Too make matters worse, Fat Tim is going to report on the story, in which he is a part.

That was teased with the last commercial.

One other important aspect is that Russert was interviewed over the Phone by the FBI and not in person. How did he know who he was talking to? Now that Investigator's notes of the interview are conveniently MIA. This is smelly, smelly, stinko........Terrible Timmah has zero credibility.

I think the "bosses" at NBC are in it up to their necks with Russert. No way are they going to punish him.

"Lincoln was a gradualist"

That is true. Lincoln's most effective point was to a political challenger that while he agreed with him that the states had a right to "choice" he disagreed with his opponent's refusal to debate WHAT was being chosen.

This is also the heart of the abortion tragedy.

We'll be able to tell by how Hillary treats him. If she decides he's a threat the MSM will dutifully turn their guns on him.

Chris Wallace seemed to start out OK, but turned to his
liberal background really quick. I think maybe his dad
might have given him a stern talking too, letting him
know it wasn't nice to fool with the liberal line of thinking.

I would make the court play the John Williams MTP theme music whenever Russert gives testimony.

Well, Fishtalk, Kelly Wright was reading the comments on the Anna Nichole Smith site...protestations of how people will love her forever and how they already miss her, and so I must sadly tell you that a fair number of Americans ARE that stupid!

I was intending to post an article from the Austin paper yesterday. Not many of her hometown people liked her. She was seen as a golddigger and a bum.

It'll be entertaining if he does into serious legal trouble and continues to do his show like nothing is wrong.

Well, I don't watch the Dim one, he makes me too mad. He will be on with Howie Kurtz, I will be interted to learn if Kurtz brings up the false affidavit point (don't count on it). Please let me know.

Also, I need to amend my point above regarding what I would do with Russert; in actuality, if I was his boss, I would fire him. You don't submit a false affidavit to the court, and then get to talk about the case you are involved in.

Excellent post here anita.

This just goes to show that Russert has an extremely selective memory. He seems to remember things the way it will help his rat buddies and hurt Scooter much differently than when he is chatting with an FBI supv. during a Sunday conversation.(a supervisor who reportedly met Russert during an NBC Washington, DC church tour--bizzarro?)

The whole trial is becoming so convoluted how any prosecutor could expect to prove Scooter did anything on purpose much less revealing the name of a covert CIA spy who really wasn't a spy(try and figure that one out) when no one taking the stand can recall anything is beyond me.

And to top it off seems like not allowing NBC's Andrea Mitchell's testimony that Armitage was the initial leaker to Novak's infamous piece is beyond bizarre as well, oh well.

But then I thought the govt. made a mistake with the two border patrol agents that were put in jail for shooting a drug dealer in the ass as he ran back to Mexico with 9 other border agents and a supervisor all watching.(With a bullet that doesn't seem to match either gun don'tcha just know).

I guess I am just a radical.

That was like when Dan Rather investigated his own phony document story.

Don't forget who Mitch McConnel is married to

http://www.whitehouse.gov/government/chao-bio.html

I am sure that him being Minority Leader helps the Bush Adminstration.

You are dead right about ol' metro boy Shep Smith.

I listened to DNC on Sirius much of the week while traveling and after five or ten minutes of his spin had to turn it off--he's all L/W and probably has lunch with Chris Wallace eating brazed tofu and diet lettuce.

Howie Kurtz just spun what we are learning from the Libby trial as seeing that journalists are too cozy with the Bush administration and being used to get the admin position out to the public.

Unbelievable.
