What could Chris Matthews, host of MSNBC’s “Hardball” have been thinking when he confessed that watching President Obama speak sent a “thrill up his leg”? How about when he suggested that Obama’s speech on Afghanistan, delivered at military academy West Point, was presented in “enemy territory”?

These are just two of Matthews’ most egregious misstatements. So NewsReal has assigned Rhonda Robinson to keep an eye on Matthews. She’s decided to title her series “Leg Thrills and Spine Chills with Chris Matthews.” Here are all the installments thus far and more will follow:

Part 1: Blushing Like a Schoolboy

Part 2: Matthews Worries About KSM Getting an ACLU Lawyer

Part 3: Apology to the “Enemy Camp” at West Point
