Stay with me.
Tweety was a renegade to us beginning with the Fake Impeachment and definitely through Campaign 2000 when he was a de facto Shrub operative, then a Shrub-licker throughout almost all of those eight years including cheerleading in the run-up to the Iraq Attack. And through it all, he was trading off of being called a Lib when he was supposed to be matched up in debates with wingnuts. He was who performed the public execution of DONAHUE on DONAHUE's own show, saying, "This is why Americans hate you Liberals because you never can saying anything good about this country." That's a paraphrase, but very close.
It wasn't until OBAMA that he quieted his wingnut side down.
Through those years, he announced his real roots, that his parents were "cloth coat (Rethugs)" and that basically the main impetus in his politics was not political philosophy but rather ethnic, Irish Catholic pride when JFK came on the scene.
So there we have the link for Tweety: the KENNEDYs.
I distinctly remember the travesty of the California recall, then my disgust (again) with Ahhhhnuld (previously, for having injected his Rethug self into our Dem icon family through Maria, whom I didn't excuse), this time for his opportunism in reaping the vacancy that Darryl ISSA paid for for himself.
And there was Tweety. Not that he is a force, but it was him on the wrong side of us again. There were actually some dedicated FIGHTING Dems in California talking about going all out against Ahhhnuld and digging out all of his sordid past. There always are some Dems anywhere who would like to FIGHT TO WIN, but somehow our Dem leaders and mouthpieces always seem to stifle us. So I distinctly remember Tweety setting up the "dirty politics" and then looking fiercely into the camera and dictating, "THEY'D BETTER NOT!1"
So when Ahhhnuld held his victory night speech, there was that empty stage, then the doors opened and all these preppies in suits poured out onto the stage, and Tweety said, "HERE COME THE KENNEDYs!1"
So it was all about the KENNEDYs for Tweety. Tip's dictum, "All politics is local" ought to be "All politics is personal."
My point is my outrage that the media is complicit in foisting these a-holes on us. They did it during Campaign 2000 when they declared hands off of Shrub, no hard questions for Shrub, no investigation of his putrid history, all tear down the Mean GORE.
And with Ahhhhnuld, there were reports of the gropings, there was old history about his drugs and sex, but no, he's a movie star with that "compelling personal story" that media a-holes just love. So this LIAR Ahhhnuld got to play his most acting role. Maria has never been blameless for me, but that's a separate topic.
