    Tweety (5.00 / 1) (#1)
    by Big Tent Democrat on Tue Feb 19, 2008 at 07:53:43 PM EST
    Now and forever. Always Tweety.

    Yup (5.00 / 1) (#32)

    Partly because of his attitude to Clinton, but he is annoying in general. I noticed that when I first watched him four years ago. Always cutting of the guest and talking over them. Why not just do an hour long monologue?

    I used to not be able to watch Fox, now MSNBC is on that list. Not so much because I like Clinton but I can't take the bias. It just grates on my nerves, I've actually started to look at Fox a little again. Some of there stuff doesn't seem a bad as it did a few years ago.

    Carl Berstein gets my vote but I haven't watched Tweety in a couple of hours.

    I leap for the channel changer when he comes on. I've said that every election night so far.

    I do like John King and Chuck Todd.

    Russert Calls Women Over 50 (5.00 / 1) (#11)
    by Jeralyn on Tue Feb 19, 2008 at 08:07:56 PM EST
    Aging white women.

    Black mark for him.

    Women over 50 are middle-aged or older, they are not geriatric or aging or aged. At least on this blog.

    you gotta quit watching MSNBC

    they aren't liberal
    they aren't progressive
    they aren't democrats
    they aren't fair

    Witness:

    • Joe Scarborough
    • Tucker Carlson
    • Chris Matthews

    even their toss-ins...
    • Tim Russert
    • Howard Fineman
    • Pat Buchanon

    will piss me off

    Thus it only leaves Keith and Rachel Maddow and they aren't worth the indignity that you have to put up with to hear them.

    ...sweaty lately?  Like he's just had a really intense colonoscopy without taking the sedative first?  I mean, it's like he's uncomfortable even sitting in front of the camera, and the hair at his temples looks all frizzy and...well, sweaty.

    Anyway--my choice for worst is Brazille.  She is just egregiously nasty.  Only a woman could attack another woman as viciously as she does Clinton.

    (and I've already done my treatise on the evolutionary guile of MoDo, so I won't say it here again)

    Way too many a whole stable full.  Why there is enough rump roast to feed the army.  They must have a contest, who can be the biggest one.  Olberman lately is in my crosshairs, cause of all this drama of trying to be Murrow and all he did is try to out Tweety, Tweety.  So, for my bucks, Olberman for doing a fake out.  (which I never bought, his language was so contrived in those commentaries, made me cringe)

    Washington primary. It may not last but so far it is 49-47. It says 100% counted but I don't see how it could be. But I forgot, caucuses matter.

    How can that happen? Are they still adding in absentee votes, or provisional ballots, or ...?

    She was, of course, entirely surrounded by several men on CNN, and all but one was white.  But they loved them their Gloria for saying that.

    ... is how can anyone watch that stuff? I can barely stand when Air America Radio is doing election coverage, much less the television machine. I follow the numbers at cnn.com instead.

    My wife watches that stuff sometimes, but I think it's just because they have Olbermann doing it.
