1. I don't know. He blathers on and on, interrupts his interviewees and blathers on.

Doesn't do good interviews, just uses them as an excuse to blather on and on and on.

Early on I had them all pegged as wannabe royals in their own minds -- from the Mad King to the Crown Princess and on and on -- but it was only recently in a discussion about how Europe stumbled ass-backwards into WWI that I realized how apt Tweety's nickname was.

on your part. Remember, he will be 74 years old later this year, and he's probably getting tired of working a daily grind. He'll still want to cover the big stuff, but right now, there's not a lot of that to be found.

I'm on vacation in Spain. When I get back to my room at night, I listen to MSNBC on Tune-In (using a US-based VPN), so I'll know what's going on when I get home next week.

Tweety comes on at what is 1am out here. When he comes on, it's my signal to go to bed.
