Everything you need to know about Captain Kickass’ speech on the oil spill this evening can be gleaned from these quotes of the MSNBC Leg Thrill Brigade. Dude, Matthews comparing Sir Golfsalot to Jimmy Carter? Armageddon.

Matthews compared Obama to Carter.

Olbermann: “Nothing specific at all was said.”

Matthews: “No direction.”

Howard Fineman: “He wasn’t specific enough.”

Olbermann “I don’t think he aimed low, I don’t think he aimed at all. It’s startling.”

Howard Fineman: Obama should be acting like a “commander-in-chief.”

Matthews: Ludicrous that he keeps saying [Secretary of Energy] Chu has a Nobel prize. “I’ll barf if he does it one more time.”

Matthews: “A lot of meritocracy, a lot of blue ribbon talk.”

Matthews: “I don’t sense executive command.”

I’m actually enjoying the left’s sudden realization that a leftist community organizer from Chicago, who rose to his current position thanks to his radical political connections and by appealing to white guilt, might not be prepared to effectively launch a federal response to a disaster in the Gulf.

You mean he’s not a competent chief executive? I’m getting heart palpitations over here. Seriously, I haven’t been this shocked since I woke up this morning to discover the sun had risen in east.

Exit question: Is the leg tingle finally gone?
