Quote of the day: "He just lost his virginity"

January 7, 2009
MSNBC

barama matthews, Michelle Bernard and Buchanan are sitting around like gladiators waiting to see the show. Chuckie T is all aglow because barry called on him and called on him by name. C'mon - he knows everyone at MSNBC. He has also (for the first time I have heard) - mentioned barry's obamanating. He called it wiggle room. Before is was "redefining his position". But now Chuckie's upset because it's happening to him. Why do these people think barry thinks anyone is special other than himself?

CHUCKIE T: He is very adept at this - at leaving himself plenty of outs. He doesn't seem very often shut doors. It's tough, of course, when you only get four questions to try to and shut off a door as a question.

barama then asked him about Gaza and whether chuckie got something out of barry in terms of his questioning.

CHUCKIE T: Not enough. I'll be honest...he used one president at a time, but it's still in contradiction to what he's doing with the economy. And he tried to explain the difference between the economy and Gaza....But then is his silence delaying the cease fire because the parties at the table are saying, well it sounds like obama has his own opinions, let's wait till he's in office...

In this case, I think barry's silence was prescripted. I believe the US is using this transition to their advantage to not have a set plan forcing the arab world and Europe to handle something alone for a change. Anyway barama has to open his big mouth though I wasn't expecting this.

BARAMA: Chief White House correspondent for NBC News, Chuck Todd, who just lost his virginity, I think it's fair to say out there. I love the fact you're out there one on one with the president.

CHUCKIE T: You know, Chris, you just did a You Tube moment [or a quote of the day] You're killing me. You're killing me with that You Tube moment. I think Jon Stewart just got his clip for the night.

I'll have to go look to see if Chuckie was right...
