Tweety is picking apart the Democratic Debate...Now.
Right now he has Lieberman on whining about beong locked out of the debate. The candidates voted on whether they wanted him to participate after changing his schedule and they voted NO. Hmmm... Now, Liebernam is talking about Clark who was a republican 2 weeks ago and is now voting to "lock out" a lifelong Democrat from the debate. This should be interesting. Noonan, Fineman, Jesse Jackson and someone else are going to talking about the debate. <sigh> I can just imagine what Fineman and Noonan will say. :grr:

1. Why the fuck are you supporting Tweety?
I'd rather see his show drop in the ratings and his ass pulled from the air.

Please stop watching.

2. Watching does not equate to supporting. It is useful to keep an eye on
the enemy. Yes, I'm sure I read that someplace.

3. You are one more viewer to his rankings....
every viewer counts...

I'm sure Matthews thanks you very much for keeping his sorry ass around.

23. well, maybe not
The ratings are based on surveys of pre-selected homes chosen by the Nielsen company. If you aren't a Nielsen home, there is no way anyone's viewership affects ratings one way or another.

I myself don't have the stomach for Tweety at all. More power to anyone who can tolerate him.

7. Fineman said Clark "won"
Clark being interviewed right now by Tweety. New sig line is that "we are not attacking the president because he attacking terrorist, because he is not attacking terrorist. Trying to trap him into saying yay or nay about gay marriage.

8. He's interviewing our candidates!
I never watch this channel unless I HAVE to. I HAVE to because our debate was on and now HE IS talking about the debate.

11. I'd take Matthews over anyone on Fox
He can be very centrist at times and I applaud anyone that spoke against the Iraq war and hammers Ann Coulter on air.

17. the ratings are only from participating families,
usu. with a recording box on the TV. Most people should be able to watch it without affecting the ratings a whit.

4. I thought Tweety was going
to have some candidates on. As soon as I saw Howard Fineman, I left the TV and came to see what what going on on DU. What the hell else are they going to do, except bash the Democratic candidates.

10. You missed Fineman proclaiming Clark winner
That was a fine moment. Wes is the man.

Tweety was just whining because he could not get Clark to stray off message re: gay marriage. I thought tweety would blow a gasket, Clark kept smiling and was not about to let CM twist his answer. That was worth watching.

30. I liked that, too. Fineman first said Clark, then
added Dean when Luntz did. Funny that Luntz seems to have the ability to push his positions onto supposed newspeople, huh?

5. Screw HolyJoe!
His answer re: Gay Marriage "marriage between man and a woman," proves he is Bu$h-Lite. I would write in Howard Dean before I would pencil for LIEberman

13. He couldn't pick his butt in the dark with two hands and a flashlight.
Matthews is essentially useless to us.

16. Clark won
They are dissing him so badly. They know this debate made Clark very presidential. Chris Matthews is an ass. Thinks way too much of himself, "Frank Lundz our favorite pollster" Why doesn't he just come out a claim to be * shoelicker. What a jerk.

19. Frank Luntz our favorite Republican pollster
It's important to note at every opportunity that Luntz is a Republican pollster. Never trust a pollster with a stated party preference.

In fact, never trust pollsters at all. Shifty lot, they are...

25. Luntz's experiment has Dems doing great when they don't trash Chimpy.
I think Diebold lent him the equipment. ;-)

26. Pillsbury Dough Boy Luntz...
...who I think is a straight up queen, is disgusting. They even made him wear a tie, and it still isn't helping.

saying of Luntz "You don't have an ax to grind."

:puke:

14. Didn't Wes have to reschedule
a major fundraiser to attend this debate?

Didn't Joe have that option, too?

I could be wrong.

Peggy Noonan. I wouldn't be surprised if her name comes up in the rush investigation. Got Prozac, Peggy?
