so lost some cultural things going on.

So my question is: "Why is Chris Matthews referred as tweety." I think is kinda cute and he acts and sounds like the picture of ADHD -so maybe related?

Something else, I missed was the elevation of some political figures, like Sen. Elizabeth Warren. For me she seems pretty good as she is advocating liberal values, but so are many others.

I am back in the USA as of a couple years but some things I have not caught on completely.

I'm guessing 'cause he resembles Tweety Bird?

Tweety is the big-headed yellow bird. Annoying as hell, and always thwarts the cat's plans to capture him. Matthews looks like him. I can't remember exactly who. Started that meme, but it might've been Bartcop. Anyway, it started a long time ago.

Sounds almost like a term of endearment although meant to include the annoying part also!

Confession: I find Chris Matthews good looking and charming.

You're right about how it has become a term including both annoyance and a kind of affection around here.

Who trapped tRump on abortion. Who tagged team Weaver on the Burn's taxes. A couple of months ago he exposed Sanders naivety on carrying out policies. The burn said he'll tell McConnell to look out his window at all the people lining up etc...I've even seen him defend closed primaries. quote "What is wrong with asking them to be democrat to vote in democratic primary just register to vote as a democrat and you'll be able to vote etc... . CM gets a lot of shit from both sides which is how we know he is trying to tell both sides. He has a wife who is Hill supporter he has to show some impartiality. Yes, he can be annoying
