Last time Chris Matthews had a “thrill up his leg” it was while listening Barack Obama. Well, it looks like the thrill is back! The Sotomayor hearings have apparently reactivated what was thought to be a dormant leg.

Chris Matthews on the Sotomayor hearings:

"I’m getting one of those thrills I get about America," Chris Matthews said. "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t say this and I’m getting it again," he said. Matthews concluded he got the "thrill" after Sotomayor "talked about sitting at that table and not being a genius like Barack Obama."

Just referring to Barry as a genius is now enough to cause Matthews to have an on-air orgasm. Wow.
