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.

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.

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.

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. :)

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.

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?????

[Clara Lou]

Oh, gee-- Russert is reading to Paul O'Neill from "The New Republic." LOL Then he tops it off with a question to O'Neill: Are you on your way out?
O'Neill is a man of grace and civility, with an amazing lack of blarney and dancing around issues. I LIKE O'Neill.

[YaYa123]

I couldn't count the times Russert lost his cool, and interrupted O'Neill. He was almost frantic, desperate to grill O'Neill, and even more determined not to let O'Neill's responses be heard because he didn't like what he heard.

Very transparent performance by Russert!!

Doris Goodwin says that Bush doesn't have a fire in his belly when it comes to criticizing corporate malfeasance, unlike his response to terrorism, therefore the citizens don't believe he has the same commitment to cleaning up the boardroom as he does to fighting terrorists. Duh..

Jeez, Doris, do you and your fellow RATs think he should have the same outrage for a cyclic plunge on Wall Street as he had for terrorists that caused real humans to plunge from the 100th floor of the WTC? Give us a break!! Real Americans outside the beltway, distressed as they are about current stock market conditions, know the loss of thousands of lives compared to thousands of dollars just ain't the same. What a dolt!!
