20 minutes til I get to watch. From the sound of Russert's rude demeanor, I think I might be wishing I could afford to take a hammer to the TV!

Maybe I'll settle for writing Tim. Tell him (ask him) why he's not a big enough man to show due respect to the President of these United States.

Guess Tim didn't miss any of the DNC's selected questions.

You need one of those plastic pistols that fires suction cup darts. You can get them cheap at the dollar store.

Go ahead, buy a couple...you'll need them before the election is over. ;-)

I think these reporter/pundits have holdings in Motorola, Sony....maybe GE. I'm certain you feel less likely to use the hammer since you've seen President Bush. I left the thread to watch with my daughter...then watched a DVD.

President Bush looked tired, but he handled the interview skillfully, IMO. He did not let Russert exert control over what and when he said something and seemed totally unrehearsed. The reiteration of his position to redundant questions by Russert was in the words of my daughter, "Like explaining something to a three-year-old".

A pompous sounding orator President Bush is NOT, but I'll take him any day before one of 'those'. Thank goodness he didn't mention the word FIGHT!

Television sets intact in Tampa!
