Tim Russert was an absolute JERK towards Howard Dean today

I've never, ever once seen him badger Republicans like he badgered Dean.

He accusatory tone. His distorting Dean's words. His finger pointing.

The bastard :grr:

I really can't stand that swollen S of a B.

I didn't see it but from the desciption ..it's like all the other times I've seen potatohead pull the Spanish Inquisition on the Dems.

after all, Dean isn't a candidate anymore.

are scared - they seemed to have squelched any rational antiwar facts coming out, like pulling Donahue's show, not covering the pre-war protests that were erupting in most big cities and most of all cheering on the "War on Terror" - they wanted big ratings and worse.

They seemed to function as propagandists and what happened to Hitler's team? They were tried in court too.

If Smirky goes down, so do they (and i have my doubts that they covered the investigation of IX/XI correctly also.)

We will get nothing but hostility from them. They will never speak up for justice - because they can't.

The best we can do is to keep turning off the tv news shows.

Ignore them.

questions when bushie* had his day on Meet the Press.

he did everything but stroke bush under the desk, and who knows, maybe he did.
Timmy loves to act all tough and gruff around Dems, around Pukes he's as meek as a lamb. He may ask one tough question of them and the rest of the time is devoted to non-stop joking and ego stroking.
I wouldn't have even watched today if it wasn't for Dean being on, but I should have guessed what Timmy's demeanor would be like.

That was the most digusting hour I've ever seen.Seems like he took the Rove/Bu$hco marching orders real good today. He makes me sick. Those darting eyes filled with so much glee when he thinks he has a democrat cornered....oh God,I can't stomach much more of this shit. :puke:

He is nothing more than a RW toadie who works only to get GOPigs elected. The only thing that seperates him from Rush or Coulter is that sometimes he'll ask a repig a tough question to make him appear "impartial". He is not a journalist, there's nothing informative that comes from him.

...how many times did Whoresert smile in the 50 minute interview?

He always has a yuk with his masters. Maybe Dean should have mentioned the Bills. :eyes:

the class A asshole!!!!

:mad: :nuke: :grr:

thats why gets paid the big-bucks, the bastard

peace

that Russert was constantly on the attack).

That was a very good interview. If Russert had been any softer, it would have been a wiffle ball interview. Dean got the opportunity to answer every nasty thing Republicans have said and did a very good job. I give him an 85, and you know coming from me that's huge praise.

try searching out Russert's interviews with Cheney.

Dean had alot of time to answer questions and wasn't interrupted. Russert didn't confront him on some obvious maneuvering. It wasn't the toughest interview ever. If it had been any softer, it would have been a Cheney wiffle ball interview. I'm glad it wasn't. We don't need that either.

I agree with you.

Why is Hell freezing over? :shrug:

Does he do that with Republicans? I've only seen him do that to Democrats, which is why I don't watch that big fat steaming turd anymore.

is that Dean gaffed regarding the * admin's assertion of a Saddam-Osama connection. Dean got the names backwards in contending that Saddam had nothing to do w/ 9-11. (He said Osama had nothing to do w/ it.)
I am certain that had a repuke had switched names in making a point Russert would have corrected him. Instead, Russert let Dean go on w/ it, making the goof 2 more times!
The repukes use any opportunity for ridicule, and as little of an issue as this really is, I would not be surprised if it turns up on RW talk radio & blogs.
We Dems cannot give these evil bastards one inch. We need to be as calculating and polished w/ our message as they are. We have to play their game as well as they do!

I was hoping Boar Russert would be decent enough to correct him,but then why should he? He's a cheer leader for bu$h and his gang of thugs.Dean should be more careful when he talks....he makes a lot of blunders,and THAT we don't need.

I know this is going to make the national news... "DNC Chairman Dean claims bin Laden had no connection to 9/11 Attacks"

that OBL had a connection w/the attacks on September 11, 2001?

If I have missed such evidence, please post it here.

TIA

jerk, Rethuglican mouthpiece (timmy boy)

go flog your dumbass book that nobody wants, Russert.

I can't believe he thought anyone on this planet gave a shit about his father... yet all his media pals obediently lined up to give him interviews. Two or three times apiece!

I wonder what the sales figures are... he probably bought a few thousand himself to give out as Christmas presents for the next 10 years.

If people don't watch, he'll fade away.

that republicans-conservatives are correct, and anyone who dares to challenge them MUST be wrong, and should be grilled to try and PROVE themselves..


THAT'S what really wrong with journalism.. They START with a false premise, and there's no way a non-conservative can ever be given credibility.. They have to "over-earn" what conservatives are given freely and from the beginning.

I though Dean's answers were direct, and his delivery seamless. After 15 minutes, I didn't even notice Russert.

When they interview Democrats (especially outspoken ones like Dean and Clark), they often start sentences with the word "BUT."

"But sixteen years ago, you said..."
"But Republicans would answer that by saying..."
"But is that really a legitimate statement..."
"But wouldn't you have to agree..."
"But what about the claim that..."
"But doesn't that kind of talk..."
"But do Democrats have a plan..."
"But isn't it true that Preznit Bush..."

All of that might be acceptable IF they did the same to Republicans, but they DON'T!!!

Anyway, I think Dean did a great job in the interview -- particularly when Timmy asked if he'd retract something (I think it was the Delay-in-jail remark). Dean's reply all but said, "HELL no!" (Same thing Judy Woodruff did to General Clark when Saddam was captured, and the General was testifying at the Hague. "But don't you now want to take back what you said about Preznit Bush? You're not going to retract what you said? Even at a time like this?!?" I'll never forget it.)

I hope we'll see more of Dean on the talk shows!

He is a pig IMO.

I thought he did well, kept his cool and except for that Osama whoopsie got his points across strongly despide Russert.

Maybe that it is his job.
