The past two nights, watching Tweety, on 'Hardball', has been, even more, excruciating, as to his reporting on the Haiti earthquake.
He has put on his "Super-Serious" suit, and looks, sternly, into the camera, with all his dramatic announcements.
And, biggest of all, he sounds like a total, Ted Baxter-like jackass, whenever he pronounces the name of Haiti's capital city, Port-au-Prince.
You can go out to 'Hardball' and pull up some of the videos, to check it out.
Even Atizine, on Twitter, noticed "Watching newscasters who pronounce almost nothing else properly, try their hardest 2 say 'Port Au Prince' like a local is absolutely weird..."
Almost overnight, Monty Python created a new "Ministry of Silly Talk", and Tweety is their first, gleaming star graduate.
Most normal people pronounce the name of Port-au-Prince, sounding as "Port-O-Prince".
Tweety has been pronouncing it, apparently, in the Francophile manner, as "Port-O-Prance" really dragging out the "Prance" part, making it sound like "Prawnce".
Much in the same behavior as being the only person, outside of the family secret bunker, that pronounces the name of the former Shadow President, as "Cheeny", versus the rest of the standing world, as "Cheney", or "Chay-ney"
Maybe the Darth Vader clan is okay with his mashing their name ...
But somebody needs to clue Tweety in, that he works for MSNBC, not Le Monde.
Bonus Tweety
