Tweety just said Fred Thompson strikes him as the "ultimate daddy" from the "daddy party"--a term

[flpoljunkie]

Matthews said he coined in an article he wrote years ago.

What a piece of work Tweety is!

[GCP]

1. Tweety has a thing for male authority figures

Even actors who display such traits on film. It must be related to his Jesuit schooling, there's really no other explanation.

[Jack Rabbit]

15. Yes, like when he went gaga over the Frat Boy in a flight suit

!!

[BlueStater]

2. Sounds like Matthews has a new man-crush

Apparently, Rudy and McCain couldn't satisfy him.

[Bill McBlueState]

3. and I suppose Dems are the "mommy party"

How original. :eyes:

Dads and moms can both fill a variety of roles in the home. As a soon-to-be-dad, I'm annoyed by the implication that there is something dad-like about the way Republicans do business.

[flpoljunkie]

6. You are correct. Matthews is truly a piece of work.

[Botany]

4. and here is daddy w/ his granddaughter er .... wife

[Mojambo]

7. This man will not be President, ever.

When "values" voters get a look at this pairing... forget about it.

[BeyondGeography]

8. Sorry, Tweets, he's taken

[KingofNewOrleans]

11. Maybe if Tweety got some implants

Thompson would give him a looksie.

[MrModerate]

5. Assuming that Matthews is right about Thompson . . .

Projecting a comforting "daddiness" -- as unlikely as it is that Matthews would be right about *anything* -- has he considered that the American people don't want a new relative? We've just been through 7 years of our irresponsible older brother running things, and that hasn't exactly worked out well.

How about a public servant, a professional, a leader in the the president's office?

[IndianaGreen]

9. I don't understand this infatuation with Fred Thompson

A fine actor, but he was an empty suit in the Senate. Without his cue cards, Thompson is a very boring speaker.

[tularetom]

10. Well....maybe an "OK" actor definitely an empty suit

[The Count]

13. Slim pickings in the GOP race - he keeps looking for "HIM"

oh, Tweety, you romantic slut, you! Eternal optimist!

[The Count]

12. "Who's your Daddy?" Tweety needs a dominatrix badly!

[David Zephyr]

14. Sorry, Chris: It was Bill Clinton who first called the GOP "the daddy party".

[ashling]

16. Wait a minute!!!

I thought it was Howard K. Stern or that other guy? Now you tell me that Fred Thompson is the Daddy?

This is even too creepy for Law & Order. :sarcasm: (nothing is to creepy for Law & Order)

[Ninja Jordan]

17. The Hunt for Red November

lmao
