I'm listening to Terry Gross interview Tweety and he's talking about...

[TreasonousBastard]

how when he worked for Tip O'neill Reagan and O'neill were polar opposites but they shared a respect for the nation and the government that allowed them to make deals. No matter how they disagreed, or even hatred each other for a while, the country came first. Nothing like this bullshit now. And, btw, nobody's putting much blame on Obama or our side here-- it's all on the other side.

They talk about a lot of other things, too, and it's actually more interesting than watching Tweey on his own show.
