Oh fuck NO...Tweety just said he's watching Rand Paul because "he has magic"

[Miles Archer]

I guess it's not the same as the "sunny nobility" he saw in George W. Bush, but...

...oh, that Tweety.

[Kalidurga]

1. I gotta say this again. I will probably say this a lot until Tweety retires...

I hate that guy.

[rurallib]

22. totally agree

he is rude, ill informed and obnoxious. Haven't watched him in years and refuse to watch when he does election coverage

[Kalidurga]

35. he is rude, ill informed and obnoxious

...and those are his good qualities.

[randys1]

52. He is actually more informed on government than just about anybody else on TV

problem is he has a huge ego and has these ridiculous thoughts that he insists on saying out loud

[rurallib]

54. I don't know - Lawrence O'Donnell really seems to know musty details

as does Rachel. But Matthews always seems to want to draw attention to himself.

[randys1]

57. Funny how all the actual experts are on that commie channel

[Jamastiene]

42. +1000000

[TwilightGardener]

2. Someday someone's going to have to explain Rand Paul to me, because

I'm still not getting it. I have no idea why he has any prominence whatsoever.

[moondust]

10. Same here.

Empty suit with name recognition.

[SolutionisSolidarity]

12. Rand Paul is exceptionally dangerous.

He has youth appeal with his vague anti-war and pro-marijuana policies, but is clearly thought to be a house-broken dog because the Republicans are not moving against a Paul campaign. Clinton versus Paul would be a disaster; Democrats would be forced to campaign as the hawkish establishment side, which would depress our turn-out and probably not even slightly diminish Republican enthusiasm (given how top-down their structure is).

[Comrade Grumpy]

21. He keeps talking about the war on drugs and its impact on minorities, too.

And he's teamed up with Cory Booker on a sentencing reform bill.

I think he's trying to be the Republican candidate who can win some black and brown votes.

I applaud his war on drugs stance and his work on sentencing reform. It's part of why I find him dangerous, too. Some of his policy positions are going to appeal to young, not-so-ideological people who don't like wars, at home or abroad, and for whom the Democratic Party is a bunch of stodgy old people. And if he can start making inroads into the black and brown vote...

[treestar]

48. Is that enough to win though

Talk like that will lose him the republican geezers and warmongers

[LuvNewcastle]

19. A lot of people nowadays fancy themselves 'libertarians' without even

knowing what the word means. They think being a libertarian is all about legalizing drugs, especially pot, and staying out of other countries' affairs. If it were only that simple. Rand Paul wants to run as a Republican (wink, wink) Libertarian, and people will probably come out of the woodwork to vote for him because he uses that label. Of course he has no intention of doing the things he'll promise to do, but this country is full of suckers who like to be told what they want to hear. It's not so much that they love Rand Paul. They love what he represents to them in their feeble little minds.

[nichomachus]

47. In its classical formulation

libertarianism was a utopian fantasy and totally unworkable. In it's current incarnation it is propagated by corporatists to avoid regulation, taxes, laws, etc. It is followed by simpletons.

[niyad]

24. perhaps the time article from last week would explain it (headline something along the lines of:

the most interesting man in politics-rand paul.) I was glad I was not drinking anything when I saw it, confirming that time has as much credibility as the national enquirer and whatever other dreck is by the checkout stands.

[TwilightGardener]

33. I guess if you call someone interesting, that's enough to make him interesting...

He's a pure media invention, IMO. Like Sarah Palin back when she was still governor of Alaska, before being outed as a flaky trashy nobody.

[Odin2005]

41. Because he give hard-ons to Libertarian idiots.

[Warren Stupidity]

3. Is it pants magic like Bush had?

Or some other undisclosed location?

Tweety is so very predictable.

[Art_from_Ark]

25. Yeah, that codpiece in the flight suit was so "manly"

Can Rand Paul top that?

[Skidmore]

4. I just caught the end of his program where he is drooling

over Mitch McConnell.

[Cha]

7. yes of course.. mitch is soooo droolable..

[Cha]

5. Rec for rand paul's "magic" to show what an idiot Tweety is.. Time Mag called ol rand the most

interesting man in politics on the cover. Must be that fake dr degree he has and..

[CAG]

9. somehow he can change positions every other day and be called

"interesting" and "magic".... all others would be called spineless flip-floppers

[Cha]

39. Prescisely CAG.. 'cause that's our US' Bought & Paid for... Corporate Media Whore$$$$$$$$$$

[gordianot]

6. Tweety is in love, but not that long ago Tweety was making fun of Paul's drone filibuster.

Rand Paul may have magic so Tweety has once more turned into a troll, give it time he will morph again.

[world wide wally]

8. Did he get a tingle up his leg?

[yellowcanine]

17. My question also. Matthews is a nutcase.

[Blue Owl]

11. Magic... Carpet?

n/t

[MFM008]

13. sorry

TV is off when he is on, In fact I pretty much just watch Ed Schultz and Rachel.

[flamingdem]

14. Rolf

[Pakid]

15. Tweety needs to be put back on his meds.

You know that ones that knock him out so we don't have to listen to him!

[Submariner]

16. Tweety just plain sux

"We're proud of our president. Americans love having a guy as president, a guy who has a little swagger, who's physical, who's not a complicated guy like Clinton or even like Dukakis or Mondale, all those guys, McGovern. They want a guy who's president. Women like a guy who's president. Check it out. The women like this war. I think we like having a hero as our president. It's simple. We're not like the Brits."
(MSNBC's Chris Matthews, 5/1/03)

[Barack_America]

18. Did you ever know a kid who kissed the ass of anyone "cool"?

Tweety was one of those kids. Never grew out of it.

[LuvNewcastle]

20. Why do y'all watch him?

His voice is annoying and he's never had a profound thought in his life. I'd turn off the tv, or at least switch channels.

[treestar]

50. +1

That voice is like a yappy dog's

[MH1]

23. The question is, why is anyone watching Tweety?

[elleng]

30. Excellent; I never do,

except when he's on with Rachel, as he was 'recently.'

[colsohlibgal]

26. Ah, His New Crush

Many of us remember his nauseous schoolgirl babbling over Dubya's fake victory landing.

[MADem]

31. Tweety is a bit of a Tingle-berry....he gets a tingle every time he sees a politician he likes. nt

[MADem]

27. Yeah, he has a magic-fucking-squirrel on his head!!! nt

[elleng]

28. OH GOD!

rand's on rachel now.

[Scootaloo]

29. Remember when he waxed on about how Fred Thompson smelled?

Tweety is a twit.

[Miles Archer]

38. "Aqua Velva"

Yep, I remember.

Chris Matthews: Fred Thompson Is The Aqua Velva Man
By John Amato June 13, 2007 5:52 pm - 1
Tweety: Thompson is the Aqua Velva man

http://crooksandliars.com/2007/06/14/tweety-thompson-is-the-aqua-velva-man



MATTHEWS: Can you smell the English leather on this guy, the Aqua Velva, the sort of mature man‘s shaving cream, or whatever, you know, after he shaved? Do you smell that sort of—a little bit of cigar smoke? You know, whatever.

[L0oniX]

32. Rand Paul and Miss Cleo 2016

[workinclasszero]

34. Hitler had that magic too jackass!

These people are the ones informing the public so it should be no surprise how fucked up we are!

[world wide wally]

36. I can't even watch anything political now.

None of it.
Strictly sports from now on, and then every November I'll go vote "D" and go back to football.

[redstateblues]

55. All sports for me. I'm sick of

politics for the time being

[7wo7rees]

37. Tweety is "magical" because he is just so damned predictable.

Blows with the wind.

Can't stand to watch him. His voice is shrill, he stands for nothing consistently. That's why you can always count on him.

[Odin2005]

40. Does he have a tingle down his leg?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

43. Tweety to Tom Delay: "I owe you one"

Access journalism. They all live by it.

https://m.

[Jamastiene]

44. I'm still trying to get the image of his leg tingling out of my head.

I won't watch him. He sounds too much like a sports announcer and he rude and obnoxious, but I live it when someone points out what his latest nonsense is, just to point out his weird leg tingling comment. He should never live that down.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

45. Wait until he dons a codpiece/NT

[True Blue Door]

46. Listening to degenerate media sycophants is a waste of time.

[Rex]

49. Folks, do yourself and your health a big favor...stop watching Tweety.

The man was never fit to serve as a news anchor.

[randys1]

51. Sadly many young liberal thinkers think Rand Paul is interesting

They dont understand what the civil rights movement was about, that Rand Paul wants to destroy civil rights, etc.

I have been worried about that jackass for a long time.

[RKP5637]

53. IMO Tweety = Twitty! n/t

[hunter]

56. Like Viagra when a corporate lobbyist buys him a hooker...

... no performance anxiety.
