Hillary’s revenge. She executed her payback for him asking that question about the (then) New York governor’s (what was his name again?) law for drivers licenses for illegals.
Russert’s question at that first debate — and Hillary’s horrible answer — started her slide into defeat. Rush asked that question of his radio audience before Russert asked it of Hillary, so Rush likes to take credit for it. Therefore, Rush — look out! Hillary’s on the warpath!
YIKES!!! That's RIGHT!! He did start her snowballing downfall... She probably had a Russert Voodoo doll!
“Hillary’s revenge.”
That’s what the Clintons do to those who get ‘uppity’ with them. It serves as a warning to Obama too.
I thought I remembered Russert getting vilified by the uberlefties after that debate for “daring to ask such questions”. Honestly, that was the first thing that came to mind. That’s a pretty sad first thought but speaks to what we expect from the Democrats nowadays.
I agree that Russert’s question to HIllary about the drivers license for illegals and Hillary’s subsequent waffling on the question was what started hurting Hillary’s standing in the polls. Russert made sure Hillary did not get away with her usual equivocating, unlike other moderators. I thought that was one of the best moments in this debate season.
