[lavenderdiva]

to Tim Russert on NBC's 'Meet the Press', next Sunday, January 30th.

1. I'll watch it, but I don't like Russert

[justy329]

3. why not?

Russert is a very fair journalist.

[AmerDem]

5. lol

good one!...or at least I hope you were trying to be funny. If not, lord help us!

[justy329]

8. i was not being sarcastic.

if anything, he has a liberal bias as he worked for the liberal democrat Mario Cuomo.

I did not know Russert was a target of this site. Do enlighten me.

[babylonsister]

9. Do you watch him at all? I detect

NO liberal bias.

[justy329]

11. I don't see a liberal bias

or a conservative bias.

I thought that Russert is one of the last remaining truly non-partisan, tough on both sides journalist.

[gordianot]

10. He had Bush in his clutches and totaly wimped.

So So many questions could have been answered without spin. Russert let him walk. You have to be polite and not follow up in questions to Bush, Russert deferred.

21. Russert's from my home town, I've talked to people who know him and they

all say he's very VERY liberal

[AmerDem]

2. oh, just great

another chance for that pork chop faced repuke to smear a Democrat.

[Freddie Stubbs]

4. Kerry is a big boy and quite capable of defending himself

Ressert is a tough interviewer who will trip up an unprepared guest. Kerry will do just fine.

[AmerDem]

7. Russert does his damnedest to trip up those

he wants to trip up and at the same time let's fascist criminals like Dickhead Cheney skate through.

and before it even gets started, I'm not about to get into a back and forth with you over this pork chop faced fucktard.

[bush_is_wacko]

6. Now, Now, Kerry won't be that easy to smear. He has the TRUTH on his side

If Russert tries to smear him, he'll likely not get very far. Kerry has just come back from Iraq and several other middle east countries. Iraq is falling apart and we are hearing and seeing that is the case more and more every day. Kerry is an effective speaker in this environment. Any smear attempt will likely be effectively shoved right back in his face!

I can't wait to see it!

[Quakerfriend]

12. Me too!

It's very good timing for Kerry, having just gotten back from the war zone. He will have a lot of stuff to say I'm sure. And, I think that he's FINALLY stepping up.......not that I question his judgement.

And BTW, the DU astrologers over yonder say this is going to be one wopper of a week! Let's see what happens!

[bush_is_wacko]

13. Astrologers with inside information! Now that's a prediction I can't

wait to witness come true!
:bounce:

[zann725]

20. Oh come on, don't let us hanging! What, what do the astrologers say?

I know it's a full moon out there. But what?

[jjtss]

14. will have to tune in....

What this country needs is more of Kerry's sanity and less of G.Brish.
There's an article in todays WP on MSNBC site about the things on G. Brish's agenda in Europe, and his determination to bring Germany and Russia to heel. Scares the HEEEEEEEEEELL out of me. With more Kerry leadership even in a less than presidential capacity we can at least fool ourselves into a composure of false security from time to time.
Sort of a time out from G.Brish's CRISIS governance.

15. Is it NBC or MSNBC?

I went to the NBC website but when I clicked on Meet the Press it took me to MSNBC. I couldn't tell if that was just for the rerun or if that was its normal channel.

[babylonsister]

16. Russert is now on both MSNBC and NBC.

The front page refers to today, as Negraponte was a guest.

[PennyK]

17. Let's just hope...

...that he keeps his message clear and doesn't trip over his own tongue. I really liked today's NYTimes piece about his being being a "shadow President"...and I'm excited that he will be introducing his health care plan for children this week.

[kerrygoddess]

18. The Shadow President

I liked that piece from the NY Times too... here's a link to what I wrote about it:

19. Really nice, Pamela!

I'm as angry as anyone over this stolen election, and it seems to help A LOT to have something or someone to feel even a little bit hopeful about!
