11. Tweety should have been gone long ago....

Did you see him at the Dem debate talking about how a Republican could win and Rachael and Keith called him out by simply asking, "Who?"

He sat there with his mouth open drawing a blank and then the horror hit him that they had NOBODY.

13. +1

Phil Donahue was also a champion of consumer issues and single payer health care strategies. They had to shut him up.

2. Reminds me of that stupid phrase William Safire came up with, "nattering nabobs of negativity".

16. Makes me want to not watch Matthews anymore. I do love it when it goes on an anti-Repug rant but

sometime I feel he's being a bit disingenuous. Does anyone remember how excited Matthews was when told Cheney was on the line? (I think it was in "Fahrenheit 9/11" but I can't find that scene.)
