Chris Matthews - Girly Man

Girly men tend to have crushes on other men.  Maybe they're gay, maybe they're not, but they sure know how to blur the line.  Take MSNBC's Chris Matthews.  He's so enamored and so titillated by Obama, that well, let's let him say it in his own words:

"I have to tell you, you know, it’s part of reporting this case, this election, the feeling most people get when they hear Barack Obama’s speech. My, I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don’t have that too often. No, seriously. It’s a dramatic event. He speaks about America in a way that has nothing to do with politics. It has to do with the feeling we have about our country. And that is an objective assessment."

O.K., but maybe the guy owns a gun or some power tools?  (not that owning a gun makes him more of a man - but it sure couldn't hurt).

MATTHEWS: You know what I think? In big cities they ought to check people on sidewalks like getting on airplanes.  I want to see people disarmed. I want people disarmed in our major cities. How's that for a plan?

Here's some more of Matthews demonstrating his feminine side:

Does [Fred Thompson] have sex appeal? I'm looking at this guy and I'm trying to find out the new order of things, and what works for women and what doesn't. Does this guy have some sort of thing going for him that I should notice? . . .
Gene, do you think there's a sex appeal for this guy, this sort of mature, older man, you know? He looks sort of seasoned and in charge of himself. What is this appeal? Because I keep star quality. You were throwing the word out, shining star, Ana Marie, before I checked you on it. . . . Can you smell the English leather on this guy, the Aqua Velva, the sort of mature man's shaving cream, or whatever, you know, after he shaved? Do you smell that sort of -- a little bit of cigar smoke? You know, whatever.

Or how about Chris Matthews on Ellen.

You know you're a girlie man when you grope a lesbian.

Bottom line:  a girlie man for sure, and proud of it.  Look for him at the next Cher concert.
