Tweety: Dems think conventions are fun! Hardball live now!

[senseandsensibility]

Positive Tweety seems to be continuing, at least for now.

1. SNAP!

He just called out the McCain Camp. If they love Hillary so much, then pick her for VP!

[senseandsensibility]

4. Heard that!

I think this new show may just be worth watching.

2. Ya beat me to it!

great minds and all that

[pdxmom]

3. He just said that if McSame thinks Hillary would have been such a

wonderful VP pick, then he should pick her, or take down his ads.

5. This is the good Tweety

May he live long and prosper.

6. I think we should call him Chris, or Mr. Matthews....

Sure, he has irritated most of us in the past, but I think his nickname around here does not show proper respect.

BTW, I used to call Chris "Tweety", too.

Also, always enjoy reading your comments and OP's, SandS.

:hi:

edited to add a "t" in Matthews

7. You know I've read that from other posters

Many DUers seem ready to forgive and forget. It's likely that you and the others are just nicer and more truly liberal than I am. I'm just not there yet. If he makes it through the rest of this campaign without being unfair to our candidate any more than he is unfair to the other side, I'll be right there with you.:hi:

12. But "Obama Lover" is a-ok

Tweety is certainly low on the list of nicknames to get upset over anyway.

10. Chris Matthews n/t

[otohara]

11. He's An Obama Fan

no doubt about it - and yeah, the Tweety thing needs to die.

18. I don't call him Tweety to be insulting.

It's honestly automatic to me. I actually think of is as rather affectionate. When I'm mad at or irritated with him, it's "F***ing Tweety" or "Matthews." :)

On a side note, I also really don't see the need to show "proper respect" to a newsperson. It's not like most of them have done much to earn it.

22. I think nicks can be derogatory or affectionate-- it really depends on the usage.

I've certainly seen some people use Tweety and have the scorn just dripping off their words but I've also seen them use that moniker with a fair amount of affection. So I think that Tweety is a suitable name for him.

9. David Schuster's Report on 69 Convention

was great - lots of great footage.

[senseandsensibility]

13. Scary times

It was a good report, and should put any "bad blood" during this convention into perspective.

14. Dem Conventions are fun..

it's the repuke conventions that spawn purple bandaid hags who diss our military and those who served and serve with Honor.

Are they going to ever be held accountable for that?

[Skidmore]

15. I was beginning to wonder if he has a snootful already.

He was definitely having a good time.

[senseandsensibility]

16. LOL

At least he didn't act like the "journalists" covering the Dem convention for CNN in 2004. I remember they wouldn't crack a smile the whole time asnd kept sighing. It was different story for the R's of course.

17. when he's good, he's actually really fun to watch.

[goodgd_yall]

19. I enjoyed watching him talk with the crowd

I like his enthusiasm.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

20. I think he really gets a kick out of

events like this. Just don't lapse back into that man-crush on Grampy, Chris, and everything will be fine.

21. He will do a 180 on the night of Obama's speech after it is over.

I remembered they trashed Kerry endlessly after his convention (especially after he did not get a bump).
