It's Night at the Improv with Tweety on Spitball...

[Berry Cool]

When he ended his interview with Dan Bartlett, he congratulated him on "14 years of service with not a hint of scandal."

I guess that's what counts as a sterling resume in this administration, eh? No scandals!

Pure comedy gold. :rofl:

1. ha....you beat me to the punch. that was just about my exact response.

maybe he'll put it on his tombstone:

"14 years, and I never got caught!"

[Bitwit1234]

2. Maybe he was premature...after all they are still turning over rocks.

Barlett's fraud might be under one of them.

3. Berrybush, how did you like the way David Gregory sprang to Bush/Bartlett's defense when

Michael Wolfe wondered why, after all these years, Bartlett couldn't hang on at such a crucial point in the 'presidency'

he actively questioned what the real motive for the stepdown was.

while Gregory made the 'plausible' point that EVERY point in this presidency has been critical, (thanks for doing your best to keep the public thinking there has EVER been any legitimacy of anything they've ever done) he was actively putting the best face on the situation, sounding more like Tony Snow than a member of the fourth estate

Gregory's sad decline accelerates further into freefall

5. I missed that part.

Too bad. I used to like Stretch for being so tough at pressers but lately it seems someone's been spiking his drinks with Bushco Kool-Aid. The way he was sort of complicit in Imus's show by going on it so much, the dancing to MC Rove...it bugs me. Even if * did threaten his children. I think he's "going Washington" like Tweety...starting to care more about hobnobbing with the powers that be than doing his job.

But at least I still got another good laugh. A commercial came on for Bill O'Reilly, in which he asserted that "We start with facts. Facts, facts, facts." :rofl:

10. I noticed how very careful Gregory was

He tiptoed around Bartlett, and he tilted his face downward when the other guests were criticizing Bush/Bartlett. I was quite dismayed.

[Skidmore]

4. Did you like his little rendering of "For he's a jolly good fellow...?"

And who was that little twerp with the book teaching kids to hate liberals? He was a loathesome specimen. He'll be the new Tom Delay in about 10 years, or at least he's striving to be.

[Berry Cool]

6. I had to turn the sound down on that idiot.

I only keep Tweety on until Keith (and I don't even know if Keith's back tonight). Certain people make me turn his sound down on sight...Ken Blackwell, Kate O'Beirne...this guy is just as bad.

To add: Jim Cramer was next, so I would have hit the mute anyway. My ears can't take that guy.

[Gabi Hayes]

7. "Help! There's a LIBERAL Under My Bed!" did you see that book?

I only saw a little bit of that; more than enough to make me want to 'discipline' that little mugwort very severely

one saving grace: his 'opponent' was the saintly Francis Moore Lappe, she of Diet for a Small Planet, and other visionary works

if only people like her were given even a small percentage of the time monsters like Pat Buchanan are afforded

[Gabi Hayes]

8. Jim Moore (Bush's Brain) is NAILING Dan Bartlett on Olbermann

he's talking about Bartlett's immediate apppointment to minding the National Guard coverup.

he's only worked for Rove and Bush since he got out of college

they showed my favorite picture, too



Moore: "They never show pictures of rats swimming TOWARD a sinking ship"

you MUST see this segment. Moore is just giving it to Bartlett like nobody I've ever seen, saying Bartlett has NEVER received the scrutiny he deserves, including helping put the good face on a terrible war

once again Olbermann's show puts the others to shame, with real journalism, even though it wasn't Keith on the show tonight

[grasswire]

11. He did lay it out.

He said that Bartlett's job early on was to scrub the TANG records and he took one for Bush then, and this would work to his favor when he's looking for a job -- that prospective employers would remember that he could take the bullet and keep his mouth shut. (paraphrase)

[Berry Cool]

12. Moore was great.

His money line of the night was the one about how everyone seems to think it's just dandy that Bartlett's going home to spend more time with his family, but thanks to the war he helped his master sell, many people will never be able to go home and spend time with THEIR families again.

9. outrageous

What the hell is Tweety smoking???

What does he think treason is, if not scandal?
