What is Your Opinion of Tweety?

[MadBadger]

Tweety is at times hated and loved on DU, so I wanted to test the Tweety waters at our current moment.

Me...I'm a Tweety apologist...I love the guy.

[valerief]

1. I prefer people who are consistently liberal instead of those who blow with the wind. nt

[AlCzervik]

20. his disgusting slobbering over Bush in the bunny suit was the end for me.

he started bashing Bush when his approval ratings went in the toilet---no bravery there.

[valerief]

27. I can't clean his Fred Whatshisname and Old Spice unction out of my head. nt

[AlCzervik]

32. i know. There is no doubt that Chris Matthews is his own porn.

[Captain Hilts]

41. That's funny! He reminds me of pompous jerks in graduate school. nt

[NMDemDist2]

38. yup, you nailed it n/t

[lamp_shade]

2. You can vote in your own poll yannow.

[MadBadger]

5. And I did...

[Pirate Smile]

3. You need a "Love/Hate" option.

[MadBadger]

6. THat's neutral for me....the Love Cancels out the hate.

[Pirate Smile]

43. That's what I voted and why.

Since that other option doesn't exist. :)

[roguevalley]

4. he's an old school dem. I like him.

[rvablue]

29. Really? I myself don't know any "old school Dems" who voted for the Shrub.

Doing so kinda cancels out the "old school."

[roguevalley]

48. he's a dem from the old days, one who loves politics through and

through. doesn't mean he isn't wrong. just means he's a dem from way back when who remembers the same people I do.

[rvablue]

51. I'm sure Al Gore remembers those people, too. Too bad he didn't get Tweety's vote! n/t

[Captain Hilts]

42. Who's a sexist jerk who voted for GWB and LOVED GWB in his flight suit. nt

[csziggy]

7. Tweety gets on my nerves lots of times but when he hits the mark, he's very good

So I end up watching him many evenings. I just wish he would monitor his meds better - I can tell when he's not "right" because he gets so hyper and odd acting.

[Richardo]

8. Dipshit

Worst interviewer ever
Full of himself
Shallow
Horrible
If he's not talking, it's not interesting to Tweety.
Even if he has moments of coolness like today, they are far outweighed by his incompetence and suckitute. If NBC tried, they could not find anyone more unqualified to be on a political show.

So, put me down for 'hate him' I guess. :shrug:

[DesertFlower]

9. i love him too. nt

[AlCzervik]

10. Low.

[AndyA]

11. He slobbers, spits, and interrupts people so they can't answer his questions.

Very annoying and rude for someone who's supposed to dispense information. He likes the sound of his own voice, I think, and that's mostly what you get on his show. :(

[lxlxlxl]

12. You can't "Hate' matthews if you are serious about media criticism

The guy is equally hated by the right and the left. He's not a liberal. I'd rather watch him than David Gregory, any of the Fox people, or Rush Limbaugh any day.

[sandnsea]

13. Love-Hate Co-dependent

I love him but he drives me batty 80% of the time. Why can't I quitya Tweety!!

[Sebastian Doyle]

14. Tweety seems to be a genuine split personality.

It's hard to forget his sickening mancrush on Chimpy, especially in the "Mission Accomplished" days when Matthews was spewing crap like "we're all neocons now" and talking about feeling something in his leg or his pants or whatever it was when that goddamned moronic monkey was on screen.

He's certainly been better in the last several months, but is it genuine, or did he just look at Olbermann's success (and Rachel getting her own show) and decide he wanted to be associated with the Liberals?

[Vinca]

15. I like him one day, hate him the next. nt

[Towlie]

16. I like his politics, but I'd hate to be a victim of his constant interruptions.

[sellitman]

17. I don't hate him but the term "Buffoon" comes to mind.

Hate is reserved for Savage, O,Reilly, Beck and the rest of the talking heads.

I have no respect for Tweety's views because he doesn't actually have any of his own.

He is wherever the wind blows.

[liberal N proud]

18. He is just a stupid idiot

[Towlie]

21. No, he's not that at all. He's quick and knowledgeable about politics and American history.

[lamp_shade]

23. Yea... he amazes me sometimes. I especially admire his passion.

[FrenchieCat]

19. He's got a split personality.

[Stinky The Clown]

22. He consistently pisses me off, but shows occasional reasons to like him

Mostly, he's a name dropping, self-absorbed gasbag.

[rvablue]

31. LOL. This is the perfect description: "name dropping, self-absorbed gasbag."

[trof]

24. I think he's bi-polar or something.

Somwetimes he gets it right (when he agrees with me) and sometimes he gets it terribly wrong (when he doesn't agree with me).
He gets it especially wrong when George Bush makes his leg tremble.
Or was it 'tingle'?
:eyes:

[GentryDixon]

25. I wish he would not talk over his guests.

He asks them a question, then talks over them to give his opinion.:banghead:

[Ichingcarpenter]

26. Sometimes Tweety needs to be put back in his cage

If you let him out too long he becomes too talkative and mischievous.
Tweety is, for the most part, a good-natured character happily spending life in his cage or a nest. However, when a cat or other adversary threatens him, he can become downright malicious and devious, even kicking his enemy when he's down. In many of Tweety's appearances the bird is shown accompanying his owner
General Electric. He's comedy gold sometimes

[rvablue]

33. I'm laughing so hard at your gif.....Hilarious! n/t

[AlinPA]

28. He is a loudmouth slobbering fool.

[H2O Man]

30. I like him.

I do not always agree with his opinion. But he's a good guy. And I appreciate the important role he played in the Plame scandal, even after Rove made a harsh call to him at home, and the OVP was lobbying the heads of NBC to silence him.

[Uzybone]

34. He sucks

One of the worst offenders in the MSM.

I mean he has gotten much better in the last 2 years. But he really declared a fatwa on Democrats for a long time. Some of the false barbs he directed at Gore, Kerry, Hillary, Bill and even the President are painful to remember.

[tularetom]

35. To me, "love" is reserved for family members, close friends, dogs, cats and horses

"Hate" is something I try very hard to avoid.

Tweety doesn't belong to either category. I'd have to say I don't like him very much.

He is to politics what Dick Vitale is to college basketball. A hyperkinetic moron. But without Vitale's dopey charm.

[Frustratedlady]

36. I just wish he'd quit interrupting his guests and let them speak.

Some of his guests get so frustrated and I get frustrated right along with them.

[Kahuna]

37. I've been watching him since his "Equal Time," days when he truly

earned the nickname, Tweety. I've always found him fascinating to watch because he's so unpredictable.

[walkaway]

39. I voted neutral but I just can't ever decide what I think of him.

Sometimes he starts ranting about something really stupid and I can't watch him for weeks. Then he does a great show and I'm sucked in until the next "Tweety" moment.

[Captain Hilts]

40. If he said the shit he has said about women, about race, he'd be off the air. Rightfully so. nt

[MadBadger]

44. It only adds up to 98%...bad rounding by DU?

[MadBadger]

45. Just saw Tweety smack down that twit Issa on the "Democrat Party"

Classic

[chollybocker]

46. Hate the Tweety.

Sthuffrin' Sthucatash!

[Mudoria]

47. Love Matthews' show

Really it's the only one on MSNBC I try to keep current on. I usually watch the weekend show as well.

[Kurovski]

49. I hadn't seen his show for almost four years...

in that time he seems to have become much more thoughtful and measured. he's less Less emotional, and I think that has served him well.

I like him, though he sometimes reminds me of Biden in how he can "mess it up" a bit.

[Raine]

50. I really like him

most of the time but sometimes he annoys the hell out of me cause he's ... :dilemma:

[madokie]

52. I've been all over the place with Mathews over the years

Of late I'm liking what he's been saying about our President. I think I've noticed a change in him since he's been hanging with KO and Rachel some. Just about the time you think you got him figured out he'll say something that'll blow you totally away, that I know.
