Tweety on now: "I was a stupid fucking dumbass!"

[Atman]

OMFG! I can't believe I'm hearing this. Tweets is trying to claim "I didn't know there was a conflict between Sunnis and Shiites! I didn't know there'd be all these problems!" He's trying to claim Bush fooled everybody, including him.

:wtf:

.

[Richardo]

1. Note to Tweety: "What do you mean, 'was'?"

:eyes:

[Mandate My Ass]

15. That's a Duzy right there

:rofl:

[DavidDvorkin]

2. Bush probably did fool him.

And he probably didn't know about Sunnis and Shiites.

But neither is an excuse. In his position, he should have been informed, or made himself informed, and he shouldn't have been gullible.

[Tesla]

10. Yeah right!!!

ANYONE that studied Iraq enough to know that they weren't co-operating with the inspectors, and they had weapons of mass destruction, AND they had tubes that they could build Atom bombs with, didn't know there was a problem with the 2 warring classes in Iraq AFTER the Russians warred with Iraq just a few years back??

Do they think we are all that stupid????


Don't these people in the news read what I read on the net and see on the news??

[Tom Joad]

13. His true calling was to be a shoe salesman in Brooklyn. If he had followed that

he would have had no need for such knowledge of the world.

[Straight Shooter]

3. Poor Tweety. Blinded by bush's "sunny nobility."

:eyes:

[fooj]

4. Of COURSE HE WAS FOOLED!

He couldn't take his EYES off Shrub's "codpiece".:hi:

[11 Bravo]

5. When Bush whipped out his "sunny nobility", Tweety got in touch with his inner fluffer.

[Bombtrack]

6. In his defense, wasn't he pretty much always agains the war?

Give him credit where credits due. Maybe he's saying he wasn't against it ENOUGH or something. Either way, I don't see much attacking him over this.

[ray of light]

8. he was against the war? Um..I don't think so.

[Bombtrack]

19. I do, and I'd put plenty of money on it

[Atman]

12. Wha-wha-whaaat?

Tweety was "against the war?" He might have claimed to have been against it, but he was one of the most ardent cheerleaders FOR it. No excuse for Tweets. NONE. If he's going to be on a so-called "news" channel, he has to have at least a pedestrian knowledge of the world situation. 80% of DUers knew what Tweety says caught him by surprise. BULLSHIT. Tweety is ass-covering. Nothing more, nothing less.

[KharmaTrain]

16. Look At Who He Gave Voice To

He let this regime's mouthpieces come on night after night...drooling over Tom DeLay or Annie Coultergiest or The G Man or 30 Grit O'Bierne...to cheerlead for this war for profit. He talks one way and walks another...and it's the deeds that we now see, not his past thoughts.

[BlueStater]

17. I'll never forget him drooling over the Chimp after that photo-op

Nor will I forget him expecting us to give credit to the little monkey for admitting his "bring it on" challenge to the insurgents. It only took him THREE FREAKIN' YEARS to do it.

[RamboLiberal]

29. He should apologize for that as well

COULTER: It's stunning. It's amazing. I think it's huge. I mean, he's landing on a boat at 150 miles per hour. It's tremendous. It's hard to imagine any Democrat being able to do that. And it doesn't matter if Democrats try to ridicule it. It's stunning, and it speaks for itself.

MATTHEWS: Pat Caddell, the president's performance tonight on television, his arrival on ship?

CADDELL: Well, first of all, Chris, the -- I think that -- you know, I was -- when I first heard about it, I was kind of annoyed. It sounded like the kind of PR stunt that Bill Clinton would pull. But and then I saw it. And you know, there's a real -- there's a real affection between him and the troops.

<...>

MATTHEWS: The president there -- look at this guy! We're watching him. He looks like he flew the plane. He only flew it as a passenger, but he's flown --

CADDELL: He looks like a fighter pilot.

[Cameron27]

37. Oh god yes, I was watching him that day.

he was like a drippy love-smitten teenager.

[NNN0LHI]

33. Tweets was for the war before he was against it

Up to Bush's Mission Accomplished moment Tweety was just about orgasmic over the war and Bush. That is the way the transcripts read.

Don

[mnhtnbb]

7. He didn't know because talking heads aren't required to be journalists.

[Mandate My Ass]

9. Resign then,

asshole.

These mea culpas without accountability or consequences are getting old, like the "mission accomplished" charade four years ago.

Everybody who was fooled needs to lose his/her job ASAP!

It's a matter of national security.

[gratuitous]

11. The question remains, Mr. Mathews

What are you going to do about it? Now that you know you were lied to and played for a sucker, what do you intend to do about it? Will you now evince some skepticism over a White House announcement that fits in too nicely by half with their message of the day (such as, I dunno, the breathless announcement that the #2 man in Al Qaeda was killed in a raid)? Will you challenge self-serving talking points? Will you stop having uncredited apologists for these liars on your show? Or, if you feel you must have them on your show, at the very least inform your audience of a guest's ties to the administration?

Or is this like going to Confession for a lot of Catholics? Go, confess, do the penance, then resume doing exactly what you were doing before and repeat the process next month?

[SammyWinstonJack]

14. "Fool me once...ah..can't get fooled again."

:silly: :dunce: :spank: So he and george are simpatico with regard to not knowing about the conflicts between the Sunnis and Shiites? Maybe he should have used the internets and the google :silly: Congrats, Tweety! :rofl: You've aligned yourself with an idiot! What does that say about you? :evilgrin:

[malaise]

18. Is Tweety a fugging journalist?

No excuses will be accepted. Fugg off Tweety. You still spew their bullshit.

[SammyWinstonJack]

20. I believe his official title is corporate news whore. nt

[malaise]

23. Are you listening to him now

Same old bullshit towing Bushco's line.

[SammyWinstonJack]

24. I don't watch him, but I can only imagine. He has no shame.

[Atman]

21. This is one of the most amazing Tweety episodes I've ever seen.

He's denying his entire past, his whole reason d'etre. But still, he asks -- ney, TELLS -- his guests, "Won't this ultimately help Bush in the long run?" It's totally surreal!

.

[SammyWinstonJack]

27. Gawd! How sickening! Pick a side Tweety! You can't have it both ways, or can you?

[WilliamPitt]

22. I knew.

And I'm not on fucking television.

Cry me a river, you fucking fraud. Disgraceful.

[trumad]

26. I knew because you knew and you told me.

I know the above sentence might be complicated for a Pats fan, but I think you get my drift. ;-)

[WilliamPitt]

30. Get your draft?

Sorry, no.

Gill?

It is to laugh.

:P

[trumad]

32. You'll laugh when he runs by your aging team.

but then again you may not see that because you'll be focused on the sideline watching Brady and Moss go at it.

[WilliamPitt]

38. He'll run and run and run and run...

...and will finally stop after realizing that the crippled loser behind center can't hit water from the pier.

Hee. Football. :)

[trumad]

39. It's all good Mr. Pitt---it's all good.

[VelmaD]

34. I used you the other day...

as THE example in a screaming tirade. My basic point was if an English teacher from Boston could find out the truth just by, oh, I don't know, asking an actual expert and then writing down the answers...then no one had an excuse for not knowing.

[musette_sf]

25. i posted to the thread about Blackwell on Hardball

and was just about to opine that Tweety was gonna say something for which he needed a Wingnut Among Wingnuts on the show, in order to have someone/anyone on the show that would make even him appear somewhat centrist.

so not surprised at this BS mea culpa. he had Blackwell on today so there would be someone even HE would look good next to.

[Swamp Rat]

28. LOL!

'moran' :eyes:

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

31. Odd Though. With As Far Up *'s Ass Tweety's Head Was You'd Think He'd Be The First To Smell The

bullshit he was layin...

Guess the first steaming pile burnt out his receptors.

[libnnc]

35. He was distracted by the codpiece

and dickhead's "sunny nobility".

Codpiece trumps shit apparently.

[Atman]

36. Dont' worry, Pat Buchanan and the Republicans are telling Dems what to do

Yup...it's hysterical. Pat knows what the Democrats need to do...just give Bush everything he wants. Once the Democrats do that, everything will be fine.

:crazy:

.

[B Calm]

40. Sorry Tweety, but you'll go down in history as one who sold this war.

I got to stop calling it a war and call it what it really is, an ILLEGAL INVASION!
