Transcript of Russert/Bush interview

[Stu Cohen]

I would like to apologize for my unseemly YAWN.I simply cannot imagine what came over me to use such language.Please forgive my insensitivity.

Apology accepted.

[txradioguy]

Yup it was an aborted run for Congress too. He got released to run the decided not to. How convienient that was for him.


Fact of the matter is, when you add up all of President Bush's active time and years served it almost EQUALS Kerry's and Algore's COMBINED.


Too bad my cousins in the "mainstream" media aren't interested in presenting those facts about Kerry and Gore's "real" military record, as opposed to the rumors and innuendo they print and repeat about the President being AWOL.

[Howlin]

Well, evidently Terry McAuliffe had something else to for huskerco to do during the time period. :-)

How 'bout we ask Timmy if he's prepared to lose HIS job?

[txradioguy]

$10 bucks says he is a seminar caller. Wouldn't be surprised if he tries to same the same stuff to Rush or Hannity. Only they won't be as civil to him as I and you for that matter were.

[Mo1]

That would be nice ... but I doubt NBC will do that

[olliemb]

"So, please don't talk to me about "my man". I am currently without a representative candidate.

Press "1" for English."

Certainly if you are maligning the president and giving the impression that you would not vote for him, then you are for the other man--whoever he may be.( I don't think Hillary is running this year). Therefore generic man was used.

As for the amnesty--I live at the mexican border, and illegals can be a problem with low water levels in the Rio Grande. Certainly you would agree that this has to be brought up for discussion. Where I grew up, I did not see the harm and danger that the non illegal enforcement did to my part of the country. Mr. Bush and I have seen it for ourselves. So don't start assuming that your problems are the same as other states. But I think we both can agree that it should be discussed. President Bush proposed the topic and it is time for congress to commit to a solution.

"How 'bout we ask Timmy if he's prepared to lose HIS job?"


Sadly that won't happen. Cockroaches and liberal news anchors would be the only things to survive a nuclear holacaust. They're from the same species and share the same DNA.

[Zechariah11]

You justify your very crude bathroom comment on the basis that someone had written "YAWN"? That's good reasoning?

Such comments are reflective of adolescence and generally come from those who are using computers their parents purchased. Forgive me if you are an adult.

[txradioguy]

""So, please don't talk to me about "my man". I am currently without a representative candidate."


Really?


I thought that they'd let Lyndon LaRouche out of prison a couple of years ago? Hmmm Maybe I was wrong.

Don't worry, Nader may make another run.

/sarcasm

[ilovew]

Yeah, I just realized that Timmy looks a lot like a cockroach...

[PhiKapMom]

Speaking of Larouche -- he was on the RAT ballot here in OK. For some reason I thought he had died but he actually got votes here to my shock.

[olliemb]

"I can go for a max of 4, but I will need to make extensive use of the Thesarus"

Your point???

[Zechariah11]

Try "admonition".

There are some good on-line dictionaries which are just a click away.

[txradioguy]

LOL!...No he's alive and still the figurehead leader of the Liberalitarian Party.


I know that Stu with his superior intellect is readying to inform me that becasue LaRouche is a convicted felon he therefore is in-elegiable to run for office due to his numerous felony convictions therefore he still doesn't have a "man" in this election but I beat him to the punch! LOL! I was merely using sarcastic wit in my post.

About the ONLY Liberaltarian I like is Neal Boortz.

Can't believe LaRouche got votes in Oklahoma. That's quite funny.

BOOMER SOONER!

[DoctorMichael]

"...SOFTBALLS TO DEMS AND HARDBALLS TO REPUBLICANS!!..."

LOL

Getting into a pissing match about THIS is like argueing Yankees OR RedSox, Magic OR Byrd, Jimmy Page OR Eric Clapton...........One point in many: Russert was the only one that took Rush seriously a few years back and did a yearly interview with him every Thanksgiving. Allowing him to air his opinions (Horror of Horrors!) in a serious setting is just NOT done, don'tcha know. It can get you uninvited to Katie Couric's next cocktail party.

Sorry, but I don't think he's as bad as you say (See my tagline}......and he's far and away more professional and incisive in comparison to Steffie.

"...DR?..."

Yes.

BOOMER SOONER back at you! They just showed Roy Williams, the Oklahoma Sooner turned Dallas Cowboy come out for the introduction for the Pro Bowl as the starting free safety. He waved to the camera with his big grin when he came out to be introduced. He is thrilled to be there.

LaRouche was listed on the DemocRAT ticket here for their primary. I guess he is only a Lib when he wants to be! One of the poll workers at my precinct said that a lot of people had wanted none of the above -- I assume he was the none of the above for some people!

[txradioguy]

Rush used to speak highly of Brian Williams too. I can remember one time Williams calling into the show and talking with Rush!

That doesn't happen now and it seems that he's gone just slightly left of Howard Dean.

Someone in the news department must have informed him that if he ever wanted Brokaw's seat he'd better forget who Rush Limbaugh was! LOL!

[ThePythonicCow]

Some attention has also focused on Mr. Bush's departure from the service. Under his original oath, he was obligated to serve in the Guard until May 1974. Instead, he was allowed to leave in October 1973 to attend Harvard Business School.

At that time, not surprising. I was an Air Force 1st Lt at that same time, and got out 6 months early of my 4 year commitment. I was coming back from 18 months in Thailand, and it made more sense to let me go than to find some other short tour. I didn't even need to make up an excuse of going to school or any such. The USAF was looking for opportunities to let you off at that time. They were downsizing from Vietnam.
