Tweety's imitation of Schuster on today's show is not half bad

[Hamlette]

Rep Steve King said he's never been able to find out what Libby lied about and you can't have obstruction of justice of lying under oath unless there is an underlying crime. Tweety jumped on him asking what the underlying crime was in Clinton's case and finally said: if you don't know what Libby lied about you are not well informed because anyone who following this case knows.

1. Tweety hasn't been bad on the Libby case

but with Shuster presenting hard facts, he doesn't have much choice.

3. Um Shuster works for Tweety -- Tweety turned Shuster loose on this story

because Tweety has always thought it was important

5. Shuster works for Tweety???

He works for MSNBC and files story for Tucker, KO and Joe/Dan as well as Tweety.

6. Read this story in his hometown paper -- he works for Hardball/Matthews

The Bloomington native encountered a markedly different culture when he jumped to NBC/MSNBC in June 2002. "One of the first things that happens is you're given a 50-page manual of standards and practices … and you immediately sense this is an organization that cares very deeply about journalistic integrity."

Despite the sometimes abrasive tone of program host Chris Matthews, Shuster said he greatly respects the former print columnist's devotion to accuracy and detail. "He doesn't just ask tough questions on the air. He asks every person on the staff tough questions, and if there is a hole in your reporting or research, he finds it," he said.

Would the former Bloomingtonian like to sit in Matthews' chair some day? "I'm only 38 years old, and it's not something I'm focusing on right now, but I'm sure that some day, NBC will see, in their wisdom, such a place for David Shuster," he said with a laugh.

ON EDIT -- remember, it was Matthews who tipped off Joe Wilson that Karl Rove was calling reporters saying "Wilson's wife is fair game."

Also it is Matthews who enraged Cheney and Libby with his coverage of the 16 Words -- so much so that Libby called Russert to complain.

7. Since Tweety and Russert were technically a part of the Plame leaks story

Maybe they should have let someone else cover it.

2. LOL, Tweety's had it rough since the Presidential debates, hasn't he?

The way everyone on DU was buzzing about Shuster's performance, I think he'd better cut down on his vacation time!

4. I'd watch Schuster, but not Tweety.
