Lauer and Russert near to finally earning their black belts in whoring

[underpants]

video 7 of 9 here (30 second NBC "Revelations" commercial at the beginning)
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032633/?ta=y

These are all close quotes

Lauer: He IS the first President to ever go to the funeral of a Pope (hmm who was the first to welcome a Pope to the White House?) so this is historically significant isn't it?

Russert:It IS historically significant....(he mentioned the attacks on Al Smith "digging a tunnel to the Vatican?" and JFK for being Catholic (hmm wonder who did that?).....this President is comfortable mixing religion and politics...White Middle Class Protestants used to be born Democrat and baptized Catholic...Bush won the Catholic vote in both 2000 and 2004

-Here was the real kicker-

Lauer:Can we FINALLY put this whole Carter controversy to bed-cites Boston Globe op/ed (I think)- "Is that the end of the story?"

Russert:"I put it down as a big misunderstanding....we won't know what really happened to until the memoirs are written" -Really whose memoir?

At the end the showed a poll in which everyone associated with the Schiavo thing (W, Congress, media) had > 50% disapproval over what happened there.

Russert actually said that the media was taking the blame on it (No one else?)

Lauer has a bit surprised.

They were SO close to grabbing that brass ring too.

1. That should be the Black Chastity Belt Award with the zip-lock

2. GE owned and operated, what do you expect?

3. Russert will be so historically INsignificant, only he doesn't know it yet

He'll be a footnote under "Toadies in the Media During the Bush Regime".

[WI_DEM]

4. W couldn't have left Daddy home and should have taken Carter

after all he was the first president to welcome a Pope at the WH and that Pope happened to be John Paul II. The media should have pointed that out--but as you say they are a bunch of whores.
