Licorice: "These 'reporters' are dumber than 'possum turd.
Did they mention Sandy Berger even once? I doubt it.".

When it comes to toeing the Dem line, NBC's Campbell Brown takes a back seat to no one, including Katie Couric.
Filling in for Al-Kaety today, Brown did her best Terry McAuliffe impersonation. Interviewing Tim Russert, Brown showed a clip from the swift boat veterans' TV commercial in which a number of Kerry's fellow veterans question his honesty and integrity.
Campbell was utterly disinterested in whether the charges are true. Indeed, she effectively seemed to presume the falseness of the allegations.
She observed to Russert: "Republican Sen. John McCain says the ad is dishonest and dishonorable." She then asked: "Should the Bush campaign be doing the same thing?"
Was the ad factual? Campbell could care less. Bush must apologize!
Brown then got an answer she surely didn't want when discussion turned to Kerry's attack on W for not immediately leaving the elementary school classroom when informed of the second 9/11 plane attack. She observed: "Kerry has faulted Bush for a scene people are familiar with from Fahrenheit 911." NBC then displayed Rudy Giuliani's response: "Kerry must be frustrated if he is campaigning based on cues from Michael Moore."
Russert's response: "I'm surprised that Kerry raised it. He might be preaching to the choir. I'm not sure how it will play with independents." When someone in Russert's position says he was "surprised," you know it means that he thought it was a mistake.
Campbell concluded by asking Russert who won the week.
Russert: "What happpened after the Dem convention was that everything froze after the terror alerts. People in both camps believe any time you're talking about terror rather than the economy, it's a plus for the Bush campaign."
Today Show ping.

Kerry must explain himself. Why did he hunt down a wounded VC teen and machinegun him in the back?
"Code Blue, Code Blue on the possum! Get Kerry in here right away!"
Did Russert have any comments about the swift boats ad?
I think that the stench of a loser is starting to settle on Kerry. Note that as part of Giuliani's response to Kerry's attack on W for his reaction on 9/11, Rudy said that "Kerry must be frustrated" when he adopts such tactics.
In other words, Kerry knows he's going down and is starting to panic. When Rudy can slip that kind of assertion into his statement and not be called on it, you know that it has become part of conventional wisdom. That is devastating for Kerry.
Cool!
I know that bitch...
Frankly I can't remember Russert's response on the swift boat ads. It was nothing remarkable. Certainly didn't condemn the ad or say Bush must apologize. I think his response was more along the lines of the ad showing how the campaign is heating up on both sides.
The White House has already given a response to the Swift Boat commercial. It's just not the response the media wants to hear.
Cuute!!!
Well, at least the Kool-Aid has a rejuvenating effect!
Suggested new Kerry campaign theme song: "Killing Me Softly" by Roberta Flack.

LOL and it fits, cause it is not the "terrorists" that he see as the enemy.
Campbell Brown is assigned to the WH ... she makes no pretense whatsoever covering her disdain for Bush. At a WH news conference awhile back President Bush was taking questions, Campbell Brown was picked to ask a question (which I don't recall) the expression on her face and the tone of her voice, her overall demeanor, projected absolute contempt. This woman has lost all objectivity ... she needs to be employed elsewhere.
