Tweety was great tonight. I know. It won't last. But it's great while it does.

Tweety was great tonight. I know. It won't last. But it's great while it does.
I have problems with Keith's way to cute demeanor to say nothing of half his show being dedicated to gossip and crap.

Tweety pisses me off because I never know when he's going to salivate over some manly man.

Today was one of his good days. Yeah,he wouldn't let his guest speak but he was PISSED at Bush saying he's going to "replenish the coffers when he leaves office." Tweety thinks that is WAY inappropriate in a time of war and he wouldn't let it go.

He had a clip about Hillary and didn't trash her. (No, she's not my fav but its like saying something bad about a family member. I can do it for my own family but you better not!)

1. We shouldn't call him Tweety
we should call him Sybil.

3. The gossip and crap is to meant undermine his credibility and the impact

of his "real" news, which in turn keeps King George happy.

When his contract was renewed last year, I said that Keith ought to take more more creative control over a big raise.

9. He HAS creative control.
He chooses to do the "gossip and crap" to keep people watching who can be attracted only by using it as a lure.

He's not a purist. That simple.

And he doesn't do "gossip and crap" for a whole half hour.

13. Like it or not, BerryBush is right.
The entertainment factor is what keeps the people coming in for more. Just look at Stephanie Miller and Ed Schultz, their shows are entertaining and they are very popular!

6. Ron Christie should be banned from MSNBC
Notice he is never on Fox noise because he is a big queen.

10. What did calling him a queen accomplish?
For the record, the man is married and has kids. I know that seems unlikely given his general demeanor, but its true.

As to calling him a queen? Why? There's SOOOOOO much else to get him on.

11. Married, Who cares? So is Larry Craig
He is a TYPICAL self hating queen, ReTHUGLICAN...As a gay man I have experienced his kind all to often , actually here is So Florida 25% of these queens voted for Chimpy.

7. With under 10 minutes to go - it's been a more satisfying show than usual
Btw, Ron Christie can eat shit and die.

8. It was great when Tweetie mentioned that Shrub could be mean and he brought up
how Shrub mocked Karla Faye Tucker after her execution.

12. My 19 year old told me she likes watching Keith
and she never watches the news. (Although at 15 she walked by as Wes Clark was speaking on CSPAN and she said, "why don't they elect him?")

I think Keith is looking for a different demographic than traditional all news shows. And it's working in this household.

15. Keith is the best, thank you very much
Tweety is an inside the Beltway whore and has done a great deal of damage to this country. There is absolutely no comparison of him to KO. Most of the second half of KO's show, I find very entertaining. Oddball is a great segment and Worst Person is as well. He usually spends the last 10 minutes talking about Hollywood news. For the most part, he reports far more than any of the others COMBINED.
