My wife just asked me who "Tweety" was

She's just started reading DU along with me and by herself and didn't know who y'all were referring to. When I told her she busted up laughing for about 10 minutes so I'd say we found an appropriate nickname for Mr. Matthews. :hippie:

6. Tell her he was a smart ass in Catholic school, a nun's pet

who is a physical coward, who plays with exposing his homo-erotic feelings for Shrub, who does NOT respect women, especially his wife, who was even MORE obnoxious when he used to drink heavily, who has latched on to the formula of "writing" slim little books with large font and wide white spaces, who is a coward in terms of principles, who has traded for years under the false label of being a Democrat while his true self is shamefully Repuke... I could go on...

11. TMI?

Does it mean "too much information" or "Three Mile Island"?

9. An example of Tweety's "homo-erotic feelings for Shrub"

"We’re proud of our president. Americans love having a guy as president, a guy who has a little swagger, who’s physical, who’s not a complicated guy like Clinton or even like Dukakis or Mondale, all those guys, McGovern. They want a guy who’s president. Women like a guy who’s president. Check it out. The women like this war."

Chris Matthews, Hardball, May 1, 2003
