Timmy Russert hot on his democratic talking points today. Starts out asking Sec O'Neill, "So you're not going to resign?" What a rude POS!!!

[Savage Beast]

Yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnn.... ...I'd rather stare into space.

[TomGuy]

Russert is skewering O'Neill. O'Neill acts like he doesn't have a clue as to what's going on with the economy.

Timmy Russert hot on his democratic talking points today. Starts out asking Sec O'Neill, "So you're not going to resign?"

Have Timmy and the Democrats blamed the airshow crash on GW yesterday yet?

[SkyPilot]

MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin

Great! Now she can invent history and quotes for us again.

All that is missing is Maureen Dowd.

[SkyPilot]

Disaster at Ukrainian Airshow

Democrats Blame President Bush for ‘Lack of Comprehensive Planning.’

New York Times journalist Maureen Dowd to author Monday’s column-- “Cutesy, flippant piece on the tragedy, and how 'Dubya' and his Poppy don't 'get it.'!”

[Oldeconomybuyer]

I wonder if Robert Rubin's name will be mentioned on any of the talking head shows today?

[Alas Babylon!]

Tim is disgusting this morning. His venom is Carvillian.

He asked O'Neil if he is "Totally out of touch with the American People?" Gee, I thought that described big media types like Timmy.

Now he's quoting Robert Rubin to attack Bush on the economy and corporate corruption. No quotes about Rubin loaning millions of $$ to Enron though.

O'Neill is too much of a nice guy, and Timmy knows it, hence the shark attack.

[Alas Babylon!]

See my number 10. Only to attack the Treasury Secretary! LoL!!!

[GRRRRR]

CNN's Washington "Spewreau" VP & Chiefette, Katherine Kross was on CSPAN. They took a call from a lady in FLA...perhaps a FREEPER???, who told em she watches FOXNews for the balance etc., and then proceeded to remind the little news bimbette about the Enron-Rubin-Clintoon connection and why they weren't covering it, why they took their marching orders from the NY Slimes (Times)etc...

GRRRRRollin For the USA!

[bird humming]

Re: Timmy's show... WHY are 'they' rehabbing Doris? Thought she was a pariah! Hope Timmy asks her about how life has changed since she was outed as a plagiarist. And what she plans to plagiarize in the future. :)

[mafree]

Looks like Timmy Potato Head is determined to use O'Neill to blame Bush for the state of the economy. Frankly, O'Neill is kinda weak and isn't fighting back like he should. At this time, the Bush administration needs an economic attack dog who will play hardball with the bashers.

[G.Mason]

"Yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnn.... ...I'd rather stare into space."

I'll join you.

It's for sure we will learn more and be better entertained!

[Alas Babylon!]

Agreed. Still, if big media will twist, spin, and lie in order to push an agenda, shame on them. I could choose to interview anyone, but my questions should be factual, fair, and not loaded.

[Agent Smith]

CORRECTION

MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Presidential historian AND PLAGIARIST Doris Kearns Goodwin

[TomGuy]

Meet the Press: Doris don't have her formerly almost giddy smiley face on. She appears rather sedate.

[mware]

WHAT????? No Robert Torricelli?????

[YaYa123]

Agree!!! The C-span caller you quote was excellent!!!

I mentioned it on another thread, but forgot that she praised FOXNews so highly.
