "let him finish" ewww...
"The Joker looks for ways to manipulate public opinion, interrupt the TV news, and bring his evil intentions and motives and instincts into reality."
If that isn't a 100% accurate description of the President, I don't know what is.
I thought Chris was talking about himself....
Matthews, as usual, has it backwards. Obama is America's Joker, manipulating public opinon, interrupting TV news with self-glamorizing announcements, sowing fear and lies while wrecking the economy. His aim is chaos, he wants to bankrupt our nation so it can be rebuilt as a socialist Utopia.
Chris is a middle aged political groupie and Obama is his Justin Bieber. It's embarassing to hear his out of control girly language whenever he discusses The One. The tingle up Matthew's leg has fried his brain.
BTW, Dr. Wertham was a loon.
