"But the political fallout will continue for some time. Republicans are petrified. They believe that eight months from now they could lose control of Congress."

They should be petrified.

russerts a putz.

[satchmodog9]

Russert the tool as usual.

"But the political fallout will continue for some time."

Luckily the Dems are viewed even more unfavorably than the GOP.

[Altair333]

The Republicans don't deserve to get re-elected. We won the majority in both the House and Senate, a 2-term Republican president, and they are all fighting each other to see who can act more like big-government, free immigration liberals.

It's easy to understand why voters would think "if we're going to have Democratic policies regardless, might as well elect real Democrats."

[FreedomNeocon]

Well yeah, I would say they look like a bunch of turds after this week.

Ironically, in the long run, it will be their (percieved) "polically advantagous" oppostiion that will end up hurting them the most.

Has Tim Russert ever been in touch with the pulse of America?

Has Tim ever been concerned with the GOP's surviving a crisis?

Didn't think so.

Oh, Timmy....

NJ Sen. Menendez pushing Maher Terminals to replace UAE; follow the money

[Peach]

Uh, Russert, didn't you notice the absolute hysteria coming from Schumer, Clinton, Reid and Pelosi? Nice cherry picking there, Timmy.

Iraq,Ports,Corruption?

What happened to Katrina? Enron? Cheney was drunk? Stolen elections..............?

Is Russert slipping?

The Ports thing is simply a diversion from the Mexican Border.. The Chinese are and have been controling many many docking sites in both the western and eastern ports in a lot of citys.. Also the nations airports ALREADY have many docking stations controlled by foreign government airlines, governments that despise the U.S... Not a word about that mentioned..

Nah!.. its a diversion from the Mexican Border.. seems the flap was generated by BOTH parties.. Bush must be relieved.. it worked.. All eyes are OFF THE MEXICAN BORDER... Only those oblivious to whats happening are fooled.. which by the way is MOST PEOPLE.. thats why "they" did it..

[junta]

Bush spent years telling us about the terrorist threat and the consequenses of not preparing and now his minions have looked upon the souls of their fellow Americans and declared them "racist" for having qualms about allowing people from the same crappy neighborhood as the 9/11ers taking over a transportation hub. Yeah go figure that even the least disconnected American could put two and two together especially since that American can see granny get searched for fingernail clippers at the airport.

Check this out.

The UAE refuses to let any foreigner own a business unless that business is 51-percent owned by a UAE citizen national.

Actually the Republicans representatives I heard speak didn't know the difference between a port, a port terminal, and a port-a-potty.
