Tim Russert is one of the few Democrats that I have any respect for. He is not afraid of opening his eyes and looking at the way thing really are.

I respect Russert too but he really needs to own up to this, he got scammed and he needs to offer a 'correction' on future Meet the Press. Also, make sure it's top of the hour, not bottom.

You're delusional if you think Russert should command respect from anyone but Democrats.

He's an all-star softball pitcher for the liberal left and the anti-Bush crowd.

His exchanges with Couric and Lauer make me want to puke.

The Sunday he admits on Meet The Depressed, that this was bogus is when I will think he is not afraid of "opening his eyes."

I used to have regard (never respect) for Tim Russert, but too often since 2002 Russert has been in lock step with the Anti Bush MSM. Russert may give token attention to negative facts concerning the Democrat Politicians, but like most in the MSM he will gloss over anything that points to democrat incompetence while hammering the GOP. Russert is Dan Rather Lite IMHO

Tim Russert has not come clean. This Broussard sham was exposed on 9/7 by CBS. It got no mention on NBc tv. In fact, MSNBC replayed the tape endlessly, even though it was debunked. When MSNBC did finally acknowledge the lie on 9/18 it was written about as a "misunderstanding".

Tim Russert, to my knowledge, has not commented or corrected his story. He is part of the problem. He is no better than Rather.

BS. For example: He interviewed Chertoff and the first question. When will you resign? The next week he interviews Ray Nagin and it seemed like an episode of Oprah. When he interviews Republicans or conservatives he is persistent in his questioning and rather aggressive. But when he interviews liberals he never follows through on tough questions. Letting the pinkos escape. Meat balls down the plate.

Re: Tim Russert - anytime he's the moderator of a debate and he accepts questions from Americans ahead of time, and he uses them to play gotcha with the candidate who's not so quick on his feet or has something to hide, the winner of a debate that he's moderating usually wins the election. At least that's how it worked in Florida. Nobody can trip up a politician or candidate like Russert.

He is not afraid of opening his eyes and looking at the way thing really are.

The only problem with that is that, when he opens them, his eyes bug out of his potato-head.

He admitted to being a paid lackey for the DNC and the liberals?..where is the link???
