Chris "Tweety" Matthews will be giving a $28 per head talk 16 miles from my house on Thursday

[Amerigo Vespucci]

It would almost be worth going there, paying the $28, buying a copy of his crappy book for him to sign just to ask him how he could say "He (Bush) looks great in that cowboy costume he wears when he goes West" on national TV with a straight face.

:evilgrin:

1. He was just interviewed on C-Span live about his book

I only caught the last 15 minutes in which he said he'll probably vote Dem for the presidency next year because the Repubs are all for keeping the war going. In other words, no change from current policy. They scare him - or so he says.

One of his better moments in the interview.

2. Wow ! did I ever mis-read that subject line....

Scrolled so fast, I thought it said, ....well, it looked like you were saying something else. :rofl:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

5. No, for the $28, you only get to hear him TALK.

:spank:

:evilgrin:

[Crabby Appleton]

11. Me too, I was thinking they'd have to pay me more than $28

[mitchtv]

3. Bring Pie

the only reason to go:boring: Maybe he'll do an in depth piece on Hillary's "incessant" hand clapping

[cboy4]

4. Wow. I rarely watch his free show because he's like

fingernails on a chalk board.

I can't imagine paying a nickel to listen to him in person.

6. A waste of 28 bucks,

and I would not go 16 feet to see tweety,
much less 16 miles.

28 bucks = 9 gallons of gas, I would rather
have the gas (of any kind :P)

7. Perhaps in lieu of the $28

you could pay him in Lithium.... (for his seeming schizophrenia).

[liberalnurse]

8. I did....and got my books signed.

It was fun. You could sell you unwanted copy on E-Bay.

[Skidmore]

9. Or to ask him if * showed him his "sunny nobility."

[old guy]

10. Lets see,

$28 and leave dumber than when I entered. I don't think so.

[Ishoutandscream2]

12. Just treat yourself to half a tank of gasoline

Don't waste your dough on Tweety.

[UTUSN]

13. Is 28 some kind of Tweety anagram for GOULIANI and/or 9-11?!1 n/t

[graywarrior]

14. Shroud yourself in plastic

He spits.
