[malaise]

Just started

[monmouth4]

1. I immediately changed to CNN. n/t

[malaise]

4. I like Tweety a lot of the time

I'm watching him. .

[HipChick]

7. He's not bad...he is a DC staple

whether you like him or not...

[malaise]

8. He knows the politics and the history

but he does get it wrong and annoy folks as well.

[HipChick]

10. He's human and aging...

and often corrects himself right away..

[malaise]

11. +1,000

I like Tweety

[Laura PourMeADrink]

14. Smart !

[oberliner]

2. At least it's not Kornacki

[malaise]

6. That would be unbearable

I'm not a fan - he disturbs my inner peace

[Laura PourMeADrink]

15. Smart! He's the jittery John King

[malaise]

30. Way too hyper for me

Unsettling.

[badhair77]

28. I love that line.

My “inner peace” has been under attack since 2016.

[malaise]

29. LOL

[MiniMe]

3. Along with Andrea Mitchell

Maybe CSPAN?

[malaise]

5. That's an option

Uninterrupted

[a kennedy]

19. Yes, yes, C-SPAN.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. Michael Steele is also providing commentary.

I like the new Michael Steele.

[HipChick]

12. There are more folks in the streets of DC to say goodbye to McCain, then there were at Orange

apparitions Inauguration...

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. A normal person would look at this and think "wow

thousands, if not millions of people admired him, why don't they admire me?, I need to change.". Not -45

[alphafemale]

13. Will they be able to resist the love of their own voices at the Memorial at least?

Could you just SHUT UP!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. Do you know who is paying for this funeral? I was

Just curious...like are there rules that say if you are of a certain stature, you can have a motorcade and huge memorial type events? And the government picks up the tab for cops and traffic control and security etc. I ask because I can't believe -45 didn't get involved and order it curtailed in some way.

[a kennedy]

18. C-SPAN is your friend.........

the musical interlude is beautiful, AND no talking.

[JaneQPublic]

20. Tweety's not too bad when not in Hardball mode.

Unless of course he's co-anchoring with KO... although their slap fights were entertaining.

Tweety would be best used as a political analyst rather than host. The root of his problem is he wants to answer the questions, not ask them.

[malaise]

21. Just heard one reporter say

'...every person who is important is here...'

Bwaaaaaaaaaah- the Con must be pissed.

[JaneQPublic]

24. Top BP number easily over 300. (nt)

[lillypaddle]

22. He's doing a good job

He knows more history and DC history than most - good choice.

[Towlie]

23. "Tell me something I don't know." "On the Internet they call you 'Tweety'."

Maybe someday...

He's definitely irritating, yet Rachel Maddow calls him "amazing":

Who do you see as a great interviewer?

You know who I think is amazing? Chris Matthews. And I know that sounds weird, because he’s famous for interrupting people. But he interrupts people because he’s listening so hard to them. He knows where people are going and he jumps in to get more out of them. The times I’ve seen Chris interview Trump were the most illuminating interviews with him I’ve ever seen, because he was able to draw more stuff out of Trump than anyone else.

Her fallacy is that it might be true that "he knows where people are going and he jumps in" but that doesn't mean we know where they're going.

[HipChick]

25. Can they let Reid have her show..boot Tweety off now...

[Stinky The Clown]

26. Matthews - Fred Willard's character from Best in Show

[cilla4progress]

27. Steve Schmidt is there.

I expect he must have been at the service itself?

Schmidt is an important and valuable voice.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

31. Love him too. Read he and Nicole and Palin were

Not invited. Ivanka and Jared weren't either. So could anyone go to cathedral?
