Thrid?
OMG I found someone more hypocritical about immigration than Michelle Malkin!
millionth?
Tweety makes shit UP? Hahahahahahaha.
Another new thread? Already?
Make up with us?
Fuggedaboutit.
"The real question is if this is what he really thinks why do we so rarely hear it?"
Because the Rethug love, Demo love back and forth makes people from both sides watch him.
how does a clever lad like Atrios fail to see this?
Max Cleland and the Fighting Dems are on c-span2.
Oorah!

Oh, at the last cocktail party, she probably spilled an apple martini on his favorite tie.
because he's mentally unstable?
because GE is fuckassed paymaster?
because if i made his money i'd be try'n to hang onto it.
now, i'll go read the link.
If this clown thinks he can get forgivness for his serial wankeries by beating up on a book touting flak with ammo that should have been turned on the principles, he can go back to playing Haw Baw with that coot Imus.
We need to see a pattern of good behavior. Not a one time deviation from wankery.

I'm kinda used to Tweety being a weathervane, though.
what if george bush or darth the dick would have been on?

I think on this one maybe he saw Stewart dismantle her, and figured this was his chance to really look like a badass.
Bush presidency: FIERY WRECK!
Tweety: TRY HARDER!
atrios, i had little opportunity to blog the past two days on the whole
Nobody has compared Cheney's recorded support of Apartheid as the main reason he skipped MLK's funeral.
It really bears emphasis. The man who runs Bush's White House was an apartheid profiteer.

THIS IS NOT A DEVIATION FROM HIS VERY WELL-ESTABLISHED BEHAVIOR

RESPECT POWER
NOTHING ELSE
THIS IS NOTHING NEW, IT IS NOT AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE NICE, IT IS MORE REASON TO HATE HIM
Also, it's very likely he was desperate about being possibly showed up by Jon Stewart.

Nice work, phinky.
Nobody has compared Cheney's recorded support of Apartheid as the main reason he skipped MLK's funeral.
You sure it wasn't because Viceroy HAL opposed the establishment of a holiday in honor of MLK Jr.?
The real question is if this is what he really thinks why do we so rarely hear it?
Because Matthews rarely invites guests who inspire neither jealousy nor fear in him. So Matthews was at liberty to tear her apart.
As to whether Matthew has consistent beliefs about the occupation of Iraq -- who knows, who cares?
Fuck Tweety. Fuck Tweety.
Arrrrgh.
That fucker is heavy.
Heh. Mine too. Must be some kinda vibration-reduction thing.
I have some new posts up at my blog.
When did you get a blog?
Tweety has no core values--oh, he has a sort of allegiance to "Catholicim", but he probably doesn't really practice it. It's all about his personal feelings. he hates Bill Clinton because Clinton makes him feel like a failure, he loves Bush because it gives him an opportunity to feel superior to the POTUS and maybe that means he isn't a failure, he just chose a different path.
Shit, he really laid into her. She looked positively flummoxed.
And downright pissed at the end. What's up with this guy? He starts off so chummy and then goes all reality-based on her.
They're treating me with brains doused in antibiotics. Twice a day.

I don't know what "Catholicim" is either.
that was pretty funny. i liked it when he asked her about the cartoon thing and he let her ramble on for a while about nothing, then just changed the subject. didn't even acknowledge her answer.
I wonder if Zell Miller will be pissy about this the way he was about Magalang's appearance on Tweet's shitty show.
We did already cover this. We posted two commments to this effect already and it really shouldn't be us reminding you all of this. This is what that bastard coward means by "Hardball": he will kick a woman's ass, he will mendaciously grill a liberal, he will go after a negro -- but if the right guest comes on, the clouds part, and it's Fellatio Day once again!

What Charley said: A star-fucing power-sucker. And Tweety has always been skeptical of Iraq, but not enough to abandon his man-love(s).

Me three!
Including: It would seem that, of the "enemy combatants" in Guantanamo, only 8% are both enemies and combatants
what an odd way to clap.
From Wiki, which is not exactly great, but hey:
Among the many votes he cast during his tenure in the House, he voted in 1979 with the majority against making Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday a national holiday, and again voted with the majority in 1983 when the measure passed.
He voted against the creation of the U.S. Department of Education, citing his concern over budget deficits and expansion of the federal government. He also believed it to be an encroachment to states' rights.[5]
In 1986, after President Reagan vetoed a bill to impose economic sanctions against South Africa for its official policy of apartheid, Cheney was one of 83 Representatives who voted against overriding the veto. In later years, Cheney articulated his opposition to "unilateral sanctions," against many different countries, stating "they almost never work."[6] He also opposed unilateral sanctions against communist Cuba, and later in his career he would support multilateral sanctions against Iraq. However the comparison to Cuba is not exactly apt, as the European Community had voted to place limited sanctions upon South Africa in 1986.
In 1986, Cheney, along with 145 Republicans and 31 Democrats, voted against a nonbinding Congressional resolution calling on the South African government to release Nelson Mandela from prison, after the majority Democrats defeated proposed amendments to the language that would have required Mandela to renounce violence sponsored by the ANC and requiring the ANC to oust the Communist faction from leadership. The resolution was defeated.[7] Appearing on CNN during the Presidential campaign in 2000, Cheney addressed criticism for this, saying he opposed the resolution because the ANC "at the time was viewed as a terrorist organization and had a number of interests that were fundamentally inimical to the United States."[8]
kei & yuri - Sorry, your opinions are no longer credible. Siouxsie, a Bowie ripoff?

Tweety may be inconsistent to point of driving one to distraction, but Tory Clark certainly deserved more of an asswhupping than the mild tirade she got from him.
Ever since she served as chief saleslady for the administration's misbegotten war plans, and belched noxious drivel during those daily Pentagon briefings, I've harbored nothing but disdain for her.
You are dead to me.

No, we were saying that that was how they were smeared when they first came out; also, they were supposed to be Nazis. In keeping with the completely insane world of Holocaust memory, Siouxie and the Banshees, nearly the only band to apologize for the scene-wide Nazi fetishism of the 70s, went whole hog for Zionism with a lullaby-anthem that could've come from Leon Uris and an entire album called Israel, Suddenly all was forgotten (if she really was a Nazi, should she get instant forgiveness for demonstrating willingness to schill?!). Meanwhile, the ones dumb enough to apologize are also the only ones saddled with what several of the earliest punk acts did all the time, none of whom have to do any anthems. WTF?

The show was supposed to be called Handball, but the producer misread Tweety's writing.
Thanks kei & yuri 
I could recall a lot of it, my old hard drive, and formerly the John Kerrry site, had material dealing with that on it...
My TPM cafe post posted info that forced me to re-log. A tinyurl posted on the page, some of these google links list the IP address it threads to you on. Had to reboot to change connections.
Killed a post of mine to one of Larry Johnson's TPM posts that he was responding to post upon.
The Hill & Knowlton firm did the Niger forgery. They ran PR for the UK in Niger for the time that the letterhead of the Brit embassy was dated.
Hill & Knowlton did the fake baby incubator story.
People all over EUrope are already comparing the Muslim slander cartoons to similar attempts to gin up controversy.
My contention is they're trying to fast track EU sanctions of Iran to gain more market shares in fossil fuels and further inflame the reactionairy vote there to the point their legislative body is overrun with fundies to justify further EU involvement in the Mid East.
That said, unless the Brit soldiers deployed extra (3,500 to match the originial 500) stage on the Iran border then we're doing full time psyops there which is what the Danish paper reeks of.
That paper dates back to pro-Mussolini editorials(Niger forgery surfaced in Rome). The paper is the result of a conglomeration of media interests as well.
Is it possible the new paper is run by the same monies running the Chicago Tribune, Jerusalem Post, and a variety of English rags?
These people don't change method or motives. Look strategically, it's so very possible.
My post at TPM was that we have three strategic concerns. 1) Venezuela is on the tactical short cut , a primary reason Negroponte is the NID. 2) Syria is a smaller weaker opponent, with Coptic constituency we can use the tried and true "sister state" to Judaic Israel. The Lebanon theory of the 80s done over. The primary reason Lebanon's leader was offed, to insulate Syria further from the Trans-Arabian pipeline and the new Iraqi line that itself will fuel Eudo needs and North America in the coming decade.
We only pick on wimps, and Syria has less power than Iran and is watched closer.
Iran needs a decade of sanctions to fall apart, see also Iraq. Eventually we'll try and triangulate Iran against China. Despite their business leanings. China is set to be hedged by Pakistan and India, the strategic concern is that we can make an ally of Iranian moderates to join these in Southern asia.
It is a long complex picture to paint. Think strategically on the whole. Apply occam's razor to the immediate situation in the meantime.
If Iran gets nukes Israel, Russia, China, the EU, will be beholden to USA star wars technology. We must create a demand to justify the market sector expansion.
Meanwhile Russia does an Enron, and hikes Ukraine power rates to create capital and investment for its pipeline to Europe. Economic triangulation.
Complex possibilities...
why...why would anyone with any brains waste a moment of their time on that piece of garbage? Ignore the turd so he only has his good friend modest Tom DeLay to to listen to his blather.
move on Atrios. Mathews isn't worth the time it takes to watch him and even less the thoughts wasted on thinking about him, and still less the effort to write about him - he's pure crap, like the rest of his repukelican fanatic GOPper propagandists.
.
I know there is more perceptive ability here than is being shown. The universe, reality, is multiplicitous. A person may have various opinions and values about several different things. Some I may agree with, some I may abhor, some I may wonder about, some I may misunderstand.
1. I'm talking about the war in Eyerack only
2. Matthews has ALWAYS opposed the war in Eyerack, his opposition has been consistent and endures to this day
3. Although I may disagree with and oppose him on a myriad of *other* issues, that does not make him a flip flopper or inconsistent at all
4. He is a host/moderator of Hardball and not a full time advocate for the anti-Eyerack-war position. When the guest(s) and topic(s) logically permit discussion of the war as such, his 'anti' opinion is obvious and is reflected in his questions and discussions with the guests. Be aware that it is entirely appropriate that he frequently asks challenging questions of his anti-Eyerack-war guests and doing so does not make him a flipflipper or mean that he has weak beliefs about that war.
5. His position against that war is almost unique in the corporate media world, particularly among 'principals', and after observing his performance on *this topic* since 2002 I can say without fear of rebuttal that, looking at the total time frame, Matthews has been 'more anti-Iraq-war' than Murtha and way more than Kerry, Edwards, etc.
6. One can agree with 1 - 5 and still hate Tweety for many other things, still find innumerable flaws with which I will heartily agree, and conclude that, all things considered, he is a worthless dog. This does not refute his admirable opposition to this unnecessary and unwise war, and failing to recognize this does not do one credit.
What's more, on the very related issue of Plame, IIRC Tweety was the *first* one to name Scooter Libby as a miscreant of interest, July 03, and turned the heat up so high that Libby went running to Timmeh for help. Matthews announced to the world, after informing Joe Wilson, that Karl Rove had called him and said that Wilson's wife was "fair game".
The only way I can see that Matthews could have handled *this* issue better would be if there were better Dems and other war opponents to send to his show to help make the case. By better I mean having the political and rhetorical skills to do a takedown job on the admin flacks - people like George Mitchell, Wesley Clark, Bill Clinton. And I would blame that lack more on the Dems and on his producers than on him. /sermon
-
Clark wasn't an admin flack, not reallyt sure where he's at right now with the Fox gig. He has a soldier-centric platform based on benefits and body armour, and support of fighting Dems.
Reps are already claiming the Democrats are trying to polticize the soldier's abiding loyalty.
Let's see how hard the spin wurtzilzer holds pattern.
Don't let Matthews fool you--he is what he is and that is a Republican shill. Remember too, he may throw bones to keep bloggers away from his brother who is running for Lt. Gov in PA. (at least I think it is PA)
Whatever, I think we SHOULD as bloggers beat the hell out of his brother. Let Matthews have a taste of his own hardball.
aquarius2 |
Matthews is what he is, a Republican shill. He, on occasion, may sound more moderate but he is not.
No, he never supported the war but idolizes "he should be on Mount Rushmore" Bush. Complex, you bet but one thing never changes, he is a Republican shill.
I think the earlier piece in his show explains a lot.
Tweety set it up by saying that US foreign policy is based on bringing democracy to the middle east. He then said that the violence over the cartoons shows that our cultures are just too far apart for them to embrace western democracy with free speech etc.
I think what we saw was his realization that the last remaining justification for the war had literally gone up in smoke this week.
Sure, we have known this for a long time, but Tweety finally saw the graphic proof.
I suspect this will be a common reaction to the spreading violence, and more Americans will finally decide that this war was a mistake and it's time to come home.
Did he just fucking wake up after 4 years? Where the fuck was he when the sales job was being done? Gawd.
having the political and rhetorical skills to do a takedown job on the admin flacks - people like George Mitchell, Wesley Clark, Bill Clinton
Sorry 'bout the nonclarity. I mean George, Wesley and Bill have the skills to do that work, not that they are flacks for the admin. Oppositewise. And not necessarily that Mitchell and Clinton hold the right views or not to do that, simply that they have the skills to do it. Clark I'm sure has the views and I've seen him leave war supporters wrecked and burning in the discourse ditch.
-
Tweety is such a cowardly bully. He chooses now and this minor former Pentagon mouthpiece to attack.
I love what he said but these are ALL agruments that he KNEW could have been made years ago and he soft-freakin'-balled every other official.
I'm not sure what kind of game Tweety is playing but I'm not buying it. He's not to be trusted.
Was it just the quality of the replay but was his voice quavery?
The only way I can see that Matthews could have handled *this* issue better would be if there were better Dems and other war opponents to send to his show to help make the case.

And I would blame that lack more on the Dems and on his producers than on him.
Very good up to this point, QC! But I think he has a lot to say about his own syndicated show and it's truly awful!! His show is one big Dem -bashing event every Sunday. His guests stay right on script and the script says Dems are weak - Rethugs are strong. Dems are fair game and Rs are off limits - even with all the lies, misdeeds, and mistakes that they've made.
he never has a good word to say about any democrat (remember the debates?)
Who does he idolize - Rudy - Darth Cheney- McCain - Shrub.
My take--Tweety is like John Dickinson at the 1st Continental Congress. He doesn't agree with the war; never has. But he really likes Bush, thinks his involvement was sincere, thinks he got bad advice from some evil advisers. Like John Dickinson--George III isn't the problem; it's that sneaky Parliament.
What Tweety does, his function, is to show that it's OK for people who don't like the war in Iraq to continue to support Bush.
Or, he may only be capable of listening to those with penises.
Either way, he HAS NOT SEEN THE LIGHT. He is hopeless, beyond redemption, and we really need to release him with all the contempt he deserves. Just an Ann Coulter dressed in shinier sheepskin.
Tweety would get some props from me if, after she went off on her stupid "preemption" argument, he'd pointed out that such a "principle" would be the end of world peace as we know it. Iraq would have had every right to preemptively attack us under this "doctrine," and with much, much more justification. Iran would have a right to do so right now.
But no, Tweety's idea of refuting this insanity was to affirm it by arguing that many countries would be legitimate targets of US attack. Not a whiff of a recognition that the US is not the center of the goddam universe and exempt from the laws that govern the rest of it. Instead he argues in effect, why stop at Iraq? This must be music to the ears of the lunatics who are getting ready to attack Iran.
This is the brilliance of the US propaganda system, that all sides of the debate silently agree about the one issue that poisons the others. And then we turn around and applaud what amounts to a reaffirmation of the Big Lie.
We love Big Brother.
I'd like what Chimp gets: National air time on all channels.
And I'd say Don't you people get it?? Don't you fucking get it??? The majority of so-called news organizations are LYING to us; all of us!! They're not neutral, "objective" journalists; they're entertainers!! It doesn't matter why; the majority are bending over for Chimp and his pack, and they're gutless, morally bankrupt whores that are covering greed and murder and crimes against humanity!! Our country is being raped and gutted right in front of us!! WAKE UP!!!
Thank you, good night, and god help us all, wherever She is.
Tweety's just one more clown in the ring. People need to stop attending the circus and educate themselves.
ABOUT FUCKING TIME!!!!!!!!!!!
His show is one big Dem -bashing event every Sunday.
I don't doubt it for a minute, and Hardball is frequently like that. They stopped showing his Sunday show in this market, opting for infomercials instead. When he goes into his pathological Clinton hatred mode on Hardball I have to click or walk away. Of course, if you think about it, there's quite a bit of bashing Dems as weak in this neck of the woods - Vichy dems, no nerves, no spine etc. - Lord help anyone who says a nice thing about Hillary. And I don't mean to equate holding D's to account with the vitriol and agenda-pushing you reference re: Tweety.
And you're right about Tweety having big input, I imagine, on who the producers call in. I just mean that I wish that my side had someone watching all this and making smart moves - identifying and prepping a stable of talking heads to hold down the media flank. And working smart to get them on the shows and in the press to fight back and win. Kinda like during Clinton's terms, where the bad guys may have poured on a constant rain of shit, but somebody on our side would always push back with Lannie Davis, Rahm Emmanuel, Lyons and Conason, etc. We won that war. We had better win this one.
-

That's a brilliant idea!! I've been thinking the same thing for a long time now. It's so frustrating to watch our team go on the talk shows unprepared - and an absolute joy to watch when they are!!
And you're right about us bashing out vichy dems - but they are worse than republicans - as you well know! Our centrists have given credibility to the flawed policies of Bushco.
One last thing about Tweety before I go to sleep. I think that this rant had to come out - he's been carrying it around for a long time. (playing jr psychiatrist now) But he can't put it back - it's out there - his boss saw it MSNBC saw it - RoveInc, and us lefty types too - so it will be very interesting to see how he'll play the game from now on.
Mathews would bite the head off a live chicken on-air if that's what it took to keep pulling down the Big Bucks.
There's more integrity to be found in a runaway kid forced to turn tricks to survive, than in all the Mathews of the corporate airwaves.
To say that we are closer to victory today is to believe, in the face of the evidence, the optimists who have been wrong in the past. To suggest we are on the edge of defeat is to yield to unreasonable pessimism. To say that we are mired in stalemate seems the only realistic, yet unsatisfactory, conclusion. On the off chance that military and political analysts are right, in the next few months we must test the enemy's intentions, in case this is indeed his last big gasp before negotiations. But it is increasingly clear to this reporter that the only rational way out then will be to negotiate, not as victors, but as an honorable people who lived up to their pledge to defend democracy, and did the best they could.
This is Walter Cronkite. Good night.
Matthews is no weather vane - he's too flighty for that. He's more like a just a leaf in the wind. Except particularly in the Clinton years and in the last last year of so, he's been very one-sided. Barely better in between, but he's had some all-too-fleeting moments.
Here's the problem with Matthews and all these guys, except Olbermann and I think it's the problem at the Times and Post, too. They're so used to getting complaints they don't sort the legitimate ones from the partisan screamers. Someone at the Post said they get ripped by both sides so they must be doing something right. I'm betting that's a common reaction - but that's illogical.
If people rip Matthews for actually living up to the name of his show with a hack like Clarke, just to name one person - that's not the same as a criticism about an outrageous lie. Pick one - the one about Democrats sounding like bin Ladin was outrageous enough. I think they're too lazy, egotistical, witless..whatever to realize that.
Meanwhile, I'm sure Matthews will repent of his sin of holding someone responsible for their actions and words and will shill for the right again and with added gusto. Sad to say - that seems to be how it works.
Say what you want about Tweets, but the mother shut Torrie DOWN-she was left sputtering at the end of his rant. Literally sputtering. It was F'in great.
Jeebus, if you shut your eyes, and forgot she was a woman, she did a great imitation of Cheney. A Stepford Cheney. Where do they find these people?
Still-Worst President Ever.
You come on his show, you kiss his ass. Watch it again with that in mind. He does not like being talked down to, so he hits back (starts with that ‘flack’ thing). When he calms down we'll have 'ol Tweety back again.
I just wish when the ‘pig with lipstick’ gal was going on about free expression Tweety had hit her with last months clip of Bush going on about ‘responsible and irresponsible’ criticism of his administration. The cognitive dissonance would’ve made her head explode.
I thought the real question was, "is our children learning?"
hello? your being played. a two bit hustler could tell you this is a shell game.
the con doesn't always take your money, sometimes he lets you win, when the stakes aren't very high.
just how many polly annas are here that don't know that?
This isn't anything new....He's bitched about all this before. Tweety usually blames everyone but the HDIC (Head dick in charge) for the failure to find WMD and the whole rationale for the war. He doesn't want to piss off his Rethuglican boytoys too much.
Matthews has been skeptical about the Iraq war since before it started. It doesn't stop him from belittling Democrats on all sides of the issue, or giving Republicans far more respect and free air time than they merit.
