Tim Russert joins David Gregory in trying to justice racism and mysogyny..

[Skidmore]

Anyone else watching MTP while Tim tries to "yeah, but" his way through a round table about Imus. Gwen Ifill is on this panel. She keeps pushing it back.

1. Of course he is. He was a frequent guest on Imus. All of the media

who went on the show and yuked it up with Imus and his merry band of neanderthals have to somehow justify themselves.

2. Gregory looks like his best friend died...

Haven't seen Timmy yet on this...comoing up here in Philly.

This was Gregory's venue to give backstory and show people htat he's a regular guy. Best NBC guy I ever saw on Imus and the funniest was, believe it or not, Chip Reid. He was a laff riot without being raciest or sexist or whatever.

3. David Brooks is part of this panel and he is showing himself

as stupider than normal for him. He truly doesn't get it at all.

5. I'm watching MTP and Potato Head is really trying to rehab Imus'

image. He just said that if Imus said he was going to "commit" himself to changing his attitude and work toward improving the discussion then Potato Head said he would definitely watch or listen to his show.

Gregory, Brooks, Potato Head and all of the other shills who appeared on Imus' show have spent the entire week talking out of both sides of their mouths. "What Imus said was terrible BUT.... BUT.... BUT...."

This is more about trying to justify their appearances on this pandering fool's show then it is about Imus. They are caught with they pants down and they are still trying to tap dance out of this.

4. And Gwen Ifill is putting each one of them in their place, she was wonderful.

with any hope at all, they heard her.

10. Hopefully,

all the viewers heard her, too. She is one classy lady.

6. Tell me, why isn't THIS guy gone? This happened JUST LAST MONTH.

Listen to the clip. The whole thing--so you get to hear the song (offensive--fair warning).

The difference between this asshat and Anus in the Morning--the latter opposed the war.

13. We have a winner!!

and Imus was a Republican, who spewed more venom against Hilary Clinton than he did against the Rutgers basketball team. Imagine whats going to happen to more liberal members of the media in the future, while the Limbaughs, Becks, Orileys, Weiners etc etc while continue to spew their racist message.

7. Russert 'feels sorry for Imus and his family'...

I'll just be he does. Ifill really did let him have it. Nicely.

Brooks is a giant self-serving asshole..how DARE he state that eh doesn't know what's going on. He's a liar. Not knowing what Imus does is like saying you don't know who Don Rickles is and what he does. Bullshit.

[CTyankee]

12. And he does it with that dreamy look on his face with a half smile

as if to say that he is floating above it all.

[MADem]

14. Well, if Russert isn't godfather to Imus's kid, he is the next best thing. NT

8. No one justifies it - the debate seems to be about the appropriate outcome.

9. "trying to justice" or "trying to justify"?

This mean-spirited, small minded attack is brought to you by AA!

11. Of course.. The "boyz" lost their Klubhouse Krew..

now they have nowhere to hang out and act all "naughty" .. Now they have to be serious and do real work :)
