Tweety "felt sensitive" with Bush, compares him to Santa Claus. Seriously.
Matthews "felt sensitive" with Bush: "It's like Santa Claus, and he's always very generous and friendly"

http://mediamatters.org/items/200512200010

On the December 16 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, host Chris Matthews recounted his experience at a White House Christmas party the night before. Matthews remarked that he "felt sensitive" during his interactions with the president, adding that "you get your picture taken with him. It's like Santa Claus, and he's always very generous and friendly." He continued: "I felt like I was too towel-snappy with him," explaining that Bush had noted his "red scarf" and remarked that he looked "preppy."

During another segment, Matthews also stated: "If President Bush's gamble that he can create a democracy in the middle of the Arab world" is successful, "he belongs on Mount Rushmore." Matthews made this remark during a discussion of the timing of The New York Times' December 16 report on President Bush's authorization of secret National Security Agency wiretaps of U.S. citizens without court warrants. The Times reported that it held the story for a year after meeting with administration officials who expressed concern it could compromise ongoing investigations and alert terrorists that they may be under surveillance. Matthews questioned his guests, New York Times reporter Anne E. Kornblut and Newsweek chief political correspondent Howard Fineman, regarding the timing of the story, which coincided with positive coverage of the December 15 parliamentary elections in Iraq.

2. When Tweety got home that night...
I wonder if he did his wife through a hole cut in a top sheet with Chimpy's image silk screened on it.

3. This is part of the problem: The press gets too cozy with who they cover
Matthews must be easy to impress. Bush comes off as a boor to me.

4. There are times when you ask young lovers to just STFU
Edited on Tue Dec-20-05 07:21 PM by Enraged_Ape
Seriously. I know my wife and I (married some 18 years) probably acted the same way around others when we first met as Matthews does now with Bush. We just couldn't keep our hands/eyes/other appendages off of each other. But there eventually comes a time for ALL couples when that crap has just got to stop. This is almost always done for show, and the sad facts are that couples who have been together for a long time don't care and those people who don't have a lover feel jealous.

Chris, if you can't keep your hands/comments to yourself, at least--AT LEAST--spring 20 bucks or so and rent a hotel room. I'm just sayin'.

5. Actually, there is valid grounds for a Chimpy/Santa comparison...
...especially after hearing about this spy bullshit.....


He's making a list
and checking it twice.
He's going to find out
who's naughty and nice....

7. Santa never rained down bombs on children from his sled.
What a comparison! Santa Claus and George Bush. Chris Matthews is RobertNovaking himself into a self-made parody.

10. The King?? You mean Elvis was playing Santa?

There’s a Santa who looks a lot like Elvis
The King of Rock and Roll
Take a look at the double chin
He’s weighing about 310
With golden chains and sequined belt below

There’s a Santa who looks a lot like Elvis
Down at the K-Mart store
But the scariest sight to see
Is that jolly VIP
In a pompadour

A pair of blue suede boots and a beard with black roots
And a face you knew way back when
A drawl in his talk and a swaggering walk
And the hips that wiggled back then
My mom and dad can barely wait to see the King again

He’s a Santa who sounds a lot like Elvis
With every ho ho ho
There’s that faint peanut butter smell
Whenever he says noel
Those lips are always twitching to and fro

There’s a Santa who looks a lot like Elvis
Soon the band will start
And the thing that would pleasure Bing
Is a carol by the King
Right here in K-mart

You ain’t nothing but a reindeer
Flying all the time
You ain’t nothing but a reindeer
Flying all the time
Well you ain’t never brought a present
And you ain’t no friend of mine

Hey, we’re here every day from 2 to 4. If you want to feed the reindeer just leave ‘em a peanut butter and ‘nanner sandwich. They’ll eat it later.


He’s a Santa who looks a lot like Elvis
Well, thank you very much. Thank you.
Signs you can’t ignore
Well, I have put on a few pounds
It’s the wackiest thing to see
Buddy Holly’s on his knee
Boy, you’re a skinny little feller aren’t you?
And I’m almost sure
Sure it’s Elvis once more
Uh, ho ho ho, ho ho ho. Thank you. Thank you very much.

12. Tweety's comments about Bush are downright bizzare...
Am I the only one who thinks that there's a homosexual fantasy thing going on for Bush by the Tweets?

23. Nope.
IMO, there's a LOT of that going around, in the Bushco/Media nexus.

16. Where do I begin to tell the story of how great a love can be...
:puke:

Why does he remind me of a Gumby in that picture. All he's missing is the head hankerchief. "My... brain... hurts... Take... it... out."

17. Basking in the glow of Chimpy's "sunny nobility",
scorning that tiny minority of "real far-left wackos" who are the ONLY people who "don't like the president", and dreaming of Junior's mottled face on... Mt. Rushmore.

Blinded by love, Tweety continues to pine. "Eavesdrop on me, please, Mister President! You'll like what you hear!"

18. Matthews "felt sensitive" with Santa Bush!?!....
Santa? Yeah right, to that top 2% - *'s base. For all of us, it's a stocking full of coal. Or maybe * has the wiretap goods on Tweety, his stocking may be full of s***.:sarcasm:

I guess Wiretap Bush IS sorta like Santa Claus.

24. The desire to be invited to the Washington "A List" parties
trumps the desire to be critical and objective.
