Tweety says Clarke's apology was grandstanding
Now to see how he treats Clarke on Wednesday. Boy, did I peg him wrong for how he would treat Clarke with respect. Guess it's going to be a sparring match. :(

1. When Bush makes a joke about not finding WMD's under his
his desk, the media whores find it funny; when Clarke makes a hearfelt apology to the widows of 9/11 he is accused of grandstanding
by one of the premier apologists for this administration. You would think that the media would put pressure on the Bush administration to issue a similar apology and let the 9/11 commission take its investigations to wherever it may lead. No chance of this happening now.

2. And if ANYONE knows grandstanding...it's tweety

3. Whether or not it was heartfelt - it needed to be said
And no one else in this admin has said it - not in this way. They've said how horrible a thing it was, but NEVER accepted blame for it. This is the big difference.

4. David Drier is a pathetic enabler of fascism
trotting that the tired old bullshit lie of Al-Qaeda was in Iraq.

I hope the people of California can wake up and vote these fascists out of office.

5. Tweety would say that Patrick Henry was .........................
grandstanding when he said "give me liberty or give me death".

I dont think so. Tweety will try but Clarke has the facts on his side and he knows how to articulate it like a pro!

9. How'd you like that 9/11 Dad?
Unbelievable...I'll paraphrase: "I'm here to criticize Clarke, I didn't read the book, but that doesn't mean anything because I hugged the President and looked deep into his eyes, and then, unzipping my fly..."

Typical ignorant fool: I don't know anything, but that never stopped me from having an opinion. You have no idea how many people say to me, "I'm not a doctor like you and I didn't go to medical school, but let me tell you what I think about such and such..." and they're right, they are uneducated and out of their depth. Is this what they mean by the "Ugly American"?

Reminds me of that scene in Monty Python's THe Meaning of Life, when The Grim Reaper says to the Americans, "You always say 'lemme tell you this' and 'I just want to say that'. So ridiculous.

Tweety did grill him a bit but eased up because he lost a son. I guess that qualifies you to make a toatal asshole of yourself on TV, for all 108 people who watch Hardball.

16. Please don't enable
A-list media ho Matthews, by watching his show you just encourage him to continue. He is a fair-weather friend that leans in any direction the wind is blowing, also his spitting and interrupting make things worse.

22. Does anyone know this shit tweey's email?
I want to write him and ask him what the hell is wrong with him saying someone is grandstanding because he apologized and wants to makes things better so he can feel right about himself again. Someone does the decent thing and this gas bag immediately squacks about grandstanding. Has he never felt the need to do the right thing....fu*k this turd wouldn't know the right thing if it bit him is his great big fat pasty pimpled ass.

When these bastards are old and look back on this, they will too feel the need to ask for forgiveness, especially when they look in the eyes of their grandchilden and feel shame creep across their faces and live in their stomachs. I think they only thing holding them back now is pride. It takes a man to admit he is wrong or failed, but it takes a very weak person to just keep lieing cuz he is too ashamed.
