I'm almost sick to my stomach over Tweety's show tonight. (Warning...rude-ish).

[Atman]

Could the Ronald Reagan idolatry get any more thick? His show was ostensibly about the republican debate, but it was actually just a video blow job of RR. From Barnacle to who-gives-a-fuck tripping over themselves to suck off RR from the grave, as if he has ANYTHING to do with the debate. Does anyone recall live remotes from the CLINTON library prior to the Dem debate? I know, I know...the repub debate is taking place IN the Reagan library, so it gives them a pretense of an excuse...but from the opening segment, where they showed the massive 100+ acre compound and called it "humble," to the fawning over the old Chasen's booth where Ronnie proposed to Nancy, to Chris Matthews practically coming all over himself with praise for Reagan...WTF?

Prissy Chrissy even went on to name all the great presidential libraries..."The Kennedy library, the Truman Library, the Nixon (????) library...) Of course, the Clinton library wasn't mentioned. Just an oversight, I'm sure; nothing to do with partisan politics. Matthews could barely keep his GOP hard-on under his desk.

This was one of the most loathsome episodes of "Limpball" Tweety's ever hosted. And that's saying a LOT.

Bill Maher was absolutely correct...their love of Reagan borders on gay (not that there's anything wrong with being gay, unless you're trying to use it to divide the country). Must be that "liberal media."

:banghead:

1. I couldn't take it. Had to switch to News Hour on PBS. n/t

[DeepBlueC]

2. It was sickening

I was stunned at the lovefest. And I'm getting a really bad feeling about the cream puffs likely to get lobbed at these bozos by the likes of Tweety.

[jaysunb]

3. This is called a " set-up piece "

you can bet these folks are setting the table to make republicans look good. The whole Reagan association is not by accident. For that matter, the total inflation of Reagan is a con job.

[DeepBlueC]

18. I for one thought he was stupid

The Alzheimers was definitely a factor while he was in office.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

28. I was in the military during part of Reagan's presidency. He was not loved and he had an extremely

corrupt administration.

This deification is a mystery to me. His one redeeming quality was his ability to deliver an oratory with the perfect inflection of emotion. Although, of course, like most Republicans, he never wrote his own speeches. To him, they were scripts, which allowed him to play the Gipper role into perpetuity.

4. I'm glad I don't watch any of this nonsense, except KO of course.

Yeah, KO, Stewart, Colbert.... that's about it. Most of the time anyway.

Except I did watch Hardball a little after seeing that he had some good stuff going on re. the Coward's veto last night while channel surfing.

But as a general rule, I don't watch him or any of the other clowns. No weekend crap either... Russert and all the rest are useless.

[flyarm]

5. why does anyone watch that psycho? run his freaking numbers down!!

don't turn that neo nazi on..or bow tie boy..shut them down!!

i stopped watching that pig when he gave bj's to Arnulllld...and un did a democratically elected governor!

shut the jerk off..

[bagimin]

6. you are absolutely correct sir !

puke inducing

[babylonsister]

7. I heard; asked my DH is this was a prelude to nominating him for sainthood.

It was disgusting.

[rusty_parts2001]

8. LBJ has a pretty nice library in Austin

and he established it as a "free" library unlike the Bush Taj Mahal in College Station.

[Madspirit]

10. LBJ

I'm an Austinite. I like the LBJ library. It is free and it's kind of a neat place to hang. There are several UT Campus museums right there all together....The LBJ Library up past the law school. Then The Museum of Natural History and the Museum of Modern Art, also on UT campus, not far. It's a fun little circular museum journey and easy on foot.

9. It was disgusting!

But what else can repubs talk about? They've robbed, pilfered, and destroyed so much on their disasterous watch. Their candidates suck so what else do they have, but to elevate Reagan to sainthood. Having the debate at the Reagan Library is part of their con job may-be to woo back some of the faithful that jumped ship.

[loudsue]

23. This is absolutely according to Rove's playbook. Rove has Tweety's cell phone #

you can count on it. Remember during the Plame hearings? Rove & Tweety were on the phone that time, too. Rove told Tweety that Plame was "fair game".

Rove IS trying to reel in some of the reagan repukes....that old nostalgic thingy...to try to convince people that this is still the party closest to their hearts.

And you can BET ON IT that the questions will all be softballs. I refuse to watch it, and I hope their ratings for that night SUCK.

:kick:

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

11. it's not about reagan or the debates.. it's about tweety

tweety, tweety, tweety. look at me... i'm at the reagan library. i'm doing the debates. me. me. me.

everything is a prop for tweety.

[Cass]

12. I had it on and had to shut it off.

It was gag-inducing.

I'm not holding my breath for Matthews to hit these guys with too many tough questions Thursday night. And, I kinda thought it weird that they have 2 different moderators for the 2 debates.

Isn't Matthews a big fan of Guiliani? Should be *interesting* to see how he handles him tomorrow night.

[Atman]

13. "Rudy, is that a Vera Wang you're wearing?"

"Stunning! It really sets off your figure...and your fat fucking bald head."

16. ROFL!!

33. Atman: you're killing me......

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[JNelson6563]

14. Atman, why? Why do you punish yourself this way??

I can't stomach that slop and don't have enough self loathing goin' on to force myself to watch it.

Ugh.

Julie

[Atman]

15. I was raised half Protestant and half Catholic

Punishment and guilt are in my blood.

Thank God I'm an atheist now.

[JNelson6563]

17. That explains it!

I was raised Catholic but have managed to curtail my penance urges. heh

I too am fellow godless one. :toast:

20. We check him out only in the last couple of minutes or so before "Countdown."

When he comes out and acts like a man and apologizes for the damned shameless, embarassing, ridiculous gushing of "we're ALL neoCONS now!" on "Mission Accomplished" day four years ago. Why don't you show us your presidential kneepads, tweet? Did georgie autograph 'em for ya?

He is worthless. I know a young lady who interned with his show several years ago while at Georgetown. All she could do is roll her eyeballs when you asked her about him.

[snot]

19. i like your angle; wish someone would do a study:

just surveying the political leanings of persons convicted of criminal sexual offenses, excluding those occurring between consenting adults.

[Blue_In_AK]

21. I had to leave the room...

...and I am one who can usually sit through all of the nonsense. This really bordered on the obscene.

[Horse with no Name]

22. What I noticed

I think that the Democrats were set-up. I mean...why put Bushlicker Brian Williams to ask them questions when Keith would have been a much better moderator?
So they give Democrats lengthy pauses to talk about $400 haircuts, yet cut them off when they have substantive answers about policy, you can bet your shorts that Tweety won't waste time asking them about haircuts, airplanes, lightbulbs, etc...and give them plenty of time to answer their substantive questions instead of bombarding the field with partisan mudslinging.

[symbolman]

24. WHY isn't Keith Olbermann doing the "honors"?

We all KNOW that Tweety is only Piggybacking on the popularity of Olbermann, it's obvious..

And like I said last week, and many disagreed with me, that was NOT a Debate, the questions were front loaded to force ISSUES that SLAMMED Dems.

Will there be a SplashGuard to keep Tweety Spittle OFF the Repigs? :)

You want the TRUTH on Ronald McDonald Reagan? I got it all RIGHT HERE in this FLASH I created when people Finally NOTICED he was DEAD.

http://web.takebackthemedia.com/geeklog/public_html/staticpages/index.php?page=20040618050418549

"Mourning In America"

Turn up those Speakers, and spread the word if RR is being THRUST down your Craw :)

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

26. Great Flash, symbolman. I missed it when you did it during the

"Reagasm" of June, 2004. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:.

I'll definitely spread it around. As for tonight, I'm not even gonna bother watching this dog and pony show. I'll tune in when it's all over just to hear what KO has to say.

[symbolman]

32. Thanks, last Flash I think I've made in a year

but I HAD to cover Raygun when he finally kicked. Poor nancy, or as Ronnie called her, "More Pills, Pill Lady.." Mean, I know, but he was a Bastard..

Yep, I only watch KO for NEWS at this point, all others SUCK, liars, whiners, wierdos..

Reagasm, LOL.. Don't get any ON You! :)

[Ganja Ninja]

25. I saw the promo earlier in the evening on where it was going to be.

I knew then and there what it would turn into. The cult of Reagan is alive! Could anything be more sickening or misplaced then the overblown idolization and worship of such a mediocre President? Reagan wasn't fit to sniff Bill Clinton's jock. Chris Matthews is NBC's biggest tool.

[maine_raptor]

27. I saw that damn show too, and all I can say is

thank God Reagan never wore a flight suit. If he had then Tweety would have had a "Pee Wee Herman" moment right there in the library and live on TV.

:puke:

[spanone]

29. and someday these same fuckers will idolize the bu$h* library...read my lips

[blueworld]

30. They're desperate

Conservative Republicans are desperate for an image that doesn't involve corruption, pedophilia, death, destruction, obstruction, grand juries & resignations. They put all their rotten eggs in the Bush basket and they're now facing the disgust & contempt of their own base.

So they dig up Ronnie & reminisce about the good ol' days & try to pretend that the diaries don't indicate advancing Alzheimer's.

That episode of Oddball was nauseating. I'm surprised they weren't in tears & singing "Auld Lang Syne".

Who'd have thought admiring the Iran Contra crew would be preferable to celebrating "Death with Dick & Dubya"? :puke:

[PA Democrat]

31. Did they move that old Air Force One into place just for the debate?

I was half watching and heard them talking about how they had to move the plane and have supports especially designed to get it into the position they wanted.

It just reminded me of the "Mission Accomplished" photo op. What, they couldn't get a whole frigging' aircraft carrier into the background for the debate, so they had to settle for Air Force One? :eyes:

[blue cat]

34. thank you

for the laugh this am.
