I'll NEVER forgive Tweety for being behind Donahue's firing

[CatWoman]

fuck you Tweety

Oh yeah, also for publicly slobbering over Shrub Bush's "package" when he strutted across the USS Abraham Lincoln, which looked stuffed with something and completely ridiculous.

1. ✅

Regularly hosting Swift Boaters too. Everyday the last 60 days in 2004.

3. yup

fuck him

[hlthe2b]

2. Yup... That was one reason I have trouble extending a lot of sympathy now (or perhaps any)

That said, the abrupt way in which he left is unnerving. I think the network should have let him finish the show.

4. It's too bad about those things, too (and I agree with you)

because at times he could seem witty, charming, and incisive, and you'd remember how he landed in this job, and then WHAM! - he'd undo all that good will with some bizarre rant or petty comment. I remember his going after Al Gore with apparent glee, just like all the rest of them at the time, piling on about his personality and refusing to admit that Bush was a flyweight in a heavyweight fight.

5. One last posting of this Matthews gem

Bush lover:

"We're proud of our president. Americans love having a guy as president, a guy who has a little swagger, who's physical, who's not a complicated guy like Clinton or even like Dukakis or Mondale, all those guys, McGovern. They want a guy who's president. Women like a guy who's president. Check it out. The women like this war. I think we like having a hero as our president. It's simple. We're not like the Brits."
(MSNBC's Chris Matthews, 5/1/03)

Good riddance.

6. that needs to be carved on his professional tombstone

7. Unforgivable slobbering over an "uncomplicated" president.

Matthews had clearly been slowing down and showing physical and mental problems on air, for the last couple of years. I'm sure he's not even down to his last $20 million, and his books and speaker's fees and his high-powered exec wife's income will keep him from starving. I hope MSNBC gives his time slot to someone talented and worthy.

8. someone posted a news article

it's on this page somewhere.

anyway, the article says there will be rotating hosts.

9. Sounds like a temporary arrangement.

I think Nicolle Wallace would be a terrific replacement for Matthews.

[CatWoman]

11. whoever get the slot

I hope they chuck Todd next (see what I did there)

[Paladin]

17. Couldn't agree with you more. (nt)

[moondust]

12. I suspect he voted for...

Trump and Romney, possibly Bush and McCain as well. White privilege bros.

[Raine]

15. He was Raygun lover too

constantly drooling over that POS!

[budkin]

10. THIS X10000000000

I've NEVER liked the guy. Not to mention his repeated proclamations about GWBs manliness.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

13. I loved the few shows Donahue had

I was mad that he left. If it was Tweety that made him leave
Fuck you, and your selfish ego!

[CatWoman]

14. Phil was one of the few on air talent

who refused to participate in the build up of the Iraq War.

And for that I will always be grateful.
