The media fawning has just begun:

From the MRC website:

On Friday morning's The Early Show on CBS, viewers were treated
to what almost seemed like a parody of Barack Obama's mainstream media
paparazzi fawning over the Democratic President-elect, as the show ran a
report exploring the question of "How cool is Obama?" and co-hosts Harry
Smith and Tracy Smith referred to Obama as "the man" and "the epitome of
cool," respectively. Audio of the classic rock group the Chiffons singing
"He's So Fine" even played as the piece on Obama's "coolness" began. Tracy
Smith oozed as she plugged the segment: "We're actually talking about how
a lot of people think that President-elect Barack Obama is the epitome of
cool. Look at that guy. Everything, I mean, even in a baseball cap. Don't
you think?" After Harry Smith referred to a New York Times article about
the significance of Obama spending his childhood in Hawaii, Tracy Smith
effused: "That makes him even cooler."

 HARRY SMITH: But be wary of Obama worship.
ROBERT THOMPSON, SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR OF TELEVISION AND POP
CULTURE: The Barack Obama administration right now is like the days before
Christmas. There's all this great stuff under the tree, and it's all
promise. Pure magic might be in there.

HARRY SMITH: Welcome back to The Early Show. I'm Harry Smith, along
with Tracy Smith, and Maggie and Julie are off today.
   TRACY SMITH: We're talking about being cool.
   HARRY SMITH: Mmm-hmm.
   TRACY SMITH: I mean, you're cool, but we're actually talking about how
a lot of people think that President-elect Barack Obama is the epitome of cool.
   HARRY SMITH: Mmm.
   TRACY SMITH: Look at that guy. Everything, I mean, even in a baseball cap.
   HARRY SMITH: Right.
   TRACY SMITH: Don't you think?
   HARRY SMITH: There was a whole thing in the Times yesterday about his
being from Hawaii and a kind of a zen of what it's like to be from Hawaii
and that's, how that might serve him well in the days and months to come.
    TRACY SMITH: That makes him even cooler. There is one fashion faux-
pas that he commits, and we'll talk about that also, coming up.

   TRACY SMITH, BEFORE COMMERCIAL BREAK AT 8:16 a.m. Up next, from his
aviator sunglasses to his wing-tipped shoes, lot's of people think Barack
Obama is cool. A look at the President-elect's style when we come back.

Fawning as an art form.

Yeah! I just said that!

Where the hell you been? Christmas bender?

You should be careful about using the word "stupidity" when the sentence in
which you use it is itself a sign of stupidity. Or, to put it another way,
when you live a glass house, you don't throw stones.

Got any walls left in that glass house of yours?
