Most telling thing about Tweety Matthews tonight is: "Middle America doesn't have Starbucks!"

[KoKo]

His wife can't travel without one... but "Tweety" says that voters will decide on where they have a "Starbucks!"

:rofl: How sick is this?

[TwilightGardener]

1. I guess all those Starbucks in Omaha are just an illuuuuusion! What an assclown.

[rpannier]

6. Obviously Omaha is not Middle America

Middle America must only be towns of 1000 people or less because I think once you have over 1000 people in a town, a mini-mall goes up and ___________ goes in.

1. a dollar store
2. a Starbucks
3. a crappy shoe outlet
4. a fast food place

[Drunken Irishman]

2. Well isn't this the same crap we heard from many DUers in the past week?

Obama only has support among blacks and Starbucks drinking liberals...or so they said.

[Jackpine Radical]

3. Wow. I don't even understand what he's trying to say.

Middle America as in flyover country? There are Starbucks everywhere out here.

[KoKo]

13. His wife can't be 10 minutes away from a Starbucks...so he worries about travellling..

He doesn't know that Starbucks is on every Main St. in America...he is so clueless and seems his wife is.

[KatyaR]

20. Then his wife has a freakin' problem.

Hey, Tweety, here's a clue--grow up, will ya?

:sarcasm:

[Lydia Leftcoast]

44. This is like George Bush Sr. and the supermarket scanner

:P

[NMMNG]

4. Tweety is a moran

As much as I love Starbucks I rarely go there (and they're a dime a dozen around here). I home-brew my coffee and latte most of the time. Who can afford Starbucks on a regular basis?

[SoCalDem]

5. Last week I arrived too early for an appointment, so I went to Starbucks

The ONLY coffee place around.. $4.33 for a half-hotwater/half plain coffee & a slice of some nut bready thing..

I've had better coffee from my "last night's pot" warmed in the microwave..

what a rip off

[Ikonoklast]

7. I have to agree

Here in Ohio it's very difficult to find a Starbucks.


Except for the one on the corner that I frequent.

Oh, and the the one on the way to work.

And the four others that I can think of within ten miles of my front door.

[KoKo]

14. You are EVIL!

:D

[notadmblnd]

30. they were all over the turn pike.. you know those identical rest stops

every few miles?

[islandmkl]

8. yeah, Tweety...Middle America is just a bunch of hicks

....like Warren Buffett

[AngryAmish]

9. Rapid City, SD has a Starbucks

idiot

[Jackpine Radical]

21. Ever wonder why they don't all it Slow City?

[AngryAmish]

29. 'cause it is near rapids?

I think it is beautiful out there.

[Jackpine Radical]

36. The Black Hills are a truly wonderful place.

And since I live near a town called Chippewa Falls, I kinda suspected how Rapid City got its name. Nevertheless, I personally find the idea of "Slow City" much more attractive. But that's just the way my nervous system is wired.

[AngryAmish]

38. A lot of Chippewas fall down there?

Is it very icy?

[Jackpine Radical]

40. "Course it's icy here.

And we all got a drinking problem, not just the Chippewa. I think it was kinda racist to single them out in the name.

[OHdem10]

10. Tweety made me Irate when he i nsinuated to Pat Buchanan

that the older voters (HRC supporters) do not support Obama because
he is black. That is a baldfaced lie. Older people question Barak's
experience (lack thereof). They see the country facing horrific
problems ahead and Barak appears totally oblivious to what faces
him in the Preisidency. Furthermore, MSNBC has pushed Obama and
did everything they could to destroy Hilary and this makes many
HRC supporters angry.

[KoKo]

17. Well Pat Buchanan and Tweety went over this AGAIN tonight..

on their early broadcast...and, I had the same reaction as you did.

:puke: BTW...I'm "undecided between Obama and Hillary...so I'm monitoring everything..and thought it was hokey. Because there's a good case to be made for Hillary...and a Good case for Obama.

I have to say that Vandenhueval's thing about the "Nation" (very liberal) endorsing Obama was because we Dem Activists have a good chance of "running him" for our issues was very interesting.

OTOH... I was proud that Hillary went agains MSNBC/MATTHEWS over that Sexist thing about calling Chelsea a Whore because "Bill and Hillary maybe pimping her."

I'm on the fence...but we need to "call it as we see it." :shrug:

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

11. Here in the far west Chicago burbs we have:

1) A standalone starbucks
2) A starbucks in the Dominick's grocery store
3) A starbucks in the Meijer grocery store

These three locations are each 1 block apart. So that's 3 starbucks in a 2 block radius.

But yeah, no starbucks in middle america. :eyes:

[Johonny]

12. quick find a starbucks

http://www.starbucks.com/Retail/Find/LocatorResults.aspx?fs=1&loc=USA

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

15. Tweety has a wife?

Poor woman.

[KoKo]

18. Yeah... a cool DC TV Reporter...then she resigned a year or so ago.. to work for Marriott Hotels..

It's amazing that his wife working NOW for Marriott Hotels doesn't know that STARBUCKS is EVERYWHERE...

He's really a "Piece of Work"...and becomes comical ...when one thinks of the "Tweety/Sylvester" cartoons.

We pegged him the way he is..."TWEETY ...RIGHT...TWEETY..."I thot I saw a puddy cat!" and it was "those Lefties hiding under their "blankies" that JUST DON'T SEE IT!

Sardonic laughter: :rofl:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

19. Accidentally found this:

[KoKo]

23. Tweety....Hung over from a Repug Fest?

[verges]

31. oh my.

how...yellow.

[Earth_First]

41. DUNKIN' DONUTS!?

My my. Which third-world country was Tweety in when he was forced to drink Dunkin' Donuts coffee?

Nebraska?

[Beausoleil]

45. Dunkin' Donuts coffee! n/t

[juno jones]

16. Only good thing about Starbucks

is the fact that it has saturated middle america. God knows, I used to dread visits back to folks in the midwest and that thin bitter stuff that used to pass for coffee there. Good lord, Lattes in Peoria, whoda thunk it?

[KoKo]

24. Starbucks is soooo Overbuilt they just announced Store Closings on CNBC...

I guess Tweet and his Wife don't get out too much these days...:-(

[Fleshdancer]

22. Hold on a minute. Rewind.

Someone is married to Tweety? Really? Wow.

[KoKo]

25. She probably pays for the "Family." Fist DC Cable Affiliate now Marriott Hotels?

...and she travels as PR Person for Marriott and doesn't know that STARBUCKS is EVERYWHERE? :eyes:

[ellie]

26. Here in the provinces,

we have five free-standing Starbucks, plus several in other businesses like Kroger's, Barnes & Noble, and Macy's. This is Toledo, OH. Hardly a cosmopolitan city. Tweety is an asshole.

On edit: Thanks to whoever gave me a heart! That was really sweet!

[KoKo]

27. Even those "fly over states" probably have a Starbucks every 20 miles or so...plus

Barnes & Noble, Kroger and Macy's.

Tweety and his wife need to get out there in Middle America/Fly Over and the South a little more often.

They also miss the "Nail Salon's, Chinese Chop Shopes, Curves, Spint Stores, UPS, Hallmark Cards, Quick Cuts, Home Depot and WalMart.

I think his wife and he only shop at GUCCI/COACH/and whatever Male Designer is the "THING" in DC Boutiques!

[knitter4democracy]

28. We're in a small Michigan city, and we have two.

They suck, btw. We have a great locally owned coffeeshop and a great locally-owned chain drive through coffee place with much, much better coffee and such. The drive-through, Cuppy's, has awesome smoothies, and they give out dog biscuits to all the dogs. Freebies, too. I don't go to the Starbuckses in town.

Poor thing. She must not know what good coffee is.

[bullwinkle428]

32. There are SEVEN locations in Cedar Rapids, Iowa!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

God, he's such an ignorant jackass!!!!

[Initech]

33. He obviously hasnt been to downtown Denver.

I swear to the highest of high gods that there is a Starbucks on every fucking street corner in that town.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

34. Out here in flyover country we have Starbucks about every other block.

Including the cafeteria at my work. Tweety could come visit me at my job and I could take him to the cafeteria and buy him a Starbucks. That's way out here in the godforsaken Midwest.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

35. In Houston we have two that are right across the street from each other!!!

For Jeebus-in-a-Coffee-Cup's Sakes!!

Right on the Corner of Shepherd and West Gray in the River Oaks Shopping Center, the oldest strip center in the country (1940s). One on the NE Corner, one on the SE corner.

[Goblinmonger]

37. Tweety's wife has shitty taste in coffee

and needs to visit a real barista. And Tweety needs to get a clue.

[Joyce78]

39. Why would anyone listen to MSNBC??

[NC_Nurse]

42. Well, first, he's WRONG. Second, how stupid.

Sheesh! What a dolt!

[Neecy]

43. I heard that, too, and almost heaved

Gee, my little corner of Kansas has at least 5 Starbucks locations I could name off the top of my head, and another outlet in a local grocery store.

Get out of DC much, Tweets?

And yes, Starbucks sucks. We just got a Caribou Coffee franchise here and it's become my new favorite. :)
