And Russert was a willing dupe...just like he was with Clinton yesterday. THE first order of business for Russert (and Stephanopolis and Larry King) should have been for them to ask Clinton why he arranged to be on their shows at this time. They should have made clear to their audience whether, coincidentally they each called him to appear on their shows, or whether (as I suspect), Clinton offered himself up for the interviews.
And each one of them owed it to their audiences to ask Clinton why he wanted the airtime now, to criticize President Bush.
Did you see Papa Bush's comments from the Meadowlands Saints game where he did the official coin toss during Shep's show this evening....?
To paraphrase- When asked about Slick's comments (read bashing) to Stephie, HW said "well I imagine they'll be getting their fair share if Hillary runs for President"....!
