Another day, another letter to Tweety. I hope his handlers forward it.

Chris,

No one "misunderstood" you.

Got it?

It's as plain and simple as your show transcript.

Apologize. Don't be a part of the Karl Rove character assassination machine. I'd like to think you're better than that. Then again, I might be wrong. You'll let me know soon enough.

And if you believe what you said, and stand by it, have the courage to stand by it and not budge. Because as of Friday night, all the world got to witness was a coward trying to pull the wool over its eyes.

Looking forward to Monday's show. By the way...dump the "Hot Shots." They're an embarrassment to what has already become an embarrassing show. Sink as low as you want to, but eventually you'll hit bottom. You're very close.

Best regards,

5. I understood Bush's "bullhorn moment" when it happened...

...I was 3000 miles away from the Twin Towers on 9/11.

Didn't matter. Right here in sunny Silicon Valley California, people were TERRIFIED. Everybody and everything changed. You could see fear and disbelief and uncertainty in the eyes of every...single...person you passed on the street.

Up to that point, Bush seemed like a fool, a smirking frat boy incompetent who enjoyed his leisure time. When he stood on the rubble at Ground Zero, there was the possibility that he has been transformed by what had happened to our nation.

We were all shaken, scared, whatever you want to call it. We needed to believe in something. We didn't want to believe that this kind of thing could happen in the United States. We didn't want to believe that it could ever happen again.

So the bullhorn moment was proven to be the bullshit moment. Or maybe just for the moment it was 100% real, and Bush simply lacked the character and integrity to sustain it.

We'll never know. He'll never be that transparent, and the only way we'll ever know the truth is if it comes from the guy who held the bullhorn.

This is going to sound strange, but I believe that I'd respect him if he simply said "You know what? I just didn't give a fuck. I had an agenda. That's what I cared about. I took care of the people who took care of me, and fuck the rest. God Bless America." I wouldn't respect his words or actions...I'd respect his honesty. I don't believe we'll ever be on the receiving end of George W. Bush's honesty because he's simply not capable of delivering it.

If Hurricane Katrina proved anything, it's the fact that it's a damn sight easier to strum your guitar and suck cake off your fingers than it is to actually do your job.

8. Bush's bullhorn moment was just a lucky moment for him.

He was comfortable with a bullhorn from his cheerleading days at prep school and Yale. I don't think he said anything profound. And when you see how he followed through both with letting Bin Ladin get away, and cutting funds for the workers and survivors, you know it was only another strutting rooster act.

He should be sooo ashamed. And we should never let him forget it.

9. YEP !!!

He gets off on the big photo moment ... Top Gun II (Mission accomplished ...)

The fact is, ANY president with a pulse would have done what he did ... Is there any doubt that Clinton would have climbed up there and done the same thing ??? Is there any doubt that Kerry or Gore would have been up there and done the same thing ... Hell, Hillary would have done it ...

It simply was the thing to do at the time, difference is, other people would have done it because it was about being a leader ... He did it as part of the ego gratification trip he gets to have 5% of the time as president, while he is put off by having to deal with the minions the other 95% of the time ...

3. I'm tired of this sheep dog barking barking non-sense.

Taking orders from the White House must be a tough job? We know Phil Donahue would never stoop this low.

Chris Matthews has no problem bending over and then putting on the knee pads.

4. Rove. Has. Something. On. Him.

that's the only thing that explains much of tweety's behavior.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

6. Has something on him or has promised him something.

On Thursday's show, Don Imus was discussing how great it would be if "Senator Chris Matthews" became a reality.

It's not always about skeletons in the closet. Sometimes it's about dangling the right carrot in front of the right stooge.

7. When it looked like Rove was gonna be indicted, tweety was off the leash

snarling and growling at republican corruption.

My Tweety observations -

'04 hard as hell on bushbots, pissed that they took Kerry quotes out of context from Hardball for thier "flip-flop" BS, went after swifties when all other cableheads gave them free airtime, got under Zell's skin.

Then Rove cut him off. Matthews talked about it on Jon Stewart show.

no longer allowed to talk directly to bushbots. had to hire Ben Ginsberg to be a bushbot on his show. began to declare bush the winner of the debates (contrary to what everybody but fox was saying) etc.

05 looks like Rove is gonna be indicted. Tweety frothing at the mouth again. Best Plamegate coverage on TV, etc etc.

Then "washington conventional wisdom" says Rove in the clear. Tweety goes all right wing again.

There must be some Rove connection -- fear like I think, or promises made like you think.

:toast:

10. Oh GAWD, don't get me started on GINSBERG.

Tweety's also fond of John Fund and Deborah Orrin, but as much as I despise the two of them, when you put 'em both together they're not HALF as bad as grinning vulture Ginsberg.

[emulatorloo]

11. That group is the reason God invented Tivo and the fast-forward button n/t

[NCarolinawoman]

12. VERY VERY good analysis.

If Rove does go to trial ( I hope I hope), Tweety will most likely make another left turn.
