Tweety's people confess they were snookered on OBL video

[grasswire]

After Tweety left for the night and Scarborough-Reagan took over, the subject of the impact of the OBL tape came up. Several of them had to actually confess they were "taken in" and "wrong" about the impact the video would have. They had all, remember, been sure it would help Bush. It didn't. They were wrong. Again. Just as they were wrong about the debates.

I guess they don't dare admit these errors in front of Tweety.

And by the way, Tweety allowed his son to sing "America the Beautiful" to end his hour. A fresh-faced young man, just the sort of fodder the Bushes seek for their imperial adventures.

3. Absolutely no defense of Tweety

is intended but I remember him saying his son is a Dean guy, worked hard to get him nominated. This was back during the interviews he was doing doing the primaries. Can't take watching his show but maybe there is a little hope in that.

10. and when Dean dropped out

Tweety gave the most eloquent, lovely speech at the end of his broadcast.

He's still a jerk, though.

4. His son worked for the Dean campaign.

I don't think he is a Republican.

6. After seeing Tweetie yesterday, with Pat Buchanan and Andrrea all of

them misquoting polling data and lying through their teeth, I didn't watch tonight....but Tweety looked ill last night ; very pale lips...
to match his lying lips and soul

7. Ha!

Maybe the should hire some of us who actually HAVE journalism experience, haven't lived in the vaccum of the Beltway for 30 years and would not (like Helen Thomas) be intimidated by a coward like Shrub.

After this election, I'm seriously considering getting back into journalism - even if I have to move. My son's in school, now, so the demands aren't as great for child care. One small step to taking back a free press.

And BLOGS should be required reading for every reporter. Period. :)

8. these lying liars are always wrong

how do they stay employed

I haven't heard aninsightful or helpful syllable form any of them except Ron Reagan for the entire campaign.

They are wrong, wrong, and wrong again.

9. Almost all of the cable babble-heads

called it as HUGE for Chimp.

Bzzzzzzt. Wrong again.
