He's not throwing soft balls at Biden. He's putting the damn thing on a tee for him.
Newt is bashing the President. Argggggh he makes me so mad. It's easy to sit on the sidelines Newt, but when the water got to hot on your watch you bailed.
#81, you are right and it is always the way it is,some things never change. Russert,and all the DBM never ask the hard,probing,legitimate questions of these lightweights in Congress, and instead of making them stronger it really weakens them. They might as well be a Teacher giving the students(demorats) a test and giving them the answers in advance. When they are faxed all the talking points by the DNC that is really what they are doing. The Pubbies are always scrutinized, and the DBM makes sure they have only the Pubbies on that do not stand up very well to scrutiny like Trent Lott. How many times do you see Jeff Sessions,John Kyl,Saxby Chambliss or anyone that is really good on any of these Shows? They want the Egotistical old Goats that talk out of both sides of their mouths,like Hagel,Lugar,Susan Collins,etc. so they can make them look really stupid.
