Today Show/NewsBusters Baby-James ping.
Why Rush Limbaugh thinks Tim Russert is a good and fair guy is waaaaaay beyond me. He is a Democrat HACK.
AFAIC, the less time Congress has to discuss anything the better. We're better of with them doing nothing.
BTW, doesn't today mark the start of the 'blackout' of advertising according to McCain-Feingold's CFR, with respect to the November 7th elections?
I think she likes the fluffier stuff.
But, thanks for posting.
LMAO... it was 'Dem-Orientation Day' at pmsNBC yesterday.
I suspect this telethon they had yesterday didn't go over too well. They're angrier than they were yesterday.
And it never occurred to one of these brainchilds that they (Congress) could have thought up this legislation all on their own after SCOTUS handed down its decision in June?
They have to wait for the President to ASK for legislation like this? ROFL
Of course we know that the Dems never do anything for political calculation (Clinton, Tomahawk, Lewinsky)
What's unfortunate is that Tim is supposed to be a news guy. A news guy should give his audience the facts. Tim knows that nothing happens in August because of recess, and he knows it takes more than a couple of weeks for the government to put together a bill on something of this importance.
Therefore, he knows that the week following labor day WAS the first week would could have expected this bill. He could have pointed these facts out and made his audience just a little smarter. He could have explained that democrats complaining about the timing were therefore making a political matter out of this, not the President.
But he didn't, because he's singing the democrat talking points.
I could stand the liberal opinion if they would just give us the facts first so people could see that their opinions are baseless.
Russert and Lauer. The Dim Duet.
I wonder how many of the Today Show regular viewers actually bother to vote?
Translation:
"So put yourself in the position of a Democratic lawmaker today, Tim. IfWhen that woman or that manDemocrat stands up and says I am opposed to this, I don't want to discuss this, I want more time, they're going to be seen or painted exposed by the administration and Republicans as weak on national security."
BTW, why are Republicans able to deal with tis in 3 weeks time, but not the DUmmies? I thought they were all so smart?
If this was the decision of a Democrat President it would be hailed as a brilliant political move in response to the Supreme Courts decision of June.
There is an old gambling ploy where when someone raises, you reraise back.
The Dems COULD re-raise and ask for the death penalty for the terrs, but they lack the will and the guts.
They've been hammering Bush and now they cry foul? Politics ain't beanbag.
If this was a brilliant move and we want the Dems to have to vote on these issues, why are you upset that Russert reported that? Since when is it biased to report the truth? Is he supposed to say I have no idea why they are doing it now or create some other reason. It's obvious that at least part of the reason is political.
Questioning the timing. Dem Tactics 101. Funny thing is, why not time something correctly? The idea is to accomplish something. That's the part Dems don't get.
