Tweety just can't handle democracy (DNC rules committee meeting) |
|
All this week MSRNC promo-ed that their coverage would be headed by Tweety. When the thing started 10 hours ago, the crew was Nora O'DOODLE, Chris TODD, Rachel MADDOW, and so-called "reporter" Andrea MITCHELL.
Tweety reported in a couple of hours later, and his insight was that we were getting "a rare look at democracy in action, an inside look at sausage-making..." Then he said they were long overdue for coming back from lunch, and O'DOODLE asked him, "Have you got somewhere to go, Chris?" And he replied, "It's Saturday." Somebody also mentioned the committee members had been told to rent rooms just in case the session had to go into tomorrow. But Tweety said there is a big fundraising for DNC in NY with GORE, so they needed to get going.
I just tuned in again for the last hour and no Tweety. He was out of NY instead of with the rest of the gang in DC, nearer to his MacMansion next door to G.E.RUSSERT and Jack Whassisname, the retired chairman of the board dude. He probably goes bowling with Jack on Saturdays.

2. Nope, I caught the first 2-3 hours. What was the inside joke? Plus, |
|
as plainly as most of us here see what a weathervane, schizoid, 2-face Tweety is, it seems that the Beltway bozos accept him as a PLAYER in the game.

3. sadly...he made it seem like...Howard was actually at the house last night. |
|
Maybe he wants his help in case he runs for senate in PA? God, that senate race will be such a freak show.

Tweety has admitted that his native roots (working class Philly) were Rethug parents and grandparents. It was just the JFK Irish-Catholic deal that carried him away for awhile. After RAYGUN whipped the pants off of Tweety's bosses CARTER and O'NEILL, Tweety rediscovered his true self, which is on the Rethug side of things.
His whole career with the Dems was a matter of convenience and patronage. He admits joining the Peace Corps specifically to avoid Vietnam, NOT out of idealism. After that he worked 3 months as a rent-a-cop (Capitol police)---emphasis on the THREE MONTHS, *not* on the police service----then he made himself believe---his bread being buttered by Dem political jobs--- as a political operative, that he really was a Dem.
In the hothouse atmosphere of D.C., flunkies get their power and prestige from whether their bosses are successful. Flunkies like Tweety have their antennae finely tuned to who's IN and who's OUT, and when RAYGUN succeeded, Tweety switched his admiration over to him VERY easily and with SELF-conviction.

6. This song is for Tweety |

The Times They are a-changin'.
Bob Dylan
Come gather 'round people, wherever you roam And admit that the waters around you have grown And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone. If your time to you is worth savin' Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin'.
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide, the chance won't come again And don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'. For the loser now will be later to win For the times they are a-changin'.
Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled There's a battle outside, and it's ragin'. It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin'.
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land And don't criticize what you can't understand Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command Your old road is rapidly agin'. Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand For the times they are a-changin'.
The line it is drawn, the curse it is cast The slow one now will later be fast As the present now will later be past The order is rapidly fadin'. And the first one now will later be last For the times they are a-changin'.
