How the Hype Became Bigger Than the Presidential Election:
Blame the media for making whole generations hate The Process. And I do. Blame the media, that is. In fact, I don't have a tv because I got tired of screaming at the talking heads on tv--that asshole Chris Matthews in particular. Does anyone else remember when Chris Matthews said that Al Gore should concede "for the good of the nation?" Because I hear people mention that he was against the Iraq war, and they note other sensible (or at least not stupid) things he has said as if he is not a complete media whore. But he is. And from what I've read--because I really don't have a tv and rarely watch broadcast images on my computer--Tweety isn't as bad as some of the newer, even more shameless whores spewing on tv. This election only is a horse race because the media won't make money if everyone accepted that Barack Obama, Wall Street enabler, is going to cream Mitt Romney, Wall Street player and known cultist. So starve the beast and turn off the tv. Better yet, cancel cable and kill the beast. Since I got rid of the my tv back in February 2004, I figure that Time Warner lost about $7,200 of my after tax dollars. Just saying.
tbogg sez people who condemn teebee are snobs and hopeless narcissists. Others say tbogg is a thin skinned prick. I say he's that and an Obama taint lapper as well.
Fuck teebee.

Tweety is in a class by himself. Knew him back in the day when he worked for Tip and he was the same arrogant lying sack of dung he is now....

JDM: Tbogg was funny back in the day, but then 2008 happened and he jumped the shark. Hey, if he likes licking ass, more for him.
Reamus: I stopped watching him when he said Gore should concede. He's called Tweety b/c he was dying his hair so yellow/blond that the youngsters on his staff thought he resembled Tweety Bird. I understand you have to look young and robust for tv, but I am reminded of "Death in Venice." GMB

Tweety von Aschenbach. LOL.

JDM: Except that von Aschenbach, unlike Tweety, at least felt ashamed for his obsession, and, of course, he died appropriately for his sins. GMB

Tweety von Sandusky, then.

JDM: No, Tweety's crime is being a surpeme asslicking narcissist. I'm trying to think of who fits him, but he's not evil since he has so little influence. Conniving and opportunistic like Quisling, ass kissing like any law associate trying to glom on to the big partner, etc. That is, Tweety is an asshole annoyance, Sandusky is just plain fucking evil.
