Blitzer should not go down to the levels of character attack and pull 'a Russert.''

NEW CATCH PHRASE -- "Pulling A Russert"

We have 'Borking' (Borked), 'Swiftboating' (Swiftboated), and now 'Pulling A Russert' (Pulled A Russert).

oops almost forgot - 'Getting A Monica'

Don’t forget: "Clymer" = a “major league asshole”

Background: At a Labor Day event in Naperville, Ill., September 4, 2000, apparently unaware of an open microphone, Gov. George W. Bush was waving and smiling to the crowds. Bush and his running mate, former Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, seemed to be enjoying the generous reception.

Then Bush spotted New York Times reporter Adam Clymer, who had a reputation for errors of omission and commission.

“There’s Adam Clymer — major league asshole — from the New York Times,” Bush said.

“Yeah, big time,” returned Cheney.
