Tweetius Interrupticus -the OFFICIAL Tweety Thread!

[PCIntern]

Isn't Tweety just...well...EBULLIENT tonight??!!?

These reasons are just a few of why this is so:

1. Hillary lost. He has spent the last I-don't-know-how-many-years campaigning against her and, as Tweety's wife once said to him: Get ready, 'cause TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT!!!!1 And he's just as happy this evening as he was THAT evening.

2. Barack Won. This is good news for Tweety because he feels that he has a chance to be the journalist-on-the-scene when HISTORY IS MADE. He thinks back to all those moments when TV broadcasting is reprised and images of Walter Cronkite, Huntley/Brinkley, Frank McGee, Peter Jennings and the like. imagine adding the name of:

TWEETY

to that group. The mind does boggle and the tingle just goes right up the leg.

3. His medications are kicking in. Whatever he's taking seems to have changed his somatic symptoms but has given him a mania which is not his usual spittle-filled diatribe. One exception to that is his propensity to interrupt a la Tweety: he asks a question, allows a beat-and-a-half pregnant pause, and then asks a supplemental, unnecessary question over the poor-asshole who's trying to answer the question in the first place. He repeats the question using alternative language so it isn't more enlightening than it was before, it's just the schtick of the TWEETY SHOW.

4. They got his hair right. When they accidentally dyed it red the other day, ti must have been disconcerting. Now that he's a bottle-blonde again, and thinks he resembles a young Troy Donahue, he's "on" his "game".

[ErinBerin84]

1. haha, he's still a mixed bag.

Tweety just said "How does Obama say to people, beside African Americans, "if I win, you win".

[PCIntern]

2. Yes, a sack of shit...

pardon me...sorry.

[ErinBerin84]

7. haha

Tweety is going to Harold "No one can relate to him, he went to all of these elite schools!" (um, most politicians have, bucko), and Harold said "I don't want to say anything about McCain's wife that can be seen as disrespectful...but, McCain married into a beer fortune." LOL. Finally, some one said it. I can tolerate him more without Joey Scarbs.

[rocktivity]

11. I think he's ALREADY accomplished that mission, Tweety.

I wasn't planning to break into the white zifandel until after the Montana poll close in two hours, but...

:eyes:
rocknation

[rhiannon55]

3. the tingle just goes right up the leg

LOL! You know your Tweety! Thanks for the laugh!

[Blue_Roses]

4. he'a absolutely giddy...

I can understand why:D

[Gore1FL]

5. ???

He was gushing over her all last sumer, fall and the beginning of winter.

[PCIntern]

Setting her up for the fall...

so to speak. They built her up so that they could make her credible so that they could destroy her...sounds weird, but that's how the media works. If they don't champion her, she can't fall as far.

At least, that's my opinon...FWIW.

[Gore1FL]

21. I think she fell on her own merits

Running as inevitable and the nomination phase as a coronation set her way higher than the power of the media to raise.

[TeamsterDem]

6. "Tweetius Interrupticus"

One of the funniest things I've EVER heard! :rofl:

[Tatiana]

8. HE IS KILLING ME!!!!!!!!!!

First - His more than obvious CRUSH on Michelle Bernard. Everytime he introduces her, he gets this smitten grin on his face and I somehow think he's gonna blurt out "wanna be my gurlfrien?"

Second - The way he just cracked up when Harold Ford Jr. said McCain married into a Beer Fortune. It *was* funny the way he said it, but still...

I'm sure I'll be adding more as the night goes on...

[PCIntern]

10. That was a funny comment by Ford...

Tweety was busting a gut.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

46. p.s. MSNBC is trying to get rid on Mathews. They think David

Gregory is the golden child. And Keith, as well. Chris has always been jealous of all
the adoration Russert gets. I simply don't get it. Chris is a million times more
intelligent than Russert !

BTW, Chris's contract is up next year. They will probably drop him because his ratings
are low. Big mistake, IMHO, if they do.

[PCIntern]

48. he's perfect for Faux

or he's gonna run for Senate in PA...in the Spittle Party.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

50. Are you serious? faux? that's crazy talk. if you think of all the

media people out there - there is no one, save Keith, who has helped the dems more.

[Oceansaway]

9. once again...SSS...

Shit Sandwich Syndrome..........

[KoKo]

12. He has Learned, though...he stopped short of saying:"The Thrill Went Down My Leg."

Should we expect that this will be an "improvement in coverage" from him? :shrug:

[Ichingcarpenter]

13. He really slammed Pat Buchanan good today

he introduced Pat as a dead commentator from long ago
or something like that. Then slammed him 2 more times

[PCIntern]

17. He hates Pat...

'cause Pat doesn't pussyfoot around - he's just a racist, anti-Semitic, homophobe, who hates everyone and is a sociopath of the first order. Tweety parses all this stuff and asks questions like: How does Obama get everyone on board who's not African-American?..or words to that effect. Pat screams (literally): whites ain't gonna vote for Obama.

[Ichingcarpenter]

34. Oh, I have no illusions on his crappy viewpoints

But, I'm enjoying the evening.

[shadowknows69]

14. He's in rare annoying form

I only watched him for about four minutes and I was ready to throw a chair at my TV.

[LibraLiz1973]

15. The argument that tweety makes that annoys me most is the

"Is he/she one of us"?

It is SO annoying & I swear to you, EVERY time I check in to anything he is doing, he is saying it!

[ErinBerin84]

16. oh man.

I think I just missed something good.Did he just say that Hillary Clinton and John McCain were in a tree house with a sign that said "no Barack Obama allowed!"?

[crickets]

29. Yes he did (and a question)

He was talking about Hillary's presidential litmus test thing, where she and McCain were ready and Barack was not. Then he made his tree house remark. I can't do the leadup and phrasing justice, but it was surreal enough I did a doubletake as well. I'm sorry I didn't have the DVD running.

A little earlier he was talking about lingo, then stopped himself and said something about an embargo. They all laughed like it was a running topic. What was that all about? Are they purposely not talking about some things?

[crickets]

38. Never mind - Keith just answered my question.

Leaks of Obama's speech are embargoed. That's good, if they actually manage to control themselves. ;)

[Blarch]

18. I fully expect some drool soon...

[Blue-Jay]

19. HA!

[Tatiana]

20. OMG, that shouted "HA!" kills me too!

:rofl:

[Ichingcarpenter]

23. HA! I'm actually enjoying Tweety tonight in a weird way

He just called McCain a liar.

[Tatiana]

28. Me too. He's having more fun than he should, but it's hilarious to watch! n/t

[ErinBerin84]

22. Did anyone see him just read McCain's "statement"

implying that the media and party leaders "declared Obama the nominee"? Chris just said "In 10 years of covering this guy, I have yet to see a reporter lay a glove on him." Why don't you start, Tweets?

[Ichingcarpenter]

24. That was hilarious......... HA!!!

[PCIntern]

25. Sorry:

In the official Tweety thread, you must refer to him as TWEETY...

:rofl: :hi:


On edit: Thank you for your compliance!!!!1


:hi:

[ErinBerin84]

32. touche, with my own variation.

[ErinBerin84]

26. "Larry Craig memorial bathroom..."

"The bridge that fell down...Republicans will have a lot to celebrate at their convention".

[newmajority]

30. I think Tweety's finally waking up and realizing who it is that's watching MSNBC's coverage

Though that's because of Keith and Rachel, not himself.

[Tatiana]

27. Third

OMG, Tweety just said he heard Sen. Larry Craig was gonna do a book tour... followed by that "HA!"

[lyonn]

47. I believe the book tour was to start at the Airport!!

That's the way I got it, the Obama crowd in the background in Minn. was loud. It was too funny....

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

31. He's Tweety, but he is enjoying tonight me thinks...

[tishaLA]

33. and I'm enjoying him too.

he's completely unhinged.

[ErinBerin84]

35. my my

How badly is David Gregory shilling for McCain right now (ok, not Tweety, but same channel)?

[Hart2008]

36. There are some great clips of Tweety here:

http://www.everwonder.com/david/tweety/index.html

Did you know:
"Originally pink, Tweety was changed to yellow, after censors complained."
http://www.everwonder.com/david/tweety/bio.html

[Political Heretic]

37. Despite all those truths, I still like Tweety.

I don't have to agree with someone to like him, or get a kick out of him might be a better way to say it.

I think that the guy is truly just a lover of politics, more than having a particular party agenda. He's a goofball, and it amazes me that he ever became such a well-known media figure, but he's enthusiasm and sometimes his antics entertain me in a pleasing way. :)

[PCIntern]

40. That's good...

as my dad used to say: Opinions Vary. And he also used to say: there's no accounting for taste!!

Enjoy!

:hi:

PC

[Bright Eyes]

39. His laugh is disturbing.

[DangerousRhythm]

41. One of my favorite Tweetyisms:

When talking about the Pennsylvania primary and about how race has been a factor, he called them "cultural conservatives on the ethnic front".

:rofl:

[ErinBerin84]

43. I like how he always prefaces things with "And, this gets very ethnic, but"

Like "And, this gets very ethnic but, it doesn't really surprise people that he's good at basketball."

[DangerousRhythm]

44. Haha!

I've heard him say that too. He's such a trip.

:rofl:

[Laura PourMeADrink]

42. Stop it. Just stop it. I love this man. I bet he played a role in

Obama's victory by cheering for him!

There was a great expose on Mathews in the NYT mag - people that hate him should read it.

[PCIntern]

45. I read it...

there's a lot of Talmudic-style commentary out there on it, particularly in The Daily Howler I think. mixed reviews from the Progressives.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

49. he's totally self-possessed and loves women. I just love his

spirit and he always impresses me with the history this man knows. I felt really bad about how they
were trying to edge him out.

[PCIntern]

52. He's totally self-absorbed and loves men...

particularly W's manliness, swagger, and genitalia padding.
...not to mention thompson's Aqua-Velva'd smell.

Really.

[ErinBerin84]

51. does anyone find it funny when he compliments his colleagues?

I mean, I actually think it's genuine (maybe partly sucking up), but the people on the receiving end just look really awkward about it. Today he said to Andrea "Thank you, Andrea. God, I've been watching you throughout the primary race, and you've just been so great. It's been so great working with you", and she kind of looked uncomfortable and said "Thanks...thank you." And then recently on Hardball, he had panelists on discussing Obama VP prospects (and frankly, I wasn't too impressed with their suggestions. DU would have done a much better job), and he stopped and seemed soooo impressed and said "WOW! This is one of the smartest panels I've EVER had!" Haha.

[PCIntern]

53. sort of like the class moron telling you how bright you are...

no thanks...

[PCIntern]

54. Tweety's back...with Kenya and Capetown stuff

"People will be waking up all over the world to a man of color blah blah blah." Tweety's making history all by himself....feel the tingle.

Tweety was with Bishop Tutu when he could vote! What a trailblazer Tweety is! WOW!

[Tatiana]

55. I don't care what anyone says, I am totally diggin' Tweety tonight. n/t

[Laura PourMeADrink]

56. way to go. a free thinker. finally ! I dig him 2
