He's on record as predicting GOPuke wins in both houses. It was about a month ago.

10. HAHAHA I love that you forgot your sarcasm emoticon......
He was the biggest ass of the evening and disrespected every Dem and even his own collegues. He should be given "time off" for bad behavior for his crap last evening.

13. I caught him for about a minute and a half
He was practically beside himself, bitching that the Democrats were celebrating their victories at their victory parties, and not addressing The August Presence. He seemed to take it personally that the victorious candidates were thanking their constituents and their volunteers, smiling and waving to the crowd in the room, clapping to the music being played, and generally enjoying themselves. Matthews wanted to know why none of them were addressing the cameras in the room, and telling the nation . . . well, I didn't quite catch what he thought they should tell the nation. I thought his little yellow head was going to pop.

19. He wasn't pissed at all
He seemed, if anything, happy. And he slapped down a couple of right-wing curs as the night went on. He and KO did a GREAT job, I thought. Entertaining, informative, and when they didn't have any news, they found some interesting background or a guest with an interesting perspective. I give them an A+. Best election coverage ever.

2. I think he had changed his tune in the last week or so though...
I think it was more a jealousy thing going on with KO, and also trying to cover his ass. He didn't do a very good job of it.

Yes. He was on GMA yesterday morning saying the Dems would win big.
And I agree with you - KO is kicking ass on MSNBC, overshadowing little Chrissy.

3. I don't know what he said a month ago, but this is what he said
right before the election:

"Because I think it's going to be a wipe-out. I think the Democrats are going to carry the House by 20-some, high-20s and I think the Senate seats are perhaps not six, but five, and I can see a big victory for the Democrats."

8. I thought Tweety was awful last night. Condescending to Keith,
pushed his opinion as fact, rude to Howard Dean, talked over the guests and other news hosts, whiny, mean-spirited, confused, addled brained and rambled just to hear himself talk. He added nothing to the news being reported last night.

Tweety showed that he was definitely in over his head during the entire time he was on air. Keith ran circles around Tweety. Keith remained a poised, concise, coherent, dignified journalist. All the things Tweety wasn't even close to achieving. Hope Dan Abrams reviews the tape and recognize what a mess Tweety was. Hell, even Dead Intern and BowTie Boy was better than Tweety - and that says a lot.

16. VERY rude to Howard Dean.....
I've never heard him ask the questions of a single Republican that he was badgering Dr. Dean with last night. I had to turn it off. I was shouting and screaming at the TV......the poor dog went and hid under the dining room table. :rofl: If Tweety and I were in the same room last night he wouldn't look the same today. Keith kept his cool (I don't know how) but then Keith always takes the high road. Tweety looked like a complete ass compared to Keith. :)

17. He was throwing fits like a spoiled child
that didn't have his nap. At one point, he was having a fit about "cue cards"...:wtf: Seriously, not a good night for the tweeter.

4. He despises Democrats since Clinton
I swear he must never get a B.J. from the wife, and he's bitter. It has to be the sex. He's never gotten over that. WEIRDO.

9. Tweety is always pissed, really.
Last night was actually almost funny.

And I heard that it was hard to watch Fox without pissing your pants with laughter at those poor fools.

12. They haven't taken Tweety away yet...?
I thought for sure he would be medicated and taken away in a little white jacket, he was in such a state last night.

:evilgrin:

15. He showed his true nature last night
Even if he plays a Dem every now and then, he is still a DINO and Bush supporter. Also, his brother ran for Lieutenant Governor in Pennsylvania as a Republican and lost, so he's double pissed.

21.  Absolutely!
All pretense of "objectivity" is SO GONE! He lost his shit last night and mourned his loss quite dramatically. It's not like we didn't KNOW, but he's confirmed it for the world now.

How he made it through the night without slit wrists is beyond me, though.

18. Over the weekend, he predicted Dems would win big.
I heard it - he said he expected it to happen. Guess he's a flip-flopper.

22. He certainly was unprofessional last night. So his adored brother lost his election.
Does that mean Tweety has to lose his professionalism? His brother shouldn't be a repub. His choice. His loss.
