E-Mail I just sent to Tweety

[WI_DEM]

Chris Matthews:

I'm appalled that you attack a Nobel Peace Prize winner like Jimmy Carter but you and others in the "liberal" media continue to ignore the current president who lied to get this country involved in a war. He lied when he said in 2004 that he used the proper channels to initiate wiretaps. When that lie was revealed he admitted he broke the law, but said he as president (King?) has every right to do so. I believe you said he was "noble." This president has a long list of fibs, half-truth and out-right lies behind him and suffers from serious credibility problems. I remember how relentless you and the rest of the "liberal" media was in persuing Bill Clinton and repeating every rumor which was spread about him. It is interesting that you and the others of your ilk don't demonstrate the same standard regarding the current occupant of the White House. His lies have done more harm than Bill Clinton's private sexual dalliances ever did. The Bush lies have led to over 2,600 American deaths in Iraq, over 16,000 Americans maimed--many amputees-- and countless thousands of Iraqi men, women and children dead and maimed for life. Don't they deserve the same sense of outrage that you and others like you showed over a soiled black cocktail dress?

Signed

1. Chris Matthews attacked Jimmy Carter?

What did he say?

[WI_DEM]

2. about attacking King George II at the King Funeral

[JohnnyRingo]

18. He also said it was very wrong to snub Buxh on his way from the podium

He thought he owed Buxh a handshake.

I say only if Carter was openly scratching his nuts just before....And that wouldn't have been polite at a funeral.

[mod mom]

3. Disgusting, he called it political theater. Consider the source!

He obviously got rove's talking points.

[gratuitous]

19. I knew it!

Here comes the fake outrage. Imagine making a funeral a political statement, unlike the weeklong stage-managed Hollywood hagiography that accompanied Reagan's death. The talking points will be that Democrats have no sense of decorum; a memorial service isn't the time or the place for a political rally; celebrating a person's life when that person did her level best to counter the incipient fascism of the repressive right shouldn't be so gauche as to mention . . . the incipient fascism of the repressive right.

Tweety's right on schedule.

4. Wonderful letter

I missed the segment you are referring to however, I will watch the repeat and will send in my own letter.

[Virginian]

5. Pssst --- It was a blue dress.

Other than that it is a good letter.
Tweety was on the air today putting meanings to Clinton's words that Big Dawg couldn't say because of all the applause. Clinton said it was an honor to be there with present and past Presidents and with his wife. Tweety didn't mention that Babs didn't show. It could have been a hit at Babs for not attending.

9. oops, sorry.

Oh well, he got the point.

[49jim]

6. I watched some of Tweety

during the King funeral....he gave Bush credit for sitting there and taking the critisism (sp).....always looking for a way to put a positive spin on what bush does.

[bluerum]

7. "tweety" is a wind sucking blowhard. eom.

[Eric J in MN]

8. Chris Matthews said Bush sometimes has "sunny nobility."

nt

[seabeyond]

10. no one had a problem making reagans funeral repug political

adn the dems taht were there were expected to suck it up in grace. sheeiit they even dissed the son of the dead man, ad no one said anything about the repugs being classless.

[benddem]

11. great letter

wonder if he'll get it.

[WI_DEM]

12. probably not

but I feel better having written it.

[ClayZ]

13. Kick ....

:kick:

[otohara]

14. If Bush Weren't Such A HORRIBLE *

then this stuff wouldn't happen, now would it?

[immoderate]

15. Chris, what was Bush doing at this funeral?

Was he such a great supporter and friend of the Kings? Or could his presence, perhaps, be for political points? Remember, he won't attend funerals for KIAs in his own goddam war.

Whatta scumbag! (Who, Bush or Matthews?) Answer: Heh heh.

--IMM

[Jeanette in FL]

16. And remember that crude remark * made

when he was given a portrait of Dr. King. Said something to effect "Can't wait to hang this".

[immoderate]

17. Sorry. That made me laugh.

Bush is such a dim bulb. The only time he's funny is when he's serious.

20. if you write to him, it just encourages him

Better to turn him off and not respond. MSNBC's ratings are so low that he does minimal damage--just preaches to the choir. Trying to muscle in and get some ratings between Blitzer and FNC.

[JudyM]

21. I like your letter. It seems rational enough that he might read it.

Next step is to make argument that * is leading the most corrupt administration in history and that the concept of "conflict of interest" seems to be irrelevant to all of them.
Kudos.
