About “The Leg”

Chris Matthews’ Leg came to the nation’s attention when he let it slip on live television that the oratory of candidate Barack Obama had mysterious and not-unpleasant effects on one of the Hardball host’s extremities:

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.

Some have wondered which of Matthews’ lower limbs is the one getting all the attention and whether the other one resents the new-found celebrity status of it’s “running mate.”

The fact is, it Chris Matthews’ left leg that “hearts” Obama. His right leg has a libertarian streak and often feels “restless” when Ron Paul says the words “gold standard.”

This site is honored to have been designated the official oracle and chronicle of the thoughts, actions and, most importantly “sensations” of Chris Matthews’ Leg.

    If it is indeed Matthews’ left leg that tingles, then the graphic here needs to be changed. :)

    Was it me or was The Leg a tad restless on the Morning Joe Show this morning? As guest co-host, the Leg instructed Mika Brezinski as to what real question would be for Bill Richardson, accused her of shoddy journalism, and then became grumpy when asked if his soliloquy on Obama’s behalf was an endorsement. The Leg - like Obama - is somewhat of an unknown but I think we are beginning to see get the idea that the Leg does not tingle over MILFs (mmmm….Mika). Somebody had a case of the Mondays.

    Is it my imagination or is there just a tad bit of spittle that lingers on Chris lips just before “The Leg” begins to tingle.

    One guesses he meant a tingle up his schpine butt then had a Freudian slip. And thus I am left wondering….Does Chris Matthews want to get it on with Obama. And if he does what would it be called? Ooooooooo - Bama. Your ethnicity excites my legs electricity?

    STUPID IS, AS STUPID DOES. IT’S EMBARRASSING TO THINK SOMEONE AS IGNORANT AS CHRIS MATTHEWS IS ACTUALLY TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

    The Leg has a mind of its own. And like most Sentient Beings, the thinking is often processed at the TOP of the being. THEREFORE: realizing that the “top” of Chris’ leg is the buttocks, we gain great insight into where Chris’ leg derives its opinions. Thank you for giving this ass a voice.

    the fact that the “thrill went up” Matthews leg is only half the story. My questions is: Where did it come out?
