Did you think tweety could never top his GWB sycophancy?

from the past:

“We’re proud of our president. Americans love having a guy as president, a guy who has a little swagger, who’s physical.” [5/1/03]

— “Sometimes it glimmers with this man, our president, that kind of sunny nobility.” [10/25/05]

—: “I like him. Everybody sort of likes the president, except for the real whack-jobs, maybe on the left.” [11/28/05]

— “A little bit of Lincoln there, I think,” referring to Bush finally admitting that telling Iraqi insurgents to “bring it on” in 2003 “sent the wrong signal to people.” [5/25/06]

Here's the consummate self-promoter ululating last night, fawning in the most slobbering manner over Scalia; this is TRULY nauseating:

He was boasting about their friendship.

Tweety is DNC on steroids and a total and complete contradiction on most matters Catholic.

He had two aunts who were nuns...he's as Catholic as my late mother and you don't know the half of that.

In A Three Minute Monologue, Matthews Gushes Over Bush’s ‘Great Neo-Conservative Mind’

by Matt Corley Aug 9, 2007 6:49 pm

Immediately following President Bush’s press conference today, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews spent three unbroken minutes fawning over the president’s “powerful rendition” of his “philosophy” without uttering a single critical word. “I thought in listening to the president, I was listening to one of the great neoconservative minds,” gushed Matthews.

Calling Bush “powerful” on three separate occasions, Matthews marveled at the president’s defense of his foreign policy:


''We were given a rare opportunity to hear the real philosophy of this administration with regard to the war in Iraq. A powerful rendition by the president of why we’re there. When he talked about the fact that we can support emerging democracies in the Middle East, and that’s the only way we can prevent future 9/11’s, you’re getting to the heart of why this administration is fighting that war in Iraq.''

babbling in "admiration at Scalia's certitude" in all things legal.....shouldn't have used quotes. that was a (close) paraphrase.

He was, once again, oozing unctuous praise. simply nauseating
