12. I thought that Tweety would be the perfect "Greater Fool"

He has the ego that is needed to play that role.

One of the first times that I saw Tweety was on the McLaughlin Group when he was talking about GHW Bush shortly after he threw up on a Japanese dignitary. Bush then went to a political rally in Mexico where tear gas was deployed. Tweety said that Bush didn't know when he should barf or cry...

That was funny.

Tweety loves to hear himself talk. Me too.

Matthews, Soledad, and surprisingly Juan Williams seem to have a Newsroom bug. grantcart Sep 2012 #14

Really? I have been reluctant to connect the dots. That's why I asked the question. Odd Won Out Sep 2012 #15

I watched as Juan Williams called out the Romney campaign for playing the race card. grantcart Sep 2012 #16
