Chris Matthews Scorned

Used. Betrayed. Soiled. Gone are the days of the tingle, hello bitterness

From the yawning, gapped mug with wispy and unkempt hair typically found on an early morning slattern, which is a fitting comparison, comes the following line from a long soiled but disheartened receiver of O, who now seems to feel shame and no longer respected.  The ever demur and reticent Chris Matthews on MSNBC last night courtesy of Politico:

President Obama “obviously likes giving speeches more than he does running the executive branch,” Chris Matthews said tonight.  …

“What part of the presidency does Obama like? He doesn’t like dealing with other politicians — that means his own cabinet, that means members of the congress, either party. He doesn’t particularly like the press…. He likes to write the speeches, likes to rewrite what Favreau and the others wrote for the first draft,” Matthews said.

Obama Golfs With Guy Who Solicits Whores

Obama is(sic) played with two White House staffers — Marvin Nicholson and Pete Selfridge — and with high school classmate Bobby Titcomb, according to a pool report. In April, Titcomb was one of four men arrested as part of an undercover prostitution sting. He was later released on $500 bail. In May, Titcomb didn’t appear in court as his lawyer offered a no contest plea

Whatever your own thoughts, prostitution is still illegal in most places and rumor has it the girls are not treated particularly well.  So there is something to be said for the timing and optics given the "influential men treating women as sex objects" smear Politco has been waging on Mr. Herman Cain.  While Cain is defending himself from Obama’s pit bull David Axelrod, most of the Staff at Politco, and a dyspeptic conga-line of publicity-seeking-future-reality-star/potential-tell-all-book-deal-signing gold-diggers, Mr. Obama is casually hitting a little white ball around exclusive Hawaiian country clubs, in golf slacks and a pricey polo, with a guy who solicits sex from whores.

Hey.  Hookers are a shovel ready job, right?!
