As for Tweety Matthews, he tawt he taw an opening into a potential Senate bid. I hope he gets his feathered backside and tingly leg handed to him on a platter under glass served up to the nearest PUMA.

Lovely, Ferd. “Defeat the Tweet!”

Sad to say, it wasn’t hard at all coming up with all the quotes.

Cheers!!!

Gee, who at NBC-MSNBC will get to interview the incoming SoS? My guess is that it won’t go past Brian Williams.

Which is why it was so good. It was spot on and ripped to shreds the anti-Hillary argument. That’s why I liked it.

Here is my take on your 5 questions as to how MSNBC became so sinister, bizarre, etc.

Some of this was revealed during the weekend following Tim Russert’s death. I watched/listened to every bit of what appeared to be a “State Funeral” even though it was difficult since I had long before decided Tim Russert was completely in the tank for Obama. I was looking for clues to the same questions you have.

Tim Russert ran MSNBC at least from the political programming end. I had no idea until then that his role was as wide-spread as it was. Nora O’Donald (in the tank for Obama) tearfully talked about being hired by Russert. Hard-shell Andrea Mitchell (in the tank for Obama)cried openly on the air as she described her daily associations with Russert and how he was the only person besides her father that called her ‘Mitch’.

Chuck Todd, the political director, was also hired by Russert. Todd and the man who has called the winner on election night for many years at NBC were intereviewed that weekend of TR’s death to talk about how Tim had predicted the 2000 election tie and that he had again predicted a 269-269 electoral vote tie for the 2008 election. And, yes, they never spoke of anyone being the dem nominee but Obama. Chuck Todd told the election night guy he couldn’t let Tim down and they were counting on him to make this happen – how ever that was possible.

When Obama commented on Russert’s death that Friday afternoon, he said, “Tim was a friend…..”. It was revealed during that weekend that Russert and Obama became fast friends after O’s 2004 Keynote address to the Dem Nat’l Convention. It is my opinion that Tim decided then, like Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean that Obama was the one for 2008.

With all the responsibilities Russert had, I would bet he was front and center in the decision to rival conservative FoxNews by becoming the “Liberal” media outlet.

Tim Russert was the ring-leader promoting Obama. It made me ill. It appeared that all of the people at MSNBC became even more dedicated to helping elect Obama after Tim’s death in Tim’s honor. I couldn’t help thinking he had been punished for this sinister, snake-in-the-grass role he decided to play.

OT, but does anyone know where Howard Dean was today? Is Bo subbing him or the other way around?

1) Chris Matthews really being some homo-erotic love thing for Fraudbama.

2) GE owning MSNBC, getting a big promise of a bailout from the Fraud, and therefore instructing its personnel in the media to blow smoke up the Fraud’s butt.

3) Olbermann’s plain and simple misogynism, hate, rage and anger at HRC.

4) All of the above.

5) Something way more sinister, bizarre and criminal than even we can think of.

Can’t imagine this being someone’s “favorite” post during the primaries as one of the commenters said earlier here. The post about Olbermann was perhaps the most egregious collection of sexist remarks ever uttered about any woman, much less someone as intelligent, articulate, savvy, accomplished as Hillary Clinton.

I did watch Countdown that night after Hillary’s comments about Robert Kennedy. It was totally amazing how that “BREAKING NEWS” flasher looked like another 911 Attack. He was making that big a deal about it.

That was the night I pretty much lost it and called MSNBC, left messages telling them Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews were going to need body guards because they were two of the most hated men in America. And to think before the primaries started THAT was my station of choice. I, like others here, finally realized I had to stop watching/listening to it. It truly made me crazy.
