It was ugly, but what really struck me was how old and haggard Tweety looked. Gone was the boyish charm that once seemed refreshing in the distant past. He kinda looked like Tony Snow today. Wonder if Tweety has marital problems and has to sleep on the couch. That might explain his appearance and his hitting on any woman that he sets eyes upon.</p> I don’t watch Tweety much, but he was on KO’s Countdown yesterday and so I bit the bullet and watched him bluster without giving KO a word edgewise.

He so clearly has serious sexual hangups, it comes out every time he has a woman guest. You’d think at some point that he would be embarrassed by these sophomoric emotional displays, but he seems oblivious, even proud of them.</p> Not long ago, I sent Tweety a comment that, more or less was, “Please hire a dominatrix that looks like Hillary and get it out of your system!” With that Laura Ingraham nonsense, it’s obvious that he didn’t take my advise.

That gives them a pretty solid 7-9 hour but Tucker is too soft on numbers and his poor lead at 6 is dragging it down. Abrams emergency fillin at 9 is #3 for the group. Remember that both the 8 and 9 hour are fighting Faux shows that the personality has all day to self promote on their respective political radio shows. I would like to see Paula Zahn to MSNBC with a slot in that 4 hr block of 6-10….her anger at CNN should give good energy for that.</p> It’s about the ratings….Keith is king now with Chrissie playing backup…just a few months ago it was the other way.

Each time he does it, about once a week, I feel like I need an immediate shower. He’s obviously going through a classic mid-life sexual crisis. I can’t help but wonder how his wife feels about these ongoing embarrassments.</p> So, so right about Matthews’ recurrent adolescent sexual fantasies.

He can’t decide which one to follow…

Still and all, it is good to see him turn his steamship of constant stupidity into the wind.

Wasn’t it Matthews who slobbered all over the war when it started.

His conversion may represent one of those unspoken mea culpas that egotists tend to offer in lieu of a real apology.

There is one argument for continued U.S. involvement in Iraq that haunts me. It’s the argument that goes, “We broke it. We own it. We are morally obligated to fix it.”

How do y’all respond to that argument when it is presented that starkly?

It’s a marketing slogan, not the law.

UN Resolutions say an occupying force cannot change a society in any significant way, specifically with regard to it’s government.

It doesn’t say ‘do anything you want since you own it’.

I wonder how many people haven’t yet noticed that ‘one off’ comments by the administration enable it’s criminal behavior. Well, a lot of those were prepared ahead of time and were/are part of ‘the plan’ to gain support and acquiescence for their behaviors.

They are manipulating people and they must be stopped!
