O.K., part of this has been rumbling around for a couple of weeks now. How Tweety "moderated" a so-called debate of the Rethugs and did it piss-poor unprofessionally. He indulged his various man-crushes, asked ridiculously silly questions that were not even rhetorical questions, something like, Could-there-be-anything-worse-than-getting-the-CLINTONS-back-in-the-WH? He was just plainly trying to do what he always does, trying to be one of the boys.
Nobody has ever heard me say anything positive about Faux. I *do* monitor O'LOOFAH and parts of HUME, but the rest is unwatchable (Faux & Friends) and insufferable.
So, yet, I will say this, that a week or two later when HUME and Chris WALLACE ran another Rethug debate, they did a bang-up, professional job, asking tough questions, following up, and even pinning the Thugs down when they didn't answer questions, and above all, behaving soberly and no-nonsense. So there.
So tonight Tweety did a minute on the Miss USA incident in Mexico City. There was a clip of her falling down, then of the crowd in that world-cosmopolitan city being RUDE and booing her. Now, other accounts say it wasn't clear whether they were booing her as the representative of the USA or whether they were booing because she was slotted into the top 4 (or 5?) after having fallen down.
So Tweety first did his pseudo knight-in-shining-armor thingy, like when he calls his wife "Kathleen, my queen," after making fun of her like a schoolboy with Mike BARNICLE, and barked to his staff that they should stop running the clip of the fall, that whoever was doing it "probably doesn't like women." Bravo, Tweets. Seems like YOU don't, much of the time. And Tweety leered for the clip of Britney stripping down to nothing back at the MTV anniversary four or give years ago.
So then Tweety said (paraphrasing), "Mexico has (gall?) to be acting this way towards us when we're about to pass a immigration law that is about to benefit them."
Yes, over in Fauxland, HANNITY said something along the same lines. So another reason among all the ones we have sorted through over the years about why Tweety is so attracted to Shrub now might have emerged: Basing policy decisions on whims, capriciousness, and personal grudges.
