1. Tweety Bird's mind: unfathomable?

Harper Lee would be appalled. Good god, what could be a better example of the mindless stupidity of beltway whores.

2. Matthews has the freedom to be stupid. Don't take that away from him.

This statement of his shouldn't be a worry at all, since most of Bush's base have no idea who Atticus Finch is. (They don't read, remember?) And most that get the reference will know how idiotic it is.

Why should anyone worry about THIS particular incident, whereas hundreds of other Matthews' bias incidents go unchallenged (or challenged to a lesser degree)? Also remember than nobody watches Matthews' show.

3. W, like Atticus, is a fictional character with no actual BRAIN.

5. Atticus was all about the underdog, the rule of law and justice

you couldn't FIND a greater antithesis to Atticus Finch than George W. Bush. Chris Matthews is a living, breathing, illiterate ignoramus and I personally doubt that he ever read the book or saw the movie.

6. I emailed him yesterday

and asked him what planet or alternate reality he was living in.

10. Bush = Bob Ewell is more like it.

Bob Ewell = abusive drunk = George Bush. There it is.
