(1) Strong interest in a politician, political idea or political cause which can appear to be philosophical or
merit based, but upon deeper investigation is characterized by a
sexual, near-sexual or emotional attraction, or other
nonsensical, unbalanced, primal or emotion-based affinity or need for that political person or thing.
In the political
news media, or among other politicians, this results in the lowest, most biased form of news reporting and political deal-making known to man, outside of
fascist or other
propaganda or
abuse of power.
(2) Term related to the
depraved mental condition that makes one capable of relating political ideas and sexual attraction. It is a fanatical, often simplistic, illogical devotion to a politician or a political party of idea.

Politisexual reporting (adj)
Example: Chris Matthews, especially when regarding his Obama coverage.
Politisexual attraction (noun)
Occurs to anyone mentally
weak enough to emotionally and/or unconsciously have an emotional or erogenous affinity for politicians or political things. Dependence or allegiance to a political person or thing in a sexual-like manner.
Example: Keith Olberrman, Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews, Ralph Reid, Rush Limbaugh, and Rusty Humphries all suffer from a politisexual attraction similar to single-minded, vacuous nymphomaniacs. Some worse than others.
The interest of Chris Matthews, of MSNBC, in Barack Obama not only abandoned an objective reporting premise, but it escaped mere improper political affinity by this news reporter and entered the realm of a sick, difficult-to-watch, politisexual interest.
