What happened with Tweety and Scarborough?

[OneGrassRoot]

I hear jumped the shark several times throughout the night, but I only caught a few seconds when Scarborough was obviously responding to something Tweety said and had daggers coming out of his eyes.

What did Tweety do to piss off Scarborough?

[Horse with no Name]

1. Insinuated that Joe was partisan

:rofl:
Was too funny really.
Two partisan hacks trying to out-liberal each other.
:rofl:
It was must-see TV. Hoping Crooks and Liars or someone has it on today.

[emulatorloo]

4. Tweety called out Joe for saying centrist Hillary was "Far Left"

Joe said, well yeah, um I did say that but I really meant Barbara Boxer.

[rpannier]

2. chrissy said Joe had not been objective in his reporting

Joe correctly pointed out that he had criticized the republikkan party more than the Dems.
That he (Joe) had said the republikkans did not deserve to be re-elected to the House or Senate because they had done a poor job of governing.

[skooooo]

3. Saw a little on Imus..

I think that Tweety accused Joe of being a party hack, and Joe started a tirade about how he has consistently criticized the Republicans during the election season.

Chris Matthews was COMPLETELY out of control last night. Like Imus said, MSNBC was unwatchable. HORRIBLE.

They had Carville (yuck), Begala (he was okay), Bill Bennett (ewwwwwwww), and some black Republican.

I think Tweety forgot his medication or something. Unbelievable.

[seabeyond]

8. tweety did that then became a partisan hack himself for the repug

party. was just odd

[Inuca]

12. Carville, Benett, etc. were on CNN

not MSNBC. Long night, I know... :-)

[Patsy Stone]

16. That was CNN's line up

MSNBC had Andrea Mitchell, Bob Shrum (kill me now), Howard Fineman, and others. Tweety was unwatchable, and Bill Bennett was an insult and just his regular hateful self.

[Catchawave]

19. Andrea Mitchell was horribly annoying....

I flipped to CNN whenever she was whinning.

[Blue Belle]

36. I only watched because Olbermann was on there...

But it was pretty much a train wreck otherwise. Could Andrea Mitchell have been more morose?

[gkhouston]

44. what about Nora O'Donnell? *Totally* clueless about Lieberman and the

math for holding a Dem majority, even after others had explained it to her. I thought it was the make-up job that gave her that vacant expression but apparently she really is a dim bulb.

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

5. Why MSNBC LOOOOOVVVVEEEESSSS Tweety So Much Escapes Me

He & Keith went at it a couple of times as well.

[skooooo]

6. Tweety imploded last night.

Geeze. Get him off the air!

[Cha]

11. Well, tweety's brother got his

ass handed to him in PA! YAY!

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. He did???!!!!!!

No WONDER he was so pissed off last night!:rofl::rofl:: THAT IS SO FUNNY!!!! Bwahahahahahahaha!

[Blue Belle]

37. I loved the moment that he finally realized that the Dems won the Senate too...

He looked absolutely dumbfounded for at least a minute - looked at the rest of the commentators in disbelief. They all looked back at him like, "Uh yeah they won, Chris, where the fuck have you been all night?"

[Janice325]

14. You're up, OrangeCountyDemocrat! Or did you ever go to bed yet?

:hi:

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

29. No, I Went To Bed....

At about 1:30 AM here, woke up at 7 and turned on tv.

[chefgirl]

7. Well...

Scarborough said Hillary was part of the far left of the Dem. party. Tweety was interviewing Howard Dean at the time and Dean said something like whoever said that is obviously not non partisan, and Tweety agreed with Dean.

So, after a commercial break, Scarborough jumped all over Tweety and they had quite a little back and forth before it was all said and done.

Scarborough was 'offended' because he says hes tried really HARD to be fair to Democrats and was pissed off that Tweety would dare imply that hes a right winger. LOL.

So Tweety apologized, sort of, and Scarborough apologized for saying Hillary was a far lefty (says he really meant Barbara Boxer :eyes: )

Thats about the gist of it.

-chef-

[Neecy]

15. and actually, Scarborough is sort of right

He did an interview with Harold Ford yesterday and practically endorsed him. Heaped him with praise for being bipartisan, repeatedly called him his friend, talked about the good bills that Ford had initiated.

He *was* a ridiculous hack - up until Katrina. Then you could see his eyes open and he's been pretty critical of the Republican incompetence (although he surely still has his moments of GOP worship).

[slaveplanet]

24. This all makes sense

in the larger scheme of things...Tweety has a hard on for Hillary, so he defends her honor as much as he can get away with, his criticism of her is kept to minimum and forgettable issues. At the same time he is completely unhinged at any mention of Al Gore. Gore so preoccupies Tweety's birdbrain 24/7, that he has a dozen zingers loaded up in his clip, ready to drop at a moments notice.

Why?, because Tweety knows the real truth.
Hillary's real threat is Al Gore, not Obama.
How does this play into the larger picture?
Well, Hillary is unelectable in the South for one...Which is exactly why Tweety has a hard on, and he'll protect her and water that precious seed until election day 2008, and he doesn't need that intern killer to get in the way and chap his gig.

[Blue Belle]

39. Oh my god... I totally think that too.

In fact, I actually said last night, "Tweety has a hard-on for Hillary"...

[janx]

28. Tweety was unhinged. It was disgusting.

He was openly rude to Dean, to Scarborough, and to KO.

What the hell was the matter with him?

[riverwalker]

9. Keith gave Tweety some looks

Tweety was a arrogant, rude and testy punk. Keith would respond graciously, but look at him like he wanted to jump the table and kick his ass.

[NYYFan]

21. Tweety did show his ass on several occassions

and Keith did look like he wanted to open up a can. . .

[AngryOldDem]

10. Tweety pissed off EVERYBODY last night, didn't he? n/t

[Janice325]

13. In spite of the fact that Keith Olbermann was supposed to be on

MSNBC last night with Tweety, you hardly ever saw or heard Keith. Tweety was pissing off this viewer big time by interrupting his guests, not really paying any attention to what they were saying, being rude, being an ass about H. Clinton and Nancy Pelosi, being smarmy, thought he knew everything there was to know about everything, etc.
I've gotten so spoiled by watching Keith, thank God.
He was the epitome of unprofessional.

[Catchawave]

20. Tweet's ear piece said pass to Keith

and Matthews said "NO" :rofl:

[Blue Belle]

40. He barely let any Democratic Commentator talk all night.

He basically passed the conversation off to anyone else but the Dem.

[Maven]

18. I couldn't believe Tweety finally gave Keith his props ("you're as good as Murrow")

almost fell off my chair.

[marlakay]

23. when was that????

I finally switched to CNN because tweety was being such a jerk...I emailed MSNBC about it...

[Maven]

35. last night, as Keith was signing off

[Mr_Spock]

25. Yeah, but he was clearly patronizing him...

He was just repeating what he thought he wanted to hear - Tweety was clearly competing with everyone last night and he was a real prick about it. He just said that to try to quell the hard feelings that were clearly brewing on the set...

[Carni]

26. I read that the same way

Chrissie's comments of so called praise to KO struck me as REALLY snide and tongue in cheek.

Incidentally...was it me, or did KO's giving tweety two donuts to get him through the rest of the night kind of look like "stick these in your pie hole fat boy and shut the hell up" I thought that Tweety looked annoyed and I believe he said "I don't understand that"

Did anyone else see the donut thing? lol

KO was great--Mathews was terrible as usual.

[Mr_Spock]

27. Tweety was oblivious to EVERYONE's feelings last night

It was all about him and he couldn't understand why the others there wanted some mike time too.

Well, fuck him and his Republican leaning comments all night. He is on my shit list permanently - there is a reason I stopped watching him after 2004!

[Maven]

32. Maybe that's why Keith gave him some donuts in return!

Seriously though, I think Tweety was being about as sincere as he could be, which is not very sincere at all. He's a phony in general.

[Mr_Spock]

38. For sure - Tweety is about as sincere as Cheney IMHO

I've had it with him...

[Roxy66]

30. But when he said it he came off as so condesending....what a puke

[Mr_Spock]

22. Man! The cat-fights last night were funny!

It was Tweety against everybody.

Tweety was a FUCKING ASS HOLE all night in my opinion. Trying to dominate everyone - it was sickening.

[redqueen]

31. I couldn't bear to watch much, so thanks for the highlights.

I watched a little of it, but after hearing Tweety insult Gore for being 'fat, I just about lost it. After a 14-hour day at the polls in an 80% repub precinct, the last thing you want to be reminded of is how much a part the media whores' clowning plays in the state of things today.

[ChiciB1]

41. I'm With You.... Guess We Missed Some Action Though!!!

I think I might have watch about 30 minutes TOTAL of MSNBC. I took my dog for a VERY VERY LONG walk around 10:30 PM!!

Then stayed up waaaaay too late and was thinking I would get a little nap in today! Not gonna happen, but I AM really tired, but HAPPY!!!

WE still have a recount here in Sarasota County!! Kathy Dent-Shit is an ASS!!

[Lex]

33. Even after the initial blow-up between Tweety and Scarborough

they kept right on throwing digs at each other for the rest of the evening.

Keith Olbermann was the picture of professionalism and should've been in front of the camera more.

[gatorboy]

34. Tweety call Hillary "Chinese"

what the hell was that? :rofl:

[Lex]

42. Tweety acted postively insane last night.

Skipped his meds or something.

[gkhouston]

43. I think he realizes that his "career" is on a downward path.

:thumbsdown: for monopolizing the conversation all evening. Christ on a crutch, Buchanan did a better job of having genuine give-and-take discussions with people that Matthews did. :eyes:

[Lex]

45. Keith Olbermann postively SHINED compared with the insane

wild-eyed rantings of Tweety, and the beady-eyed coldness of Scarborough.
