Why did RUSSERT massacre RICHARDSON about his governor record, but NOT Shrub in 2000/04?
Yeah, TimMAY and Tweety have been SO in luerve with Shrub, and they are SO "journalist"-------HAH!

All it took in 2000 was for Shrub to take a worn out slogan, "Don't mess with Texas," (an anti-LITTERING campaign) for these namby-pamby a-holes (we're talking TimMAY and Tweety) to ROLL OVER and kiss Shrub's ass. Shrub sounded SO TOUGH and MASCULINE.

How come ATWATER (with Poppy being OUT OF THE WIMP LOOP) could RAKE ACROSS THE COALS one Mr Governor DUKAKIS's record??? Why wasn't that considered "Messing with Massachusetts?"

So here we have TimMAY raking RICHARDSON for his state's being #47 in areas of children's health insurance coverage and education. How come TimMAY didn't ask Shrub about that in 2000 and 2004?

Texas (a rich state) has historically ranked 3rd from the BOTTOM in ALL areas of WHATEVER, just above Mississippi and Alabama (poor states) for decades.

Yes, TimMAY hasn't held Shrub-------much less CHEENEE---------accountable for ANYTHING!!!1



Yeah-yeah, I know.

1. Because Bush is a Repuke and Richardson isn't.
They don't need any other reason. (And yeah, I know you know that.)

5. NBC is the propaganda arm of GE, a major defense contractor.
They make a lot more money from weapons than they do from news, so they run propaganda instead.

Expect nothing but ass-kissing of the party of war profiteers - - the republicans.

8. Russert is a whore just like the rest of the media
Rove has had control over the media and everything they say since before 2000 and he is still telling them who to fry and who to give a pass.

9. Because Tim works for Jack Welch, who runs a defense corporation
And Jack Welch thinks NBC should promote news that benefits GE.

12. Timmy has to get at least one hit piece on Dems per election
I've noticed that he'll do at least one hit piece type interview on a Democratic candidate each election. He won't do it on a top polled candidate because that would result in him losing access should they be elected. He'll always pull it on a Democrat that is starting to gain some footing. He did it in the 2002 governor's election here in Florida when he was moderating the debates. He pretty much plunked a big wet one on Jebbie while he attacked Bill McBride, our candidate. All you have to do is read some his testimony during the Libby trial to realize that Timmy is an extreme whore.

14. If he had gone easy on Richardson he would have been accused at being in cahoots with the DLC
People will always see conspiracy.
