Tweety is officially insufferable...

[PCIntern]

New book out so it's: Tip this and Reagan that and Tip and Me (sic) and Reagan and me (sick) and it just goes on and on about how he was "There" like Zelig or Forrest Gump...

Run, Tweety, Run!!!!

[JoePhilly]

1. Was just thinking the same thing. I needed to change XM stations.

[PCIntern]

5. Hey JoePhilly...

We both may need to change our avatars...it is gonna be a long time before we see any playoffs in this town!!!

[JoePhilly]

8. lol ... no kidding ... the only potential upside for me is that ...

... the entire NFC East is so terrible, that the Eagles could still win the division.

Not likely, but at this pace, the Eagles and everyone else in the NFC East might have a shot at the playoffs up until the last game of the season.

16. This Giant fan is holding the same hope

The division sucks so 9-6 or even 8-8 could make the playoffs.

[PCIntern]

21. Are you a Giant Fan or an Air Conditioner? nt

2. He's always been insufferable

But in the past few months he's said some things that have falsely made him seem more reasonable, so people have been inferring credibility where there truly isn't any.

He's crap, has been crap for years, and will continue to be crap for a long time to come.

[PCIntern]

4. I wrote a massive post anti-Tweety in 2004 and got

pilloried for it here. It turned out to be exactly 100% correct.

[Orrex]

12. LOL. Wish I'd seen it!

Back on DU2 I got blasted for criticizing Maureen Dowd, too.

It's weird how certain media heads are given so much credit for doing so little of value.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. It's worse than his constant nattering about his last book

which was about JFK, so he was comparing everything that happened to something in the Kennedy administration and then he'd go on about how that thing was in his book, blah blah blah. This is worse because he worked fo O'Neill so now we get to hear about how Tweety himself was in the midst of it all and it was just like what's happening now only what we did was blah blah blah...

That guy is so full of himself.

[BainsBane]

6. Why do you all watch him then?

Since you don't like him? I actually kind of like him but don't watch him as much as folks around here.

[cynatnite]

7. I actually like him, too.

Sometimes I don't like what he says, but that's okay, too.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. I don't, at least not intentionally.

But he's started turning up on some of the other MSNBC shows now to flog his book, and sometimes he's there when you least expect him and can't grab the remote fast enough.

[BainsBane]

15. Gotcha

They do love to promote their own. I myself have lost all patience for cable news in the past few months.

[Buns_of_Fire]

23. If you watch ANYTHING on MSNBC these days, it's kinda hard to miss him.

I haven't seen him crashing the commercials yet, but it's probably only a matter of time.

Just to clarify: I usually catch "Hardball" in the evenings. I kinda like him. But I think I've gotten the message by now: Yes, he wrote a new book. Yes, it's about the great working relationship between the Tipper and the Gipper. No, thank you, it doesn't interest me, and I don't really care about how their Great Relationship contrasts to today's reality. Now please STFU about it and do what MSNBC pays you for.

9. Reagan was the original ...

Teabagger.

[leftynyc]

18. Reagan was a "liberal"

in comparison to this group of clowns. Raising taxes, amnesty - they would have thrown him from the ledge.

[ladjf]

10. Tweety is a light weight. nt

[Whisp]

11. like Zelig or Forrest Gump...

[Kingofalldems]

14. Tweety should write a book about the night

he and G Gordon Liddy went orgasmic over Bush and his codpiece.

[kiranon]

17. I enjoy listening to him. n/t

[TreasonousBastard]

19. I thought he had a good interview on Fresh Air yesterday...

but I rarely watch him and haven't developed this unnatural hatred.

[arthritisR_US]

20. Ya, he really is. Such a self promoting windbag!

[tavernier]

22. Geesh... Poor tweety can't win.

I miss his half hour Sunday show; it used to come on here right after David Gregory's Meet the Republicans, and it helped to cleanse the pallet. Now they've moved it to something like 4 a.m. Don't want to piss off Mr. Gregory or his Dancing With the Stars partner, kkkkarl.

[Motown_Johnny]

24. you are ~3 years behind the curve

[PCIntern]

26. You obviously haven't been reading my posts since 2004

when I would be enraged by every word he utterred praising Bush the Younger and Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeney...

[Motown_Johnny]

27. I can't keep track

But Tweety has been insufferable for some time now

[PCIntern]

28. Just kidding!

[rl6214]

25. I've always found him to be insufferable

[tularetom]

29. He was there for all the high level meetings between Reagan and Tip O'Neill

Except when they sent him out to get more coffee or down to the deli for some sandwiches.

He is desperate to convince us that he is the ultimate DC insider on a first name basis with all the big name politicians (as if that would impress anybody).

But no matter how much he tries to polish the turd, the fact remains he was basically a fuckin gofer. If we could dig up Reagan and O'Neill and ask them what they thought about Matthews, we'd probably get a quizzical look as they tried to remember just which one of the worker bees he actually was.

[lunatica]

30. He had his wife 'interview' him on his show yesterday

So he could talk about his book.

[PCIntern]

31. Yeah...how modest of him...logrolling in our time as SPY mag used to call it.

[a kennedy]

32. Kinda reminds me of Barbara Walters.....retire and get off my TV.

[malaise]

33. It's disgusting how he behaves when he's hawking a book

I can't watch him in this mode
