CHIRS MATTHEWS HAD A HARRY REID MOMENT!

OK, we all know that Chris Matthews has a super crush on President Obama. The emperor is fiddling while Rome burns and Chris just continues with his mindless, orgasmic, commentary of praise. If it's not running down his leg, it's running out his mouth!  It is truly comical and at the same time pathetic. Taking a cue from Senator Reid, Chris commented after the State Of The Union Address that he forgot Obama was black...for an hour. I guess when the speech was over and the drugs wore off, he snapped back into reality and remembered that Obama was of African American decent.

In case you missed it, here's Chris in his own words:

"I was trying to think about who he was tonight. It's interesting: he is post-racial, by all appearances. I forgot he was black tonight for an hour. You know, he's gone a long way to become a leader of this country, and past so much history, in just a year or two. I mean, it's something we don't even think about. I was watching, I said, wait a minute, he's an African American guy in front of a bunch of other white people. And here he is president of the United States and we've completely forgotten that tonight -- completely forgotten it. I think it was in the scope of his discussion. It was so broad-ranging, so in tune with so many problems, of aspects, and aspects of American life that you don't think in terms of the old tribalism, the old ethnicity. It was astounding in that regard. A very subtle fact. It's so hard to talk about. Maybe I shouldn't talk about it, but I am. I thought it was profound that way."
