Tweety: "Fear and Loathing in the White House"

[CatWoman]

:D

he's drooling, folks :D

[Walt Starr]

1. I am very saddened by the fact that I've had to miss Tweety the one week

he's been semi-rational.

:cry:

[CatWoman]

4. AWWWW

Poor Walt :D

[zippy890]

21. your not missing THAT much

IMO

[blm]

22. He's playing catch up at a furious pace to cover his own deceits.

He doesn't want the finger of complicity to land on him.

He knew for TWO years what he knows today. And he allowed GOP operatives to spin against Wilson as a partisan campaign hack working for Kerry throughout last year. He never corrected them with the truth.

[Singular73]

35. No he didn't

He had no idea...he's honestly not that bright.

[blm]

38. He spoke to Rove himself back then...remember "Fair game" re Plame?

.

[CatWoman]

36. and is still doing it

If I hear him say Wilson said Cheney sent him to Niger one more time, I swear I'll SCREAM!!!

:hi:

[Jawja]

40. Me, too, CatWoman!

He has repeated that lie every night this week:

"Wilson claims he went to Niger at the request of the Vice President."

That fact or non-fact has no relevance to the illegal outing of an undercover operative, however.

[FreedomAngel82]

45. Oh of course

And it's people like Matthews who piss me off and make me stop watching all network "news" stations.

[Bob3]

2. how dare he use that line

Still HST did use it in reference to Nixon's last days "Fear and Loathing in the Bunker - The Scum Also Rises"

That said Tweety has no business quoting Thompson. May he be visited by huge Giant Bats all swooping and diving at his car.

[Canuckistanian]

6. Tweety's a paid mouthpiece

HST is a true writer/pundit/journalist.

[Walt Starr]

8. HST was far more than a writer/pundit/journalist

He was a DOCTOR of Journalism!

[DancingBear]

11. Far more than that

He was a GONZO doctor of journalism!

[mark11727]

16. I miss the crazy old bastid...

:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

[Canuckistanian]

30. Someone once described what Gonzo Journalism is

"Gonzo Journalism" is journalism where the writer not only gets personally involved in the story, but actually changes the story's outcome.

[Raksha]

34. Ummm...but would that make Judy Miller a "gonzo journalist"?

I wouldn't want to put her in the same class as HST, when she shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence!

Re >>"Gonzo Journalism" is journalism where the writer not only gets personally involved in the story, but actually changes the story's outcome.<<

[Canuckistanian]

49. Hmm, got a point there

But I don't think this kind of treachery was included in the definition.

[Bob3]

50. Thompson never pretended to be an objective jouralist

But Judy did when she was writing all those Phoney WMD stories and what not. That is the important differnce.

You knew what side Thompson's sympathies lay with when you read his work - Judy was pretending to present objective facts. Thompson was on the side of the outlaw, the outsider and the margalized "the Doomed" to quote Where the Buffalo Roam (not a good movie but the term is good) - Hunter would never have said something as vapid as "Yoo Hoo King!" to the King of Jordan like Miller did.

[Fridays Child]

7. I like your avatar.

I have no fucking clue what it is but I really like it. :hi:

[Ilsa]

12. Bring Tweety a shot glass of bat squeeze for his next round... eom

[Bob3]

3. delete dupe

dupe

[napi21]

5. I always watch him on the rerun. I like to hear Jack Cafferty!

It sounds like Tweety's not letting lose of the indictments though!

[CatWoman]

9. Asshole Tweety keeps lying

saying Wilson said Cheney sent him to Niger.

[emulatorloo]

13. more proof that emails to Tweety get deleted unheeded

because I know a few people who were writing him and Ms. Mitchell-Greenspan. . .

:hi:

[still_one]

10. tweety is a fool

[DURHAM D]

15. Didn't you mean "Tweeny is a tool" for Andy Card ?

[still_one]

17. that was good

[leftchick]

14. HOLY @#$%^&**!!!!!

:wow: we need a fainting emoticon!!!!

Forged Documents, Lies, Run up to war Lies, Bush lying, LIES, Wilson pissing off the WH, LIES....

OMG... just OMG... <fainting emoticon we need>....

[CatWoman]

23. "wer'e not talking about who sleeped with who"

"we are talking about the future of the presidency"

[Lex]

24. Oh, so he admits this may be a teensy bit more important than a BJ?

We do need a fainting smilie.

[bluedawg12]

18. He's amusing but not too insightful, tweety get's onto one idea

and then goes on and on about it. Currently, he is angry because he, as a "journalist", was duped about the war and so he is, at long last, aware of the fact that the rationale for war blew.

However, prior to the invasion he was all stars and stripes whenever one of the many neoconnsters showed up to bleat propaganda on his show.

[gkhouston]

19. well he wouldn't have been duped about the war

if he hadn't closed his eyes while he was fellating the White House. I guess he wanted them to think it was his "first time".

[bluedawg12]

44. LOL, maybe we'll see his little black blazer stains and all.

Tweety has an amazing ability to swim with the tide and then think that he invented the ocean.

[Hubert Flottz]

20. I'm afraid that isn't drool.

He must have met with the pResident again.

[CatWoman]

25. PATHETIC

how Gergen describes the talking points the GOP just issued about Wilson -- using his quote about taking drugs in the 60's.

These people never learn.

[CatWoman]

26. AMY GOODMAN IS COMING UP

after the break -- alongside that witch Melanie Morgan

[faithnotgreed]

27. what did gergen say

i dont care for him but am interested to hear what he is spinning

[CatWoman]

28. he said the talking points play is pathetic

[faithnotgreed]

32. ooooo

i love to hear republicans call their fellow republican antics "pathetic"

now if only chris would announce any of the thousand other times he has received/reported the talking points of the day

[CatWoman]

29. Great --

Melanie Morgan wants to indict Wilson for lying :eyes:

[CatWoman]

31. Amy is so soothing and calm

and this lying witch, Morgan -- saying Plame wasn't undercover.

Don't they get sick of that lie?

[Tinksrival]

33. OH SNAP!!

Tweety calls out the bitch on her lies!

[alfredo]

37. If Tweetie is this excited, I'm sure he smells blood.

[Cha]

41. Nice toons!

The West Wing goes to the Big House!

[alfredo]

48. I found them on Yahoo.

Look at the comic tab on the Yahoo news page.
http://news.yahoo.com/

Scroll down for the editorial comics.

[RevolutionStartsNow]

39. I miss HST. He would love this.

I would love to read what he would be writing about the White House gang right about now.

[Cha]

42. He would Love this..

I wish he could have hung around.

[blm]

47. So true.

.

[VolcanoJen]

43. Repeat on now... David Shuster's report is devastating.

He focuses on the forged Italian memo, links it to Chalabi, shows a portion of the Cincinnati speech... it's concise and mindblowing to anyone who wasn't yet aware of the facts.

Shuster says that Fitzgerald is casting a wide net and thinking more in terms of how the country entered the war in Iraq.

Shuster has been incredible this week. He explains the story from top to bottom and hits all the key points, because Hardball has given him a series of long segments in which to do so. His reports must be devastating to the administration, and there aren't even any indictments yet.

Finally, Shuster brought up the new Fitz website. :-)

[Gabi Hayes]

46. that was very very good reporting, wasn't it? what an unexpected

respite from the hyperdrama queen.

too bad they don't wrest the show from him and give it to Shuster and David Stretch, or whatever his name is from NBC
