Is anyone seeing Tweety melting down on Leno? He's calling out

[Neshanic]

everyone and the whole gang. It's like there is this other Tweety that tells the truth. Somebody please get this on a clip.

He's almost in total full rant meltdown. The audience is still.

1. I saw part of it.

What I saw on his comments on candidates was actually pretty accurate. Was his meltdown before that?

[Neshanic]

2. Yes, all about the war, how it is a catastrophe, the lies, it all came so fast, I was amazed.

[barb162]

5. Well, good for him!

I bet the Tonight Show audience was stunned.

3. He's telling the truth tonight? Do tell! I missed him. But I have noticed

most people, when not married to their shows (Matthews) or schtick (Buchanan), seem to be a lot more truthful.

6. I just hope somone got it to post. Unbelievable.

Personally, I think ShortnFiery and Swamp Rat pegged it.

7. Sorry, I did not look. I was flabberghasted. Thanks

8. No, I wasn't calling dupe

I was just pointing it out so you don't think you hallucinated it. It was like we were watching the anti-Tweety or something. :P

[Neshanic]

10. Really, I was almost expecting "Spiderpig" on my balcony.

9. You know what? He's sort of always in meltdown the way he

interrupts his guests on his own show. There were only two people, maybe, he didn't interrupt. I think he was in awe of them.

11. I don't know how you guys watch EITHER of them. n/t

12. That was the late night Tweety

He realizes that the repukes are either sleeping or playing in their favorite bordello during this time slot. The regular Tweety will be back tomorrow.

13. That weenie is just trying to get on Larry Flynt's good side.

:evilgrin:

[tabasco]

14. He is attempting to maintain a veneer of credibility.

A very transparent veneer. Tweety sucks.

15. Tweety Is Complex And Is Full Of Contradictions

But he has always opposed this war...

18. "always opposed this war" - I'll shoot this myth down every single time it's repeated

Yes, he tailors his spiel to whatever audience he's pander-bearing (his coinage) to. Yes, his defunct column was more Lib, while his cable circus caters to the older, richer, more wingnut audience (although I think WE are the only audience).

But as for opposing the Iraq Attack: He has kissed Shrub's ass for 7 years (counting Campaign 2000) in whatEVER area, including the Attack. He participated in the media bandwagon FOR the Attack. He personally performed the PUBLIC EXECUTION of Phil DONAHUE, who was the ONLY anti-Attack presence on MSRNC or just about ALL media.

People who became fans of the Old Tweety, circa 1988 when "Hardball" the book came out, see him as Tip O'NEILL's and CARTER's operative, but he long ago abandoned that persona. He HAS no core principles anymore. Old fans frequently claim that THE REASON he was "against the war" was because he has draft-age sons. Phooey!!1 Here's a look back at the DONAHUE assassination:



How Tweety "Executed" DONAHUE on MSNBC. Tweety was on his book tour for another one of his "books" (large type, wide spaces between lines, blank half-pages). It was in the jingoistic hysteria in the run-up to the illegal Iraq attack. The book was about supposed "Americanism" --an American Civ 101 ripoff about books and movies and cultural stuff that are essentially American (think, "The Great Gatsby"). So Phil welcomed him as a colleague and peer on Phil's show for the full hour to plug the book. From the moment he appeared, there was a strange, deadly snake look in Tweety's snake eyes. Phil was walking around, apparently not sensing anything, while Tweety was motionless, following him only with his eyes. Phil brought up something or other questioning blind jingoism, and Tweety STRUCK! He started out with venom dripping, "You see THIS is EXACTLY what's wrong with you Liberals: You are NEGATIVE about this country, you find NOTHING good about it," and on and on. It took awhile before Phil figured out what was happening. Later, Phil was sitting at the table with Tweety and, weaker and weaker, did some of his trademark shoulder shrugging and arm waving. Tweety delivered the coup de grace, "What's THIS (mimicking the movements)??!! What's with the --APE-- movements???" Days or a week or two later, Phil's cancellation was announced and took effect.

16. Tweety--- One minute he's ranting about the war--the next he's calling Judy Miller a hero.

And of course Judy was one of the main players who helped get us in the war.
