Tweety's new segment: Cosby, Scarborough & Tucker
How pathetic is that new Friday segment MSNBC has dredged up for Tweety? It's called "Hardball Hotshots" and has Throaty, Squinty and Tucker riffing on the topic du jour. All right-wingers with a collective IQ of little merit.

If Tweety had any sense of shame at all, he would have refused this cheap ploy, this Foxing of his program.

1. MSNBC is doing that because Cosby, Tucker, and Scarborough will no
longer have their shows on Friday — replaced by documentaries which have been proven to be ratings grabbers previously on the weekends.

2. I was prisoned-out by those "documentaries" last night. It will be...

4. Well At Least 3 Assholes Have Been Canceled
even if it's only for one day out of the week. Upside - ratings for show with 4 hacks will be watched by hardly anyone.

7. Not so sure they've been canceled.
Rick Kaplan gave some kind of crap explanation about how MSNBC was hoping to "build its audience before the Olympics" or some such garbage. They may be back either during the Games or after they are over.

5. And you just know it's fair and balanced.
I emailed them and told them I was changing the dial. This is the worse news a television show can get. They don't REALLY care about politics, they care about selling ads. Period. Hit 'em where it hurts.

8. Don't touch Keith
He is the only reason I watch MSNBC. I have lost interest in the others. They others have used up my attention span.

12. Didn't touch Keith. Have yet to see him in a a bow tie.
Referring to Carlson, who always looks like his elderly aunt dressed him. No mother would do that to her own son ;)

10. Pathetic in a way that CANNOT BE MEASURED.
WAY past "God Awful."

I'm not sure if it's as much "Foxing" as an attempt to emulate CNN's "Crossfire" with a Fox slant.

Whatever the case may be, it was incredibly painful to watch. I only saw the last ten minutes of it because I was waiting for Olbermann, but I keep waiting for the skin on Rita Cosby's face to peel back so I can know once and for all if she's Kodos or Kang. There's SOMETHING underneath that bleached blonde outer shell that IS...NOT...HUMAN.

11. I was shocked by this segement. Tweety has his ups and downs, but this
once and for all shows that he is nothing but a Republican hack. Very disappointing. The fact that they have all three been cancelled should show somebody something - nobody wants to hear that type garbage. If they do, they watch Fox.
