Tweety is not only flighty, he's a goddamned coward to boot!!!!

[CatWoman]

He's avoiding the Shrub AWOL/disobeying a lawful order story like the plague.

Zahn did the story tonight, Olberman too.

I guess Tweets woke up to a horse's head (or ass) in his bed after pissing off the BFEE over the doctored ad bit featuring sound snippets from his show.

Tweets was pissed then.

He ain't shit now.

[Zomby Woof]

1. I knew your "break" wouldn't last!

:P

[CatWoman]

3. LOL -- well, I had to take a peek

:hi:

[Zomby Woof]

4. STOP IT!

Tweety causes high blood pressure and possible brain damage! :crazy:

[CatWoman]

7. I didn't watch Tweety

I saw the other threads.

I did, however, tune in to Olberman.

[Zomby Woof]

19. Olbermann ROCKS

The only show I watch along with The Daily Show. :D

[jean]

20. same here - those shows are almost all you need to stay current

[blondeatlast]

2. I 'spect that he's been crossed off the Press Secretary list.

He's been showing some promise--now he's caving to BOTH sides.

I can't stomach it anymore.

[sidestreamer]

5. For those who would rather call people by their actual names...

can you possibly tell me who "tweety" is?

[blondeatlast]

6. Chris Matthews.

Edit: hope you and yours are well, from the deserts of AZ.

[CatWoman]

8. ah, a smart ass in the midst

:D

[sidestreamer]

11. I wasn't being a smartass actually

and I have a hard time understanding how "tweety" describes Matthews.

[CatWoman]

12. LOL

OK -- I'll bite.

His hair is the same color as Tweety Bird.

MediaWhoresOnline reported that his staff called him "Tweety" behind his back.

:D

[sidestreamer]

15. I see.

Tweety is a small bird though, and Chris is rather portly... but I get it. Thanks.

[Kahuna]

17. His huge yellow head maybe????

:shrug:

21. How Tweety Got His Name - the Unexpurgated Version

During Campaign 2000 the media whores were swooning over the nicknames Shrub was giving some of them. Media Whores Online ran a contest to nickname Chris-the-Whore. In the first 3 or so weeks, there was no clear, catchy front runner, with "The Screamer" sort of leading. Then one of The Whore's own Hardball staff LEAKED to MWO that his own staff called him Tweety because of the Clairol shade he favored. This was immediately declared the winner. But in some quarters, it wasn't entirely satisfactory. For one thing, by the time it was declared, the shade had changed to platinum, leading to a suggestion he be called Carole LOMBARD. Plus, "Tweety" sounds too affectionate towards this JERK WHORE. Then M-TV held it's 20th or 25th or whatever anniversary, and all the cable whores were doing segments of Brittany shedding her duds down to almost nothing. Not to be left behind in any whore game, Tweety followed suit, with a guest from Time Mag, the young humor columnist, whassisname Joel STEIN. The staff kept re-running the Britany clip, and Tweety was clearly DROOLING disgustingly. The Time dude said, "You're beginning to creep me out." Tweety responded, "Yeah, well, wait till YOU're 50." This led to the suggestion that "Tweety" be modified to "Tweezer" to retain the hair reference while canceling out the affection factor and also adding the (dirty old) "geezer" angle.

Just to round out the Tweety portrait: 1- He is our enemy. 2- The last time he was identifiably a Democrat was circa 1988 when his book, Hardball, was first published. 3- He's a political flunky who worships SUCCESS, and started "turning" through admiration for RAYGUN's kicking his Dem bosses' rears. 4- He was ABSOLUTELY VICIOUS to President GORE all through Campaign 2000. 5- He triggered a gun incident by naming, ERRONEOUSLY, Kathleen WILLEY's supposed "jogger" (Pat BUCHANAN's mentally ill brother took the gun to the house). 6- He is a de facto wingnut operative. 7- He voted for Shrub.

22. Hey Sweetie

:hi:

thanks for the info!!

[UTUSN]

23. Ah, How Sweet It Is to Be Your Sweetie! n/t

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

9. Tweety is a self serving candy ass piece of shit

I hate it when DU applauds any fucking alleged TV PERSONALITY reporter for telling the truth occasionally...wasn't THAT supposed to be their fucking job??

[CatWoman]

13. Oh Teena

I think we get overly excited in the present climate.

When someone actually does his or her job, it just sends some of us to the moon.

*don't hit me*

:D

:hi:

[TheDonkey]

10. His cowardice really shown through during the zell meltdown

when he pathetically tried to suck up to Zell after it was clear the man had gone insane.

[sidestreamer]

14. I disagree

It's about keeping access open to your sources, and as you saw, Zell can drive ratings for his network. It would be bad business going too hard on him when he got like that. One principle journalists must remember is to keep the most damaging evidence against your subject out of view so you can dangle it over him and squeeze more out of it....

16. Matthews Grovelled That Night - It Was Revealing

[PROGRESSIVE1]

18. Tweety is "in love with *'s crotch".

:puke:

[Fed Up]

24. He has dementia praecox

One day he's for Kerry. One day he's for Chimpie.

On any given day, you don't know what you're getting.

What pisses me off is that if Kerry wins, Tweety will be 100% in his camp.
