Did you know that Chris was in the Peace Corp in Africa? I think that is where he feels alot for southernyankeebelle Aug 2012 #7
Yes... even during his irratic "Bush-loving period," that endeared him to me. hlthe2b Aug 2012 #16
I beg to differ. He did not "love" Bush. He just didn't hate him like progressives did. Honeycombe8 Aug 2012 #25
He went through a period where he expressed almost man-love for Bush* because he was so enamored hlthe2b Aug 2012 #28

Tweety's been in the political and news business for decades. He doesn't need to take lessons from Honeycombe8 Aug 2012 #21
I'd bet my bottom dollar Tweety is being influenced by the Newsroom--a show his own son has appeared hlthe2b Aug 2012 #31
