Some people determine their choice for President based on issues, others look for leadership and demeanor. Parts of the cable news media however wants to use the smell test. Chris Matthews and now CNN's Alina Cho are passing on the issues and going straight to their sense of smell. Last week Matthews gawked over Fred Thompson's scent. Now Cho thinks Mitt Romney has the Presidential wiff.
From The Plank:
Chris Matthews caused some eyes to roll (and some predictable heads to explode) last week when, musing on the "sex appeal" of Fred Thompson, he asked:
Can you smell the English leather on this guy, the Aqua Velva, the sort of mature man's shaving cream, or whatever, you know, after he shaved? Do you smell that sort of -- a little bit of cigar smoke?And now, courtesy of today's "Hotline," comes this comment by CNN anchor Alina Cho after the network aired an interview with Mitt Romney this morning:
He looks great, sounds great, smells great.
This is the great liberal media that conservatives like to complain about? Someone better send some decongestant to Newsbusters and Bernie Goldberg ASAP.
