I will be glad when Tweetys RFK book promotion is done.

[BannonsLiver]

Nothing against RFK at all but the endless shillling and attempts to run every current event through the RFK filter is tiring.

Yes I know I shouldn’t be watching Tweety.

[HipChick]

1. Aww...Let him be..

Can't stand it either...but at the same, I've got nephews and nieces asking who/was is JFK?

[BannonsLiver]

2. I really should

I guess having him show up on other talk shows I watch shilling the book has added to my irritation. It’s apperently a love letter to RFK so I guess that’s not so bad.

3. Well, I forgive you. I have only the vaguest idea of who "Tweety" is, having never watched him,

but I'm sure you have excellent reasons for doing so. As I understand it, he is a fox "news" person and therefore an ultra-conservative (fascist), so why his book about the highly excellent Robert F. Kennedy would be of interest to anyone who posts on Democratic Underground quite escapes me. It would be, I think, similar to me writing a book about Generalissimo Franco and trying to convince people to buy it. But, as I say, I'm certain that you have many reasons to watch this person's program and publicize his book. Do post a review for the rest of us who will never read it, won't you? Thanks!

6. Really?

Tweety is Chris Matthews on MSNBC.
Am I missing sarcasm?

[Glorfindel]

13. No, not really. I never watch TV. I remember reading that G.W. Bush called someone Tweety

but that's all. Not much of a nickname. Right up there with "pooty poot" in my humble opinion. I am sorry if I misjudged the man.
Maybe he is a good liberal Democrat. I hope so.

[BannonsLiver]

15. Hes called Tweety because his hair is the same shade as Tweety Bird.

I know you don’t care one way or another, but I figured this was a good place for an explainer in case someone else was unsure. Carry on.

[Cattledog]

16. He was an aide to Tip O'neil.

21. Its pretty obvious he must color his hair

Then it was brown, dark. Now it is yellow.

[BannonsLiver]

8. Hes been on MSNBC for 20 years.

But As someone who enjoys the art of expressing contempt subtly I appreciated your post.

4. My TV controller with "mute" and a spy thriller book in my lap solves the Tweety problem. nt

[KT2000]

5. Noooo

It has been great remembering the idealism of those days. We need such a reminder because no one is calling this nation to be better. I realize now, those were indeed special times when a great number of people were truly deciding to make this country better for all.

7. "We need such a reminder because no one is calling this nation to be better"

Do you believe the Office of the US Presidency will recover from this period of malfeasance and debauchery? Some days, I am just sick to my stomach of what I see ..

[KT2000]

9. I don't know

The republicans will always go low with the help of any criminals they can find. If a Democrat can win, there will be hope- I hope.

[BannonsLiver]

14. I see your point.

[UTUSN]

10. Bwa-ha-haw!1 living off the kennedys is his m.o.

[comradebillyboy]

11. I'll be glad whenTweety retires

[monmouth4]

12. I would so love to see Shep from Fox take his place..n/t

[malaise]

18. Not me

Tweety can be very good - that said I do hate the book hawking

[monmouth4]

22. Did you watch Jeopardy just now?

[malaise]

23. Yes - that was a freaking first

Don't want to say anything because some regulars have to wait a few hours. Stunning is the word.
I loved the entire tournament.

[monmouth4]

24. As Alex said it was the best fun they ever had. I enjoyed it.

[malaise]

25. It was fun

[HipChick]

17. Didn't he say, he was retiring after this election?

What happened?

[oasis]

19. He'll be passing them around to family members on Turkey Day.

[BannonsLiver]

20. HAhaha!

As they roll their eyes when he’s not looking.

[doc03]

26. May be a good book, I don't know but it looks like he cut out the pages

with a steak knife and pasted them together in his basement.
