Uh oh. Is Tweety feeling that special tingle up his leg again?

Up next…who loses the most with Scott Brown’s victory this week? It might be Sarah Palin. All of the sudden, she has company on the Republican hot list. Well, political hot list.

Head. Slams. Keyboard. Matthews is well known for his man crushes. He could hardly contain himself when Bush landed on that aircraft carrier to announce "Mission Accomplished". And he waxed rhapsodic over Fred Thompson's "manly" scent. We could detect the wistful longing in his voice when referring to Mitt Romney, and don't even get me started on his love for Rudy Giuliani. And now CosmoBoy Scott Brown enters the ranks of the handsome, just-out-of-reach politicos that give Tweety that special thrill.

And that he mentions Sarah Palin in the same breath is equally as egregious. Two untested, ill-informed, tea-baggin' politicians are now be considered by him as forerunners for the Republican Party without batting so much as an eyelash in irony, yet he can go on the offensive with Alan Grayson, a straight-shooting legislator who's is actually trying to do something more than self-aggrandizement.

Matthews has a near sociopathic ability to separate intent from merit. There is no factoring in for truth, or right, or justice, or selflessness. There's no consideration for the issues or the impact on Americans. It's all about being "hot". It's all about how Matthews responds to the politico with his little Tweety.

Example #234,203,347 on how the media fails Americans yet again.

long for every last drop of populism to get sucked out of their teabags. GOP SOP.

The older he gets the more obvious it is that there is something wrong with Tweety.

I just wonder if he were being honest with himself who he would find to be hotter, Palin or Brown.


Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.

It seems his case of Celebrity Worship has intensified to the 12th power......gushing like a little girl over Brown!! Methinks sometimes Tweety displays more than a dollop of homoerotic behavior.

Gag me with a fork!
Just when you think it couldn't get any worse.
We get another heaping helping of republican insanity!

.....The bartender says, “Sorry, we don’t serve your kind here.” The Democratic congressman whimpers, “You’re right, I’m sorry, I never should’ve come in here, it’s all my fault, boo-hoo, please, bend me over, I’ll do whatever you want because I’m a little punk.” The bartender says, “Jesus Christ, you people are pathetic.”


Cue the Kabuki....

I'm not sure if this is a joke or if it actually happened.

Tweety clearly conflates being a douchebag who has no respect for intellectual honesty, with being the host of a political discussion show covering serious issues. In the segment with Grayson especially, Friday's show was the pinnacle of tribute to spittle-flecked sophomoric antagonisms. I guess if you can't get a viewership to take you seriously in an honest fashion, you get them to tune in to see some kind of carnage. Too bad Tweety doesn't understand that the carnage is himself.

proudly brings you:

Brown/Palin 2012!!!!

Popular, clueless, easy to manipulate, and dispensible!

The PERFECT shadow government corporation puppets!

(Sarah won't mind been put second again. After all, she'll still be able to make legislation in the Senate.)

Their baby would be scary.

Their baby would be a brown palin.

What's next, a swimsuit competition?

about the swimsuit competition: Scottie's already posed in the buff, so to make it a meaningful game, Miss Sarah would have to do the same.
Though, I s'pose she would get to use both arms to hide "parts".

And, in order to be considered a 'naughty librarian' - I think Sarah would need to provide proof that's she's actually ever spent any time in a library - dontcha' betcha' huh?

Years ago Mad Magazine did an article called if presidents were chosen like Miss America, complete with a swimsuit competition, using the candidates of the 1968 election.

is there anyone who watches "Hardball" (an ironic name for the show?)
who takes Chris seriously??! He's harmless.

But, his Bro Jim, has tried to be a big time Repuke pol here in PA for a long time. He's been a commissioner here in Montgomery County, PA for years and made at least one unsuccessful run for governor. They're just a bunch of political wannabees.

...but since this is a post about the frivolous and ridiculous Chris Matthews, I feel this is more important.

Someone posted a video of Rep. John Murtha pissing off the repugs on CSpan on facebook today. I watched and can't for the life of me figure out what's going on. Can someone who may have seen this live coherently explain what happened? Murtha is a bit of a prick, but this seems to be one of those things that allow the repugs cause to complain that the dems are just as corrupt as (we all know they are) as they are.

Please excuse the fact that this is on Eric Cantor's youtube site. Apparently Glenn Beck used this vid in a rant recently.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywgUCdefSW8

C'mon, somebody. This is either Murtha truly being an ass here or pure media manipulation, the latter of which I suspect more. Moderator, do you know?

Umm, your reply is not what I was looking for. I asked for a coherent explanation, not a snarky quip. Also, what's with that ridiculous link to the Orlando examiner? Anyone else?

in the hearts of the hardcore baggers. While I'm sure he's as malleable as any Republican, he's got a record that won't quite convince the social conservatives he's one of them, and he seems reticent to fully embrace the baggers as his people. At best they see him as a usefull no vote against what they see as Obama's attempts to socialize the entire U.S. economy.

While there may be independents and moderate Republicans who have been sucked in by some of the Teabag rhetoric concerning balanced budgets and government overreach, the folks who come out for the rallies and are more actively involved appear to lean heavily towards the Beck/freeper types who are quick to dimiss anyone who doesn't sound like a batshit-crazy wingnut as a RINO. Hell, they're already grumbling about SP backing the hated Juan McCain over nutjob J.D. Hayworth in the AZ Senate primary.

Malcolm Gladwell has a chapter in Blink devoted to the ascendency and subsequent presidential disaster that was Warren Harding.

He looked like a Senator, a President. But that was about all he had going for him.

the "new" rethug winners are really purty - what with their permanent lip liner and zoomed-up pearly whites smiling at us from the fox news room.

It's only a matter of time before good ol' Mitch is pushed into the background because he can't make the grade on Little Miss Perfect.

Has anyone called Matthews "Tweety" to his face?

I mean, if he's all worked up about the Netroots, maybe someone can call him "Tweety" in public. I would buy the DVD.

*****

Matthews: Senator Blowhard, what to think about all the grief I get from the Netroots?

Sen. Blowhard (R): Well, Tweety, I mean, Chris, .... (chuckle, chuckle, chuckle)

[cut to commercial]

I think I've seen Dean come close and maybe one or two others. I'd pay to see that.

in his segment with Alan Grayson, I vote for Grayson to reach around the "dividing line" and slap some sense into Tweety....what a douchebag he can be!


“The greatest evildoers are those who don’t remember because they have never given thought to the matter, and, without remembrance, nothing can hold them back,”

As Tweety continues to felatte every Repubican man that he meets, the rest of us are left in a reach. Around here we refer to him as being orally fixated on another dickhead that tingles his thigh. Most of us wouldn't be that anal about someone that we barely know, but Tweety seems to have some spunk in him. Butt, I'll give him some credit for being less cumberson than he was with Bush.

Who needs Billo-the-Clown or Rove?? You've got Tweety at MSNBC ! !! He has REALLY turned to a hack in the last couple of years.. All he does is talk about and admire republicans 24x7... WHY not just go over to Cluster-Fox and be honest about it???

We've had twenty or so years of executive-suite and board of directors' beauty pageants, and the economy is demonstrating their shameful lack of skill. The GOP, in extremis, has decided that it needs one too, to pass out more bailouts and dim the lights of freedom even more.
A public weaned off Bible stories onto the National Enquirer will vote for a filmland face and damn the content of the script, plot, or dialogue. Don't expect them to object.
The party of (bless his memory), poor ol' homely Cousin Abe, has sold out to the equivalent of the high school clique queen. This ol' hillbilly is not the only pissed-off freedom lover out here.

I present to you the NEXT President and Vice President...

And there they are...

PRESIDENT BROWN and VICE PRESIDENT PALIN

Get ready.

THIS WILL HAPPEN...

I'm fairly sure Chris Matthews is a nice enough guy in person. On TeeVee he stinks. He should seriously think about retiring and letting some real journalistic talent take over.

Last week (or the week before), Matthews did a pretty good job slapping down Politico for printing everything Dick cheney says, then he does something like this and he looks like a moron.
Chris, there are medications that can be taken to help with your condition.

After watching this moron stand next to McConnell and the other GOP fascist nutjobs for three years - and doing nothing but screwing the people, I suspect the voters of Massachussetts will get over their Coakley hang over, and pretty boy will get crushed in 2012.
