creepy

A fellow has posted a list of the top ten things that creep him out about Barack Obama.

number 8 on the list is the one that has just been amazing to me watching this campaign, it seriously creeps me out:

8. It creeps me out that the press seems hypnotized by this guy. Grown men and women blubbering like babes when talking about how exciting he is, how mesmerizing he is when he speaks. It’s as if “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” has come to life and the pods have been placed in every newsroom in America. It isn’t just Crissy Mathews and MSNBC. It’s news anchors at CNN, reporters for Time and Newsweek, editorial writers at WaPo and the New York Times. Big media is in the tank for this guy in a big way. They have thrown off all semblance of fairness (never mind objectivity) and just don’t care that people know they are in Obama’s corner. They can’t be shamed into changing. They evidently won’t be deflected from doing their best to elect Obama.

This kind of thing causes the hairs on the back of my neck to prick up – like walking through a graveyard at midnight. It is just plain creepy – no other word for it.

For instance there was the guy who wrote this editorial in the San Francisco Chronicle. Was he joking? Is he embarrassed for himself at all?

Poor Hillary recognized this and fought as hard as she could to bust his hammerlock on the media’s affections, but without success.
