Tweety should be marginalized.
Then they'll can him and get someone else.

1. We should boycott him (I thought that's what we were doing, BTW)

2. We should complain to his sponsors.

3. If that doesn't work, we should boycott his sponsors.

4. We should encourage Democrats to refuse to appear on his show.

5. Pillory him, laugh at him, caricature him, ridicule him mercilessly

6. Dan Rather him

1. he's well on his way...many on the left feel the same way
about him, and Louise Slaughter's statement does carry some weight.

2. I Don't Feel The Need.
Not to mention unless you have a ratings box the boycott won't mean anything. As far as the outrage, I hate when the other side does it and I have no intention of doing it myself. If he's having one of his vile nights (more often than not) I'll just opt to CHANGE THE CHANNEL (It's the new rave! These things they call remote controls. Like, they can make different thingies come on the tv! LOL)

10. 6000000 households watch Wheel of fortune for 1/2 hour
More than the total number of housholds watching FUCKED VIEWS or MSNBC and CNN combined all day and night.

11. You can't "Rather" him because nobody gives a shit
Edited on Fri Feb-03-06 09:33 PM by high density
It's a very lowly rated show watched only by sadists and folks with broken TVs that are forever stuck on MSNBC.

I think there's more bitching about Tweety on this forum at times than about Bush.

13. "Hardball Hotshots" ?! What a laugh
This inane title reminds me of a bravura bowling league in some old-folks home trying to psyche themselves up with an enegetic team name. Kind of like the Shady Acre Aces or the Sunnyvale Snapping Turtles.

20. I can't believe...
he made Craig Crawford say sorry for saying Chertoff looks like skeletor (which by the way he does).

He really forced Crawford to apologize. I couldn't believe that. But let a right wing nut like Tucker Carlson say that John Kerry looks like Lurch and Matthews would giggle and probably agree.
