Whoa... Is anyone watching Tweety demand answers about Obama's accomplishments

[ecstatic]

from State Senator Watson? So suddenly Tweety is pro Clinton? Or is he just being his usual anti-Dem self?

[VolcanoJen]

1. You answered your own question.

Welcome to TweetyLand.

[Emit]

2. lol, no kidding n/t

[KittyWampus]

3. it's always fun to guess which pill Tweety took, any given day

[Seen the light]

4. I felt bad for that Watson guy

Tweety pulled a bullshit move there to get back into the good graces of the Clintons. Trying to embarrass that guy is ridiculous.

[Bicoastal]

5. I guess the tingling sensation in his leg finally stopped...

Ass.

[ecstatic]

6. LOL. Good comeback by Keith O! nt

[adabfree]

12. KO by KO

[VolcanoJen]

16. Ha ha!!!

"KO by KO"

Good stuff!!

[SeattleGirl]

13. Damn, I missed that. What did he say? n/t

[WritingIsMyReligion]

21. What'd he say??

Loves me some KO....

:)

[tammywammy]

27. He asked him to name one legislative accomplishment by the Senate in the last 7 years

Matthews couldn't answer. LOL

[WritingIsMyReligion]

31. Tweety is an ass.

:rofl:

[tammywammy]

33. The crew was laughing off stage

When Keith asked it and Matthews couldn't answer. Then Matthew said something about playing "hardball" and Keith said, yeah but we're doing the election results. LOL.

[VolcanoJen]

36. It sounded like they were in a damned baseball stadium!!!

Damn, how large was their crew tonight! They were cracking up when KO smacked Tweety!!!

[meow mix]

7. he just burned this guy.. and then keith burned him

lmao

[Avalux]

8. Yes. He's being very rude and belligerent to Senator Watson.

Keith just asked Tweety to name one of Hillary's accomplishments over the past 7 years and he had NOTHING to say. What a complete ass.
He owes Senator Watson an apology.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

23. I thought he asked Tweety: what did the Senate acomplish

i.e did the senate accomplish anything in the past 7 years..

Not just what did Hillary accomplish.

But this answer needs to be ready.

I think people support Obama because:

he isn't Hillary

he inspired hope,

he changed the tone,

he promises change,

he involves the public,

he shows a respectful tone to all voters

I think his answers on immigration and health care need a ton of work.

I am an Obama supporter, I was having trouble choosing between Edwards and Obama,
and never supported Hillary - because of her vote for the war, and also that she
encouraged Bill to bomb Kosovo.

Hillary clearly is a hawk.

[RunningFromCongress]

Who's pro-obama now? There's a memo going to all Obama supporters now listing his accomplishments

I'm sure

[malik flavors]

19. They should have sent this memo a loooong time ago

Why do they allow people to go on national t.v. not knowing a thing about the candidate?? I've seen this happen numerous times.

[bilgewaterbill]

9. It's like meaningless yards at the end of the football game.

Looks good in the stats.

[Doctor_J]

10. Tweety is a right-wing shill

Now that our nominee has pretty much been picked, it will he difficult to get between his lips and McCain.

[CreekDog]

11. The State Senator apparently went into politics because he couldn't get the Carnival Barker position

nevertheless, Chris Matthews needs to feel my accomplishing a foot in his ass.

[bullwinkle428]

14. Now KO is totally busting his balls!!! "This isn't Hardball,

it's the Election Results!"

[woolldog]

15. Name his legislative accomplishments.

I guess Obama's representative doesn't read this site. Otherwise he would've been prepared to answer that question. ouch.

[Maven]

17. "So suddenly Tweety is pro Clinton?"

Oh, you poor soul.

You reallly don't see what's happening do you?

[billyoc]

18. Olberman fucking 0wnd him. nt

[Emit]

30. details please, no teevee here, thanks n/t

[billyoc]

32. See tammywammy's post upthread. nt

[Perky]

20. That was just ugly all around and pretty damn confrontational for Tweety.

The Guy got fileted and I have n problem with hime being asked the question..... but tweety hit him like three times.

[CreekDog]

22. Keith kicked Chris' ass!

I loved to hear the laughter in the studio after Keith said that.

For those who didn't hear:

Keith: "can you name 1 accomplishment of the united states' senate in the last seven years?"

Chris: "that's a broader question requiring broader preparation..."

Keith: "you don't have an answer to that one either..."

(laughter in the studio)

[eleny]

26. "But this is Hardball!

"No it's not! We're reporting the election returns!" - My loose paraphrasing.

Funny stuff to watch them tonight. Tweety's jump the shark moment and Keith saved the day with humor.

[ShortnFiery]

24. Tweety is like a whirling dervish serving the elite political class by keeping "The Pajama Hudeen"

(that's us by his definition) at each other's throats). I hold little to no respect for Tweety regardless who's ass he's kissing or attacking at any given moment. Just wait five minutes and you'll see him do an 180. :shrug:

[Coexist]

25. Anyone have an answer? If you don't - two quickies for you:

Nuclear non-proliferation and securing loose stockpiles of conventional weapons, like shoulder-fired missiles.

Ethics legislation the strongest ever brought forth (although he wanted it to be stronger).

[seafan]

28. That was unprofessional of Matthews by any standard applied.

Keith immediately asked Chris if HE could name anything the Senate has accomplished in the last 7 years.... Chris hemmed and hawed and said that it 'would require much more study than he was prepared to report on tonight.' (paraphrased)


IMHO, Chris really embarrassed himself in his shoddy treatment of Texas State Senator Watson.

[VolcanoJen]

29. Note to Obama's Rapid Response and Prep Shop:

Here's how you answer that question:

"It is going to take this historic election to achieve the changes Senator Obama has worked for all of his life, because of the gridlock that has paralyzed, and honestly, disheartened this nation, ever since the impeachment of President Clinton taught conservatives that attack politics work and that the politics of hope are moot."

[K Gardner]

34. That would not have satisfied Tweety. The Senator tried this. Tweety shouted him down and said: LIST

HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS..NOW!!!!! NOW !!!

I've never heard anything like it.

[VolcanoJen]

35. He's a smug, self-satisfied asshat.

Should serve as a warning to Obama's crew, though... don't send supporters out without being fully prepped.

[K Gardner]

43. Absolutely, they ALL need to be prepared like a Boy Scout !

[ecstatic]

40. I saw Tweety punk Kucinich this way in '03 or maybe '04

It was embarrassing and sad. Tweety only tries this approach with certain people--people who he knows are too nice to fight back.

[VolcanoJen]

44. Exactly.

He'd never try that shit with Obama himself, or someone like Axelrod. Or Kerry. Or Kennedy.

[Connie_Corleone]

39. That's what he tried to do and Tweety didn't want any of it.

The man should've known Obama's accomplishments. If you go on TV supporting a candidate, you better know his record.

[pdxmom]

37. This was Tweety trying to prove that he didn't really have a leg tingle

last week.

[tammywammy]

38. He's probably pissed about how much people made fun of him over that comment

It was weird when he said it too. :crazy:

[K Gardner]

41. I didn't think about that, sounds strange, but you may really have a

point. There is something mentally off about Tweety anyway, so this may be his subconcious way of getting out from under the Obama Man Crush thing. Good catch.

[VolcanoJen]

45. Tweety's been in pain ever since Jon Stewart took him to the woodshed.

Shortly after Jon showed him what an Alpha Dog is, Tweety was on his own show, whining to his co-conspirators that "Jon Stewart is really short and I think that had something to do with it."

;-)

[K Gardner]

46. OMG.. rofl.. I saw Jon get him but hadn't heard the rest !

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

42. I think this is a right wing talking point.

I heard this same tactic being used by Neal Boortz on his show today. The woman caller was pretty good as she was able to come up with Head of Harvard Law Review and 20 years in the Illinois state legislature, but Boortz kept snarling, "so what! so what!"

Strange that Tweety and Boortz were singing from the same hymnbook.

I don't remember Tweety being so stringent about "accomplishments" with W.
