FYI Olbermann & Matthews hosting Ford Funeral on MSNBC

[bklyncowgirl]

Nice to see Keith back.

[babylonsister]

1. But will Tweety let KO get a word or two in while he takes a breath?

:think:
Thanks; I thought they started an hour later.

[malaise]

3. Twety clearly hates Cheney

hahahahaa

[tinfoilinfor2005]

6. Wow, that took me back a little...

Tweety calling Cheney a sneaky lying snake in the grass. The words were a little different but the meaning was definitely there!

[cwydro]

Keep us work prisoners posted now!

:hi:

[BuelahWitch]

38. It's on MSNBC website live if you can listen

I don't have cable anymore and I went to the website.

[hippiechick]

11. Matthews' must not have got a Christmas bonus from Darth ...

:shrug:

[maine_raptor]

2. Keith should

just hand Tweety a couple of nice sugar filled jelly donuts and wait about 10 minutes.

[malaise]

4. Ouch!

A supersized pepsi should do it.

[maine_raptor]

5. Naw

Too much caffine.

The LAST thing Tweety needs is caffine!

[malaise]

7. LOL

:rofl: :rofl: Let me get some caffine now.

[mwb970]

8. If I hear the words "Gerald Ford" one more time, I will scream.

It's a three-word story: Ex-president Ford died. But the past week of wall-to-wall saturation coverage of Ford, Ford, Ford, Ford, Ford has driven me crazy! I know he was president, but come on. They haven't covered him at all for the last 30 years except when he would go into the hospital. Or die.

Please tell me this is almost over. There's news going on in the world.

[Stephanie]

9. Just another Republican Death-Orgy

They revel in it. From Shock & Awe to Uday & Qusay to Reagn to Lynching Saddam, they just LOVE DEATH.

[malaise]

25. Chelsea just gave Condi the snub of her life

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Condi was right next to her moving towards her and she turned in the direction of her parents and walked off with them. It was sweet watching Carter chatting with Bill and Hillary.
Add.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

27. reminds me of a scene in boondog saints, where the mafioso

says, "Insigificunt!"

Way to go, Chelsea!

[The Backlash Cometh]

32. It's good to see this kind of division. Our country needs to regain

its integrity, and we'll do this, not by pardoning the Republicans, but by showing the world that we feel the pain that Republican policies have caused everyone, and that we will bring justice to remedy the situation.

[malaise]

33. Yeh but the poor kid still ended up sitting next to her

No way Bill or HIllary will sit there :D

[Cassandra]

10. They dragged Keith down to DC for this.

And got him up early, which he doesn't like.
I notice Tweety has really perfected the art of sucking up.

[Patsy Stone]

15. But...

He's wearing the pink tie. :loveya:

And, you're right, he doesn't seem like a morning person. :hi:

[Cassandra]

19. I've read that in some contract negotiations...

with ESPN before he quit, they tried to switch him to a morning show and he resisted because he doesn't like to work the morning shift.
I like the pink tie, too.

[librechik]

12. ick--Chimp in Chief will do the ewe-logy...baaaaa

Keith and Tweety mix like oil and water--or ketchup on ice cream.

Tweety clearly hates Keith.

:popcorn:

[hlthe2b]

13. Jealousy must be intense....

NOt able to watch, but after WaPo named Keith the one to watch for 07--

Could be interesting... Fill the tv-less in, ok?

[librechik]

18. I'll try--actually I'm listening to Stephie and just have the tv on w captions

while getting ready for work--But I did notice Cheny looking sly as a fox for some reason and Mrs. Ford trying to stay awake in the back of a limo.

[hlthe2b]

20. Wow, this must be so incredibly hard for Betty--at her age...

Regardless of how one feels about Jerry Ford, Betty is worthy of respect and sympathy, IMO.

[Skidmore]

26. She does deserve a great deal of sympathy since she

has lost her life partner in a clearly loving relationship. I can't imagine what it must be to deal with such an intimate loss in such a public way.

[malaise]

37. Susan is sure addressing Bush with this reading

on wickedness. Funny how the cameras seek out W and Laura :D

[ashling]

30. I knew a guy who ate ketchup on ice cream

very strange

[spanone]

14. You'd think Ford was Albert Einstein listening to this drivel.

[NNN0LHI]

16. Ain't that the truth n/t

[Connie_Corleone]

17. Thank god this is the last day of the death orgy.

[malaise]

22. Tomorrow

and on Thursday the Dems take over. The irony of a funeral before the takeover must not be missed. Rethug power in Congress leaves with Ford's casket. Symbolism is everything.

[johnfunk]

23. I kinda thought that the timing was one of those Karma Backatcha things

There's nothing like a Republican funeral.

[johnfunk]

21. Thankfully, far less blah blah than on CNN!

Matthews and Olbermann are the new Huntley and Brinkley.

[malaise]

24. Very classy -MSNBC understands ratings n/t

[hlthe2b]

28. Kissinger to be eulogist? Who the heck will translate?

and I don't mean his German accented English-- who will translate the mumbles? :eyes:

[Skidmore]

29. I'm glad they rang John Meacham off. That guy makes me want

to scream. He should decide if he wants to be an editor of a reputable magazine reporting unbiased news or a preacher.

[malaise]

34. Had the same thought n/t

[tinfoilinfor2005]

31. Wow, Condi looks AWFUL!!

They just panned to her and her face looked sooooo unhappy!! Wonder if she overheard some negative buzz in the pews.

[cwydro]

35. Probably just got her funeral face on.

[malaise]

36. How nice that Tweety and KO

are not interrupting the proceedings.
