We all remember Chris Matthews getting that thrill up his leg for President Obama, right? Now Matthews’ NBC colleague, Brian Williams, is apparently ready to join that thrill seeker’s club by declaring that Michelle Obama is the most “fascinating” first lady since Jackie Kennedy.

Talking to NBC correspondent Michael Beschloss during their inauguration coverage on January 21, Brian Williams went into Chris Matthews mode saying, “We can say without hesitation there has not been this much fascination with a First Lady easily since Jackie Kennedy.”

Williams then made the odd claim that there was “about as much talk about her new haircut on her 49th birthday this past week as much as any other aspect of this inauguration.”
