Please rec if you think Tweety's not so bad after all.

[Towlie]

I thought he did a great job with this "lipstick on a pig" thing this evening. What do you think?

[lamp_shade]

1. Chris Matthews.

[gateley]

2. You're so sweet - your PSA's informing those who don't know who we mean

by Tweety. I'm sure it's much appreciated. :hi:

[lamp_shade]

13. I'm sure it is.

:hi:

[Ian David]

3. He's good FOR NOW. But just wait for him to turn on us.

Thank god Sarah Palin doesn't send a tingle up his leg.

[Mabus]

11. My thoughts too

He's so unpredictable and inconsistent.

[orleans]

25. yeah, but just wait till he gets a wiff of her burma shave or whatever

the hell she wears--aqua velva--
it'll be all over after that!

[jannyk]

27. Yep. He blows with the prevailing wind. If he stuck to his RW,

Bush/Cheney dick sucking mode, he'd be right up there with Tucker and Joe - he just wants to hang on to his prime spot.

I'll never forgive him for the crap he used to spout about Bush being such a regular guy etc.. ad nauseum - NEVER!

[glinda]

34. Uneven

I don't like it when he just jumps in on every band wagon like a kid rushing for a popsicle. Tonight he was rational, real and had a conscience. Super job! It needs to get out to the "uninformed" though. Couric was pretty interesting and usually I don't like her. Bland. But tonight I think she did not like being in McCain's video AT ALL.

[tblue37]

37. Remember his comments about Bush's "sunny nobility" and

his manly package? Or his comment that only whackos don't like Bush?

Maybe his Catholic training is starting to make him feel that he needs to do penance.

[Stinky The Clown]

4. I think he's Chris Matthews

The same as he was last week, last month, last year.

[gateley]

5. I didn't see him, but I've always liked him. And gotten shredded a few times

here on DU for expressing that.

[lamp_shade]

22. Same here, Gately. I've always been a big admirer of his.

[ObamaKerryDem]

6. Well he tends to go back and forth, but he's been pretty sane as of late. ;) k&r

[Orsino]

7. He's pretty bad.

He could do a great job twenty nights running, and this wouldn't do much to alleviate the harm he's abetted over the years.

[Janice325]

8. Thanks. I'll have to catch the repeat..

I'm wondering if his recent stay in the hospital might have caused him to reevaluate some things. (No snark intended, okay?)
I'm glad the guy is back on the air, even if he can be annoying and shout sometimes.
When he is good, he is very, very good.

[yy4me]

9. If only I could be sure it would last. A day or two does not a

career make. If he keeps up the good work, I'll sign on later. I suppose I should be thankful that maybe he has seen the light--or the ratings.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

10. He gets a bad rap

Although his style is obnoxious, I don't think he's a right wing tool. It's just that everyone on this site thinks everyone on TV is a handmaiden of the far right, except for Rachel.

[mzmolly]

12. I like Chris, I love Keith.

Chris makes me angry at times, but when he's good, he's great.

[az chela]

14. Keith is rubbing off on him

[Just-plain-Kathy]

18. Chris just wants Keith's ratings.

:hi:

[Curtland1015]

15. I've always enjoyed Chris Matthews.

I don't always AGREE with him, but I find him entertaining.

[FatDave]

16. I'm not calling him Tweety anymore.

I'll call him Mr. Matthews as long as he keeps this up.

He goes back to sucking republican dick, and he'll be Tweety again.

[MrsCorleone]

17. I am going to add Tweety to my Tivo after a long, long ban.

But, he's so on probation with me.

[OnionPatch]

24. My feelings too.

I am cautiously optimistic that he's seen the light, but he's on probation with me as well.

[Kitty Herder]

19. He goes back and forth.

He's a flip-flopper. Good one week. Bad the next.

[KathieG]

20. He has been good lately

[FatDave]

21. OMFG!

He just called the "lipstick" uproar an "insult to our democracy".

Go Chris Matthews!

[fla nocount]

23. Compared to who, Russert , Chronkite or O'Really? n/t

[orleans]

26. did he say something right for a change? n/t

[ailsagirl]

28. I didn't realize he served in the Peace Corps

Speaking at the tenth anniversary party of his show, "Hardball", Matthews was critical of the Bush Administration, claiming that the Administration had been "caught in criminality." He did not specify what such "criminality" consisted of. During the same speech, he stated that the Administration had "pressured" his "bosses" in an attempt to silence him, that people were out to get him and strongly advised people not to drink the water.

[PlanetBev]

29. Tweety's a windsock

If McCain wins, he'll be slobbering over him from both sides of his mouth.

[mmonk]

30. He's fine. I watch him.

[City Lights]

31. I've enjoyed watching his last two shows enough that I'm gonna drop

GE TV a complimentary email.

[Raine]

32. Matthews is on fire!

Go Chris! :bounce:

[texasleo]

33. yup

[Uncle Joe]

35. I think he helped enable Bush to power. n/t

[LVjinx]

36. He's an absolute scumbag who now ADMITS he lied for Bush & Co about WMDs

That's like Colin Powell admitting the Bush administration was evil and incompetent the week AFTER the 2004 election.

Where was their integrity when it might have made a difference? It's nice that they were loyal to their bosses - what about their loyalty to their constituents? To the country itself?

That, and Matthews is a sexist scum. His "Hillary's only qualification is a stain on a dress" should have gotten him fired months ago.

[cboy4]

38. On election nights, Tweety is unbearable to watch.

He gushes after practically every Republican pick-up, to the point I'm close to throwing items at my plasma.
