Matthews on Imus now .....

[H2O Man]

discussing Cheney and Bush.

[Catchawave]

1. Thanks....

MSNBC's had hockey all week, this is a nice surprise! They took Imus off the radio locally :(

[H2O Man]

2. Matthews said

he is planning to continue reporting on this. He will do his Sunday show on the differences between the president and vice president. He is focused on several important issues, including Cheney's lack of reporting to Bush, as well as the alcohol factor. Pat Buchanan told him that those Texas hunting parties tend to be alcohol-fueled.

6. alcohol, women and guns

sounds like a scandal had the veep been a Democrat. I hope Chris follows through.

7. thanks for the update - any word on when Tweety's show will be on

Sunday, 5 and 7pm???:popcorn:

[npincus]

14. Status of Tweety boycot? It sounds like folks here are watching again.

I never stopped- I watch when I can though I sometimes I hurl objects at my TV.

[H2O Man]

16. I didn't take

the boycott seriously. People do not get a choice of leaving this world alive, but they do have the choice of leaving ignorant or informed.

[CatWoman]

21. ooo *SNAP*!!!

I'm just surprised you tuned into Imus.

You don't seem to be that type :hi:

[stop the bleeding]

3. I have to head out to work will be on the puter again in an hour, if

anything important is said could you all update the thread so I can check it when I get to work?


Thank you in advance!:toast:

4. Imus just said

"follow the liquor." Matthews said he knows Cheney watches his Sunday show. He is going after the VP for running his own government.

5. He is going after the VP for running his own government.

8. Also, "Follow the Budweiser" (my fav). Did you hear Imus

say that Richard Santuilli (sp?) head of the Fallen Heroes Fund for the center in San Antonio said he approached Halliburton for a donation and they turned him down (didn't their profits grow 400%+ since the war started)

[H2O Man]

9. Imus usually

points out that Halliburton refuses to support the FHF at least once per day.

[txindy]

10. FHF?

:shrug: I'm acronym-challenged this morning. Help, please.

[Kingshakabobo]

12. "Fallen Heroes Fund" IMUS has been fund raising for them.

It's for a treatment center for wounded vets.....10 million is needed.

[txindy]

13. Ah, gotcha. I never would've guessed that one.

Thanks for the help. :hi:

[Catchawave]

11. Yes, they repeat this little tidbit many times !

Also, GE turned them down.

I started a thread awhile back asking why we have to hold a bake sale for the troops:

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. bake sale. I laughed out loud. Then I wanted to cry n/t

[Punkingal]

15. Tweety doesn't like Cheney....

He was really all over the Scooter Libby thing, too. I hope he does stay on this.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. Yes, we have a love hate relationship with Tweety. He does

dwell on some good stuff sometimes. One good thing I heard him say is that his ratings were way up.

[Norquist Nemesis]

19. He's getting a level of disdain for Cheney almost equal to

the hate he has for the Clintons.

Personally, I'd like to see him help to his "I Promise.." promo that he does for his show. We'll see.

[H2O Man]

20. I think it is

important to view Chris in the context of his relationship to Tip O'Neill. And that is difficult, especially for the younger folks on DU who are not familiar with Tip's style and influence.
