Desmond TuTu Was Going To Be On The Daily Show, But Tweety Threw A Fit?

Edited on Tue Mar-09-04 11:05 PM by khephra

Jon Seemed totally sincere when he told the story. I don't think it was a joke. What's everyone's call on that?

TuTu was going to be on the Daily Show and then two days later he would be on Hardball. And Tweety threw a fit that TuTu would appear on TDS first and told TuTu, a Nobel prize winner, that he wouldn't be able to be on Hardball if he appeared on TDS.

Sounds like Tweety to me.

(If you think this is unbelievable, remember another Nobel prize winner had been on before -- Kissinger.)

2. Why do these American WASPS

... have such an allergic reaction to S. Africans these days?

For all we know, he could have used the Daily Show as an excuse to avoid looking like a moral midget next to Tutu.

5. Sorry about that.

I was distracted; thought this thread was about Gillespie.

I'm right, though.

4. It's called being a diva

Which is what Chris Matthews is. Not to mention a whole host of others, like O'Reilly and Hannity.
