I watch Tweety's show daily..and many times I mutter to myself like a crazy woman. But I do think he has good guests and that is the reason I watch..not for his pundit bs..but to hear what his guests have to say.
If he lets them say it, Dusty. It's such a fine line between cogent analysis and Clinton monomania for Tweety - Have to keep up fictions for the viewers and appearances for the paymasters, y'see.
That was the '04 cycle for ya...When the election-year imperative was to make a candidate who not only completed a term of national military service, but did it in a foreign conflict and was injured in doing so, look worse than an incumbent who was installed in a safely domestic non-combat role by his daddy's cronies, ran away from those responsibilities rather than fail a drug test, and whose greatest injury in doing so was probably due to a faulty pop-top tab in some Alabama juke joint.
What totally flabbergasts me is how Limpballs, Coultergeist and Internment-camp Malkin can spew their illogical crap without any proof and their legions buy it hook, line and sinker as fact.
Their legions lack the faculties of critical thought, and rely on others with outraged gravitas (or failing that, slinky black cocktail dresses) to provide them with approved direction.
Not a new phenomenon at all, come to think of it. Whatever the media, there will always be those who will manipulate the content, and those unfortunates with pliable minds who will place their trust in such individuals and conglomerates, in spite of easily obtained evidence that such blind faith may be against their own best interests.

I'll give him style points for his evisceration of Mickey Malkin's duckspeak, however.
I agree that he is a rude mutha, but he does tar and feather both sides equally most of the time.
Oh sweet Jaysus that is a good vid..I must of missed that show damn it! ;)
