I have to give a BIG thumbs up to Tweety bird tonight

[lynettebro440]

He is actually speaking information with heart about shit that the mass of stupid people need to hear. I actually was proud there for a split second when he said that we have to think about what the news reels are going to be showing during this election in 20 years. At the crossroads of human kind we have to make a decision and we are talking about lipstick.

I'm impressed with him tonight, normally I have to mute or not watch until KO comes on. Thumbs up Chris, there may be some light for a change.

1. He was good, wasn't he?

I was very happy and very impressed. That's the Chris Matthews of old, the guy I enjoyed so long ago. He did a great job.

But why do those opposition women always look like that? Pinched face, unlined (Botoxed) forehead, hair that moves once a week when it's washed and styled, and pearls.

I have great pearls. I love my pearls. I look great in my pearls. And these banshees are making it very hard for me to wear my pearls.

[lynettebro440]

3. Living the lie these women have been living

there brains are shrinking up through their asses. Smile and wear the pearls and tell them to fuck themselves and then smile.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

6. Thank you

I do believe I'll also put some lipstick on my pearls, just to make sure I've got all bases covered.

10. And wiggle your ass a little as you pass by

the one thing I'm learning in my old age, those that will say something would find anything to say something against you anyways. Be who you are, what you feel and what makes YOU feel good and screw everyone else and their opinion. I have seen in the last half century styles that have come, gone and then come back again. Some of them were uglier then shit and the others were cool. Wear who you are and never let anyone make you feel bad about what your style is. Speak it loud and proud baby.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

14. Oh, you got that right, sister!

I'm old, probably got some years on you, and if I'd known what kind of freedom my age afforded me, I'd have gotten older a LONG time ago.

No matter what, a personal style is still the coolest thing in the world. And when you've got the courage and playfulness - as you obviously have - the cultivate your personal style, who cares what's out there and what's "in vogue"?

We rule, and we know it.

What's funny is that I always thought I had to be a certain age to be able to wear pearls properly - do you know what I mean? - and now that I've reached that age - and then some - I resent those tightassed harridans usurping my very beautiful jewelry.

Ah, they look better on me than they do on those lost chicks, and mine are real - bet theirs are fakes................

[lynettebro440]

15. You made me laugh

I know exactly what your talking about. The cool way is to find the way that makes you classy, you know? And knowing these rich bitches, they're probably real but they don't give a shit, they don't understand what real means.

I'm turning 50...and yeah I guess I'm a real young soul. Probably too young sometimes but really feel like life is short, maybe an omen, maybe the fact that I'm not as fit as I should be, but your brain eventually turns into a child again when you get real old, I just figured early on that having that youth in you keeps you young, even if the years keep passing by faster and faster. And it won't be such a dramatic thing if and when I do really get old....and I'm talking in my 90's...that's when I figure I'll probably be old. But been feeling lately if these asswipes steal another election I don't know how long I want to live on this planet, maybe the next one will actually have some real substantial intelligence, you know? LOL.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

16. I know the feeling

But I know a 91-year-old woman whose body has betrayed her - she had a stroke and is wheelchair-bound - but her mind is as clear and sharp and feisty as ever, and she's really something. What sucks is that she's in a nursing home, and there's no one around her to keep up with her, intellectually. I hate that for her, but I adore her.

Yeah, I got some years on you - enough to have been completely lost in the sixties, so lost that I can't quite remember them - but I am convinced that if the body holds out - and we are all subject to the whims of our genes - the mind is as young as we want it to be. I have young friends - in their twenties - who think I'm cooler than shit.

I tell them they're confusing immaturity with cool, but they know. They know.

If we lose this election, some friends and I are already hatching plans - Canada, Switzerland, Las Vegas and a noose ................

[lynettebro440]

17. Christ lady

those are my 3 spots too.....already looking into Canada, job possibilities...I would rather go to Amsterdam...if you know what I mean...and Vegas, hell yes. My son and I were supposed to be there by now but things haven't worked out. I hear you and if the world caves in we should keep in touch.

I missed the missing 60's and I always regret that I wasn't about 10 years older. I would have lavished in them...forgetting and all...I think now I'm just an old broad stuck in the 60's attitude. And yeah I was going to say to you most of my friends are in their 20's. I can't stand people my age, they are either stupid or well...stupid, or judemental or did I say stupid? I know I have said here before but I'm so disappointed in my generation and yours too for letting these assholes take control again of our nation. We were all around in the 70's and 80's with the same people, same attitude and we were dumb not to scream so loud to ourselves and the younger generation that we can't let these people in. But we didn't, we all just stood there and said nothing. Well, I said quite a lot, probably the reason I don't have any real friends. But oh well.

You sound like a rockin old lady....someone I could hang out with. I don't say that lightly, ever actually, but you sound cool. What area of the world you live now?

[Tangerine LaBamba]

21. The place where, when the end comes,

I won't have even a millisecond to contemplate the end. I'm in Northern Virginia, about 15 minutes from the White House. Twenty, if there's traffic. Ten from the Pentagon.

See? When the Big Nuke drops, all my decisions will be made for me.

I don't know that my generation dropped the ball. We encountered someone who's now dead, and, if there is such a thing as Hell, is rotting in a very special corner of that place. Lee Atwater. He changed the face of politics while no one was looking, and then we got Karl Rove, and, well, the rest of the story is, alas, our history.

It's funny that not more attention is paid to that sonofabitch, but I am convinced, like Hitler, he changed our world, our country, our lives, and our future. Too bad a brain tumor took him away. I can only hope he suffered.

We'll prevail, though, again. In the meantime, it's nice to have Vegas and the noose as backup.

Stay in touch, please?

[lynettebro440]

23. Sounds to me that Atwater got was coming to him

In a February 1991 article for Life Magazine, Atwater wrote:

"My illness helped me to see that what was missing in society is what was missing in me: a little heart, a lot of brotherhood. The '80s were about acquiring — acquiring wealth, power, prestige. I know. I acquired more wealth, power, and prestige than most. But you can acquire all you want and still feel empty. What power wouldn't I trade for a little more time with my family? What price wouldn't I pay for an evening with friends? It took a deadly illness to put me eye to eye with that truth, but it is a truth that the country, caught up in its ruthless ambitions and moral decay, can learn on my dime. I don't know who will lead us through the '90s, but they must be made to speak to this spiritual vacuum at the heart of American society, this tumor of the soul."

I'm in Des Moines, IA (so proud of my little city lately). I understand what being in the way of a nuke, great up in Omaha, just outside of Bellevue, NE where bush nuts ran to during 9/11. If the mcshame people have there way it will be probably more a probability that we do get nuked. I do know how to hide under my desk during an attack....great training from the catholic schools back in the 60's. I'm honestly scared more then I have ever been in my life, this I do know. Amazing, it wasn't supposed to be this way. Thank you stupid people, truly appreciate it.

22. Impressed also

He was so clear and laid out and followed a direct path and it was absolutely amazing to me as I had given up hope that he had it in him. Why did that one woman say that "oh they look at her and see just a pretty face". BLEH! I didn't see a pretty face. More bleached blond hair and plastic surgery. I am ashamed of being a natural blond.

[VaginaAmerican]

2. He was awesome. I actually DVRd it - have to watch it again.n/t

[lynettebro440]

4. I did too

I'm going to show my son when he gets home. He will feel the same way. It's so far and few times we actually get to see it. God it seems like it has taken forever.

[Fuzz]

7. I did too, wanted to make sure my wife caught the first segment

[malaise]

5. Good program today

I agree.

[lynettebro440]

8. Do you think ole Chris

just might be seeing the fact that every night the little ole "coughing" (I have a bet with my son that he's got some kind of cancer going on, he coughs all the time) Chris is seeing the light? Maybe he realizes Russert dropped dead, does he really want to be looked on in film clips of the future showing him being an asshole?

[stillcool]

9. I hope I didn't cause..

my husband to have a relapse. He hasn't been off the tweets sauce all that long, and I told him tonight he should watch. He was pretty busy working so only listened to the audio. I think it will be okay.

[Raine]

11. He was GREAT today

I was really impressed! :thumbsup:

[riverdeep]

12. THAT'S how you do journalism!

Couldn't believe it.

Here's the link for people who missed it.

[lynettebro440]

13. Can real journalism actually be starting again?

God I'm so ready for the intelligence to come back.

[pacalo]

18. Thanks for the heads up -- I've just set my dvr to catch the repeat.

[1776Forever]

19. I think he actually does feel the urgency of now! I salute him for his passion!

He was just as passionate this morning on Morning Joe too. I hope he stays this way now until the election! We need all the common sense we can get from the MSM although I wouldn't call MSNBC mainstream they do come through with KO and others glimpses at times.

Thank you Twitty! Tonight you rocked!

:yourock: :headbang: :headbang:

[lynettebro440]

20. If he can keep this up and we can get a few more on our side

they just MIGHT...and I say might as probably more slight...that we can have a chance. At least they are calling out this swift boat (oh hell lets call it what it really is) this BULLSHIT LYING that these assholes do is going to be critical. They better stay in an urgent mode and maybe more jumping on ship. I think they see that this is the popular now, so they all want to become popular. I only hope they keep doing it.

But I do love seeing it when it does happen.
