OWWW! Olbermann Just RIPPED Tweety A New One!

[Edgewater_Joe]

After a surrogate debate where some nobody state senator from Texas couldn't name a legislative accomplishment for Obama, Tweety came back clearly thinking he had a "Gotcha!" moment -- only to have Olbemann shut him up by asking, "Name a legislative accomplishment made by the U.S. Senate in the last seven years."

There was LAUGHTER at the question, and LAUGHTER at Tweety's silence. Tweety wanted to kill him.

I'm sure CROOKS AND LIARS and company will have it, but it was NASTY!

[Bicoastal]

1. Olbermann is clearly Gallant to Tweety's Goofus. nt

[Cha]

2. Thanks! KO to the rescue...take

that, tweetyass.

[Eurobabe]

3. I switched over to CNN, MSNBC is too twittering for me

missed the smackdown. Darn.

[dchill]

14. That'll teach you!

:)

[bagimin]

4. Damn....missed it!

Tweet is so smug.

[montanacowboy]

5. Tweety clearly is having gas pains

with KO literally taking over and pushing the aging Tweety aside; I love it; Tweety you can never touch Keith; you are obsolete and Keith is the MAN!!!!!

[RevCheesehead]

6. Then Tweety said "why do you think they call it Hardball?"

to which Keith replied "But this isn't Hardball, it's election coverage" to another room filled with laughter. :rofl:

[Hamlette]

8. It was BEAUTIFUL!!!! KO is a smart guy, tweety is an idiot. Loved it n/t

[SusanaMontana41]

11. And how!

I am so sick of that smug idiot Tweety. Screw him.

Marry me, Keith!

[tridim]

10. Damn! I can't believe I missed that. C'mon YouTube!

Suck on it Tweety!

[SoCalDem]

17. Spittleball or Slimeball is closer to the truth n/t

[Oceansaway]

7. TOUCHE !!..n/t

[texasleo]

9. Tweety should know better than to enter a battle of wits unarmed

:evilgrin:

[housewolf]

12. WOOO-HOOO!!!!

:bounce: :woohoo: :woohoo: :applause: :rofl: :rofl:

[Lex]

13. KO is the real deal.

Tweety is just a bunch of spittle with box-blonde hair.

It becomes more and more obvious all the time.

Esp. to Tweety.

[TheDebbieDee]

15. Bwahahahah! I HATE Tweety!

I HATE Scarborough, too!

[dchill]

16. That really, really had to hurt.

Really.

[global1]

18. Tweety Did Make This Texas State Senator Look Bad And You Got To......

believe that the HRC campaign will pick up on this and either point it out or use it in some negative way against Obama and his supporters. Obama supporters need to be prepared for that question that Tweety was asking - "Name a legislative accomplishment of Obama's?" Or "Name Obama's legislative accomplishments?"

Be prepared - the old Boy Scout Motto is in play here. Need to get a good answer ready for the onslaught.

[RamboLiberal]

19. Obama campaign is sharp - I'll bet from now on anyone

who goes on camera will be prepared for this crap, especially against Tweety or some Faux twit.

[Old and In the Way]

21. If legislative record was important, Joe Biden would be our nominee.

What legislative record did JFK have when he won the 1960 nomination? Do people really care about that when we elect a President? I fully expect Obama, or any Democratic nominee, to work with Congress in shaping the legislation. What the President does is define the big picture and sell the product to the American people. Hillary is a policy wonk, no doubt. I'm sure she'd be deeply involved with the legislation and could craft great legislation. But could she sell it? If she can't sell herself as the best candidate to be POTUS to the Democratic voter, why should we think that she could sell her/our agenda to the general public?

[Jack Sprat]

20. Then Tweety said "it is hardball" and Keith had to remind

him that it is "campaign coverage" and not his show. Matthews is the biggest frump of all-time.

[Old and In the Way]

22. I don't think they got along well before tonight.....

I don't think they'll be friendly after this close. Tweet was ass for that 'gotch' moment and KO made him look foolish at the close. Given this guy's ego, I wonder if they'll be co-anchoring in the future?

[ossman]

23. Keith runs MSNBC and Tweety cant stand it.

either can his 48 viewers.

Makes you wonder why KO is STILL the only lefty on.


Hint Hint Tucker and Dan Abrams.

Hello Dr. Maddow Show

[FVZA_Colonel]

24. I actually I thought they were friends.

I guess I just wasn't watching things too closely.

[Old and In the Way]

26. I'm merely speculating.

I have no idea...but I suspect, given their political bent, that they don't see things the same. I guess if Chris makes KO's Worst Person in the World, we'll have our answer. :-)

[radfringe]

25. As much as I enjoy KO

I don't watch the MSNBC election coverage, other than to surf over there to check the numbers

Tweety just plain annoys me too much - the few time I've tried to watch all I do is yell at the TV "Will somebody tell tweety to STFU or slap some duct tape on his mouth"
