Tweety CAN'T understand why people are angry at George
Edited on Fri Apr-02-04 08:00 PM by grasswire
He just can't get it. "What is it? Is it the smirk?" Why is there the undercurrent of anger against George??!!??

Gad.

Now he asks: "Why can't I have fun tagging this president?"

1. I don't care if he understands
and it's not an undercurrent with me, I've openly despised him from day one.

12. Clarke did
He said that Frist was on "puppy uppers" when he demanded his 2002 testimony be declassified. Clarke's response to this was, "FIne."

4. Is this the same media that covers up for Bush without being asked.
Like what they did to the letterman video? THat proved what we are up against. Tweety sucking on Bush's dick is no great suprise at this point.

6. Yes, but he also pointed out
That the reason it was funny with Clinton was because you knew he was a brilliant guy.. when you joke about Bush's intelligence, it's gallows humor. People that dumb shouldn't be running countries.

8. I think I understand where Matthews was coming from.
There was an article about six months ago (I didn't read it and don't know the author, but maybe someone here can help me out) in which a man wrote that he hates Bush because of his style.

Right-wingers like George Will used that article to say:
aha! People hate Bush becuase of his style and not over substance.

Chris Matthews was giving Al Franken a chance to answer that charge.

18. Tweety Needs A Sabatical...
It's time he and other "journalists" take a sabatical...time for some reflection and retraining.

When was the last time the Tweetster worked a city desk or covered a story involving people other than talking heads and the hoidy-toidy. Then, maybe Tweety would understand how people are living and feeling and the real issues that mean something...not the parsing and word games.

Memo to Tweety: Flight suits, cute nicknames and superfluous bullshit isn't what matters...substance does, and you've been a shill to a regime that has total disrespect and disdain for the middle and lower classes in this country.

Joe Trippi almost lost it...couldn't believe how disconnected both Matthews and Gomer Eskew were.

23. I'll Just Insert a Generic Tweety Rant HERE
Rant on Tweezer:

Since CLARKE has been on all of the top rated shows, Tweezer is getting the sloppiest of seconds at best. It's a little late for him to be getting any kind of "exclusive" on this story. And his show is at the bottom of CABLE ratings. The only funny line in the entire SNL season a couple of years ago was Darrell HAMMOND as Tweezer, cracking himself up with, "For the...FIFTY...people who watch this show (Hardball, not SNL)..." And probably most of the people who DO watch his show are us Dems. The wingnuts don't trust him, although they LOVE using him as a TOOL. He is a political flunky in the hothouse atmosphere of D.C., where the staffers gain their own status from the status of the boss they work for, up or down, winner or loser. He admires "SUCCESS" above all. He started "turning" when RAYGUN beat the pants off CARTER and O'NEILL. The last time he was identifiably one of us was when his book Hardball was published, which was BACK IN 1988. He has been trashing all things Dem since the FAKE impeachment and thoroughly during Campaign 2000. He voted against GORE. He is LOST to us in ALL ways. He has never done a show on Enron. He is scum.

Whew, that felt good. I'm adding it to my saved drafts of similar rants on the same topic.=====================================
