MACACA was drilled into the heads of Americans. It WAS part of the “culture of corruption” they warned us about. That and the outing of 2 homosexuals and a show trial against Tom DeLay that is STILL going nowhere on the prosecution side 3 years later.
Right you are~ That wasn’t just Russert, though, it was all the media including Fox News which disgusted me. Over and over, macaca, macaca, and they also did the same hammering of Dean over his enthusiastic yelling in the Dem primaries the year or two before. The media can use their repetitive rebukes to the point a candidate has no chance. Not that I have much sympathy for Dean not being a dem, but the observation still is valid.
