Matthews did it again...

[babylonsister]

lambasting rethugs for their obstructionism throughout the past 4 years. It was a thing of beauty.

I don't think I'll be calling him tweety for awhile.

1. Agree. I take Tweety breaks some times

Then he smears liberals like we are the same as right wing sheep.
(upi402 drags out the Tweety Bird punching bag again)

2. Gotta keep truth in the mainstream! K & R

3. MSNBC was the #1 cable news channel last night in primetime....

We’re checking records, but it may be the first time in the network’s 16 years of existence it has ever won a night.*

9. WOW! Great news, and great exposure for Rachel and Chris, and everybody! nt

[bluestateguy]

4. He has been in a pissy mood of late

and as long as he turns that on Repubicans, fine with me. But I hear that he has been pissy with his colleagues and staff of late.

[roguevalley]

7. he's old school. he hates racism and big fat liars. also, honor matters.

[BattyDem]

5. I agree. No more "Tweety"

Chris Matthews ... please keep doing what you're doing!

[tridim]

8. I never considered "Tweety" derogatory, it's just his funny nickname.

I bet Chris likes it.

[babylonsister]

11. It's been used in a derogatory manner

here since I've been here; and I'm guilty also. Also endearing...it's complicated.

[BattyDem]

15. Exactly!

[malaise]

12. Same here

Go Tweety!!!

[JI7]

16. isn't he called Tweety because he is has a big yellow head like Tweety

it's kind of affectionate .

[BattyDem]

18. Supposedly, his staff nicknamed him "Tweety" because of his yellow hair

I don't know how true that is. I believe the only source for that info was Media Whores Online and they're long gone. Depending on the mood here, it can be either affectionate or derogatory. As babylonsister said ... it's complicated!

Anyway, after saying I wasn't going to call him Tweety anymore, I now realize that I didn't always use that name to be mean. I like the guy. I've been frustrated with him in the past ... but I do like him. Maybe it is a term of endearment ... and maybe it always has been.

[JI7]

20. it can be used in a negative way,but not in the same category

as Rush Limbaugh= Limpballs. or reince preibus=rinse penis, rancid pubis etc

tweety is more like a tease . or one of those nicknames you give a kid for something silly and it just kind of sticks and ends up being more affectionate with time.

[BattyDem]

22. That's the perfect way to describe it!

[TeamPooka]

6. They call him Mister Matthews! :)

[Honeycombe8]

10. I call him Tweety as a term of endearment. I like him. nt

[thelordofhell]

13. He's been watching his son shame the media for the last few weeks.......

14. *What* did he do now!1 But I will always call him "Tweety"

(He's got a lot of debt to pay)

[WI_DEM]

17. Can't 'Tweety' be an affectionate term, too?

[Evergreen Emerald]

19. He called himself tweety once. He said "tweety got twitter."

That is when I knew he is part of our community.

[lillypaddle]

23. Thank you

I hope more follow suit.
