1. ooooooooooohhhh

Mehtinks this is a good omen. :popcorn:

[babylonsister]

2. He also must be thinking today could be the day...for something.

:scared:

[sallyseven]

3. He wants Libby to get off.

Tweety is just a repuke. I have observed his comments off an on through this mess. He lies so he is worried that telling the truth might become fashionable.

[H2O Man]

4. clown n/t

[havocmom]

5. clown whose brother may run for office again?

;)

[H2O Man]

6. I have no idea

if the person's brother is running for office. However, the comment on Matthews should a total lack of knowledge on where he stands.

[havocmom]

7. Opps, thought Matthews was who you were referring to.

Was wondering if his brother still had political aspirations.

[H2O Man]

10. No.

Anyone who has watched the trial knows that it is because of Matthews' accurate reporting on Cheney, Libby and the yellow cake lies that Scooter placed his call to Russert .... and that call will help convict him. Joe Wilson makes clear on page 1 of his book that Matthews was one of the keys to helping him in the case. Those who continue to take cheap shots at him are either ignorant when it comes to the case, or not on the same side as Wilson and Matthews.

16. Tweety is a schizophrenic personality - with that said, he never employs standard

journalistic integrity to anything he does. He isn't in the game for honest discussion and/or reporting but to further his own lame opinions and massage his massive ego. He just can't shut up and listen to anyone. He talks over his own damn guests. Corrects THEM as if he is the font of all wisdom.

Example - Tweets is still pushing the idea that Hillary was claiming that Bill was a "bad man" in her comment a couple of weeks ago. Never mind that many people, including myself, thought Hill was discussing Ken Starr and the vast reichwingnuts who were out to destroy the entire family. Tweets brought it up - again - on his show last night. He mentions it every damn night - no matter who is on. Keeps implying that Bill is continuing to do "bad things" in New York and Hillary is going to have to do something to calm him down. He ended the segment last night stating that Hillary needs to rein in Bill by saying, paraphrasing here - "While Bill does his Holly Go-Lightly routine."

He wasn't named "Mis-informer of the Year" in 2005 by Media Matters for nothing. And he had some pretty stiff competition.

[H2O Man]

21. To start with,

yoou don't have a clue what "schizophrenic" means.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

27. Ouch! You are right. I didn't use it in the correct context but Tweety

is such a two-faced, lying, corrupt piece of shit I just drug up the first term that came to mind. I stand corrected. But everything else I said about the corporate twit IS correct.

[H2O Man]

28. In the context of

the Plame scandal and Libby trial, your other comments are equally incorrect.

[UTUSN]

19. I *watched/heard* Tweety say, "I hope everybody comes out all right"!!1 n/t

[H2O Man]

22. Gosh.

I drank a cup of coffee.

[TahitiNut]

20. Agreed. As I've said, I see a lot of misunderstanding about what Tweety does.

He's fascinated by the game of politics - the strategies, tactics, and moves. He's not a "policy wonk" or ideologue anyewhere nearly as much as he's fascinated by the dialectic itself. He's like someone watching a street fight without "skin in the game" - he just likes seeing how it's done. He saves his praise and disdain for how WELL (or dirty) people play the game, not for their political positions. I see very little in Tweety that's the result of any hidden agenda - he's not proseltyzing nor does he carry water for either party.

I guess the same people who hated Howard Cosell would hate Tweety. :shrug:

[H2O Man]

23. In this case,

it would be as if they were saying that Howard hated Ali, and basing their "insight" on Ed Dooley's words.

[TahitiNut]

25. (lol) I'd say that's a good analogy.

:thumbsup: Though I doubt Tweety is quite as favorably disposed to either side as Howard was to Ali.

[PRETZEL]

8. just as long as he keeps signing my paycheck

I'll be happy.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

11. A couple of weeks ago he was spewring anger at Cheney and his gang and talked

about when they didn't like what he reported about Joe Wilson, he was descended upon by three archangels of death.

9. Update - Judge doesn't understand the jury's question

Walton: I've received the party proposal as to what I should say to the jury. I have some questions in my mind as to what the jury is asking me. I'm going to send a note back to the jury indicating I am not certain what they're asking, can you clarify what you're asking.

Wells: As long as the record is clear that it's the position of the defense that we think the note is clear. We would ask your honor not to send the note. I think govt and defense are reading the note in the same fashion. Defense response and govt response are both very close.

Walton: You may well be right. I have some uncertainty. I'll send that back. I assume we'll get something back very quickly.

So we'll wait in the courtroom, I guess.

[myrna minx]

12. OK, that makes me nervous. n/t

[dancingme]

13. It doesn't mean they are deadlocked

That would be an easy question to answer if they asked "What do we do if we can't agree on a decision?" Judges get that question in every kind of jury trial.

[myrna minx]

18. I know you're correct, but, lol, I guess I needed a "sky is falling"

moment. I'm much better now. :hi:

[Norquist Nemesis]

He's gunning for an "exclusive" in his expectation of acquittal

In the event he's wrong and Libby's found guilty, he'll take Wells.

[radfringe]

14. Question: after the verdict has been decided

can Cheney come home?

[dogday]

15. He will need extra drool buckets for this verdict nt

[dancingme]

17. UPDATE - no need for the note

11:05

Okay, everyone seems to be in agreement. We're just waiting on the judge–and hopefully, the jury. Remember them, the jury?

Fitz is now explaining this in animated gestures to Zeidenberg. Doesn't seem to have anything to do with the jacuzzi, though.

Wells also explaining something, to Libby.

Walton back.

The jury sent a note in response, indicating that after further discussion, "we are clear on what we need to do." They no longer need clarification.

Um. So much for the question.

Wells is saying, It's nice we could come to some joint resolution.

[Catherine Vincent]

24. He thought something was going to happen because of the note.

The jury doesn't need an explanation anymore. Nevermind. :)

[Beausoir]

26. The suspense...

is killing me.

[WiseButAngrySara]

29. Schuster on MSNBC now! ....n/t

[jannyk]

30. Wow! I just switched to MSNBC they have cameras outside

the courtroom. Breathlessly announced they are expecting a verdict by 5pm today -

and then added "...on the disposition of Anna Nichole's body"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
