Hatred eating Tweety's brain away

[agent007]

On Friday, Chris Matthews wanted to make the case that Obama's selection of Hil as SOS would be a bad move because Hillary and Obama disagreed on so many issues, and he cited two examples to make his case:

1-) Making the Iran Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization, and
2-) Being against permanent bases in Iraq

But as Media Matters noted yesterday, Matthews is full of it because Obama sponsored legislation to label IRG a terrorist group, and Hillary was against permanent bases in Iraq. Although Obama voted against a bill containing a provision to label the IRG a terrorist organization, he opposed the bill for another totally unrelated reason.

In other words, there is no disagreement between these leaders in regard to those issues.

Now I leave you with one of Matthews' most memorable all-time quotes: "'I hate her. I hate her. All that she stands for.""

1. Tweety has "Mommy Issues"....

He barely contains his disdain for strong, powerful, intelligent women... I know he's been told to contain it, but it seeps out from time to time and probably always will.

2. Or something like the virgin-whore syndrome tearing him apart

The Catholic school thing of putting a faked-up "ideal" image of a non-woman on a pedestal, as opposed to a genuine human. He calls his wife "my queen," but the times she's been on his circus and tried to do her reporting professionally, he and fellow reptile-adolescent BARNICLE were giggling and disrupting throughout her appearance. Instead of treating her like a human equal, he put the impossible "queen" label on her but then proceeded to diss her.

Then there was the opposite end of things, when he literally DROOLED over Britney shedding her duds at the MTV 25th anniversary, and the columnist from Time magazine said, "You're beginning to creep me out," and he replied, "Yeah, well, wait till *you're* 50!1"

5. I think of it as 'female trouble'.

ER: Man, am I ever glad he wasn't around when I was!

3. I've never been able to understand why he hates the Clintons so much!

4. This morning Richard Cohen also pointed out there were no significant differences...

between Obama and Clinton on foreign policy, or any policies for that matter.

What is surprising is that any of this should come as a surprise. All during the primary campaign, the main difference between Obama and Hillary Clinton was supposedly Iraq. This was the issue that propelled him to victory in Iowa, and this was the issue that stoked his supporters to paroxysms of enthusiasm. One candidate was for peace and the other was for the war -- and that was all there was to it.

Not quite. There was always a synaptic gap between Obama's ethereal image and his more grounded reality, and the sneaking suspicion that he and Clinton were not all that far apart on anything -- Iraq included. He conceded as much before the presidential race began. "I think very highly of Hillary," he told New Yorker editor David Remnick in 2006. "The more I get to know her, the more I admire her." In that same interview, Obama even narrowed the gap on Iraq: "I was running for the U.S. Senate, she had to take a vote, and casting votes is always a difficult test." In other words, who knows?

6. Tweety has a brain?

i think he just mindlessly flits from shoulder to shoulder, echoing whatever the latest hipgossip is.

He's just envious of the Clintons. Why are they still so successful while Tweety is still a big fat loser?
