Why is Tweety taking "credit" for "launching" Michelle Bachman?

[housewolf]

He proudly stated that "she got her start around here", and twice already bragged that his show "launched" her.

What's up with THAT?????

1. Maybe he cracked a champagne bottle over her head?

:shrug:

2. This may have been asked here before...

(like a million times) but...

Why does anybody watch him?

[valerief]

3. Why are you watching Tweety?

:shrug:

[alsame]

4. Because she made the comments about wanting a

McCarthy type investigation of 'UnAmerican' members of Congress on Hardball a few years ago.

6. Yeah - I saw that

it was Batshit's national coming out party. Even Matthews couldn't believe what he was hearing and tried to help her walk it back. She refused and bulled straight ahead. What passes for her brain is more dense than metallized hydrogen.

9. According to him

She was already known for batshit crazy well before that. Maybe Tweety didn't know that.

[hifiguy]

10. He probably didn't know

though there is so much Tweety doesn't know it is hard to tell. But at that point it was pretty much only people from Minnesota who knew just how far down the rabbit hole she is.

12. A bunch of us down here in Texas knew

but Matthews thinks that everything is about him . . . sort of like Palin ... and Bachman

[polichick]

7. Yep - that's the moment he refers to. I saw it and laughed at what a nut she is.

[Suich]

5. It was on his show that Bachman

suggested that members of Congress should be investigated for "un-American" activities.

[ashling]

8. He is an idiot

its that simple

[ecstatic]

11. I had never heard of her prior to when Chris pwned her

in the interview where she ranted against anti-American congressmen and Obama. Seems like after that interview, she took off.
