"The unmistakeable touch of the gutter" Tweety on Fitz after comparing

him to Roberts, and suggesting that he 'get on the team'...SCOTUS! WTF? Was this my imagination? Maybe Fitz was made a promise. I hate that smug look on all of their faces...Tweety, Rove, B*, etc.

Who caught this exchange, and how did you interpret it?

It was sarcasm, pure and simple. He was joking that Bush could solve two problems at once by naming Fitzgerald to SCOTUS. It was Matthews trying to be cute.

conversation with Milbanks, who is so much like Tweety in his schizophrenic duplicity, that they both have my head spinning with their respective spins.

It was not cute.

Fitz would go after the person for trying to bribe a federal official. The guy is squeaky clean.

nobility in deceit and stupidity. I hate that windbag.

The first time it was to his "sunny nobility." The second time he used the word he admitted he'd been criticized for using it earlier.

Tweety's becoming more of a whore every day.

should be at least a glimmer of it in a POTUS. He has been a phony liar from day one. He's stupid, ill-educated, racist, fascist and a lying cheat! His 'noble' demeanor is all pretense and show.

His sarcastic "observations" are so lame and stupid that only he gets them.

Weird.

I don't give a rat's ass if his father was a doorman, Fitz is more of a gentleman than blivet* will ever be. Being a class act doesn't have shit to do with your station in life.

with Fitz, might have been some strange perverted sense of humor, as some have suggested, but I think it was a subtle putdown. Wealth is rarely associated with nobility, but is usually the consequence of the opposite of nobility. The Tweeties of the world have an insatiable appetite for wealth, and tend to judge others by that very narrow standard. Too bad that all of the wealthy people I know (many) have, for the most part, acquired their wealth by: 1.) doing nothing to deserve it (inheritance) 2.) screwed others to obtain it 3.) were lucky in the sense of being in the right place at the right time with the right Bullshit to impress the right people...

The 'noble' wealthy person is the exception throughout history.

I saw that three minutes before switching. Of all the dumb things he has said today, this one was the dumbest.

He was nothing like John Roberts. Not one bit. They both answered questions in a manner not usually done in Washington. Beyond that, no comparison.

Touch of the gutter? My lord, what a pig. This is proof that what is going on is class warfare. The Repubs don't like people to succeed on merit and effort. They want the underclass to stay the underclass and allow the buffoons born to wealth like * to remain in control.

Trying to suck up to the Bush family, and hoping they don't notice his Archie Bunker accent. Like Tim Russert, he has a working-class background, and I tend to think that class envy is a big part of both of their professional behavior.

too much to wealth, which becomes their ultimate goal in life. Enough is never enough.
