6. Considering Jeff Gannon .........
a gay male hustler who pretended to be a reporter so he could
ask soft ball questions to & * and Puffy McMoon Face AKA Scott McCellen
was outed and Timmy didn't say shit I pretty much know he is nothing
more then an errand boy for GE.

What would have happened if a Gannon was in Clinton's White House?

3. Russert today
Russert did do a good job hitting Bush's minion Mehlman today no-and-ifs-or-buts.

10. Russert as always
Works a script, or structures his show, (with videos and graphics specific to that line at the ready) that holds tightly to time limits. If he were to hit then pursue what appears a promising line of questioning it would be great for us. But the setup is the problem. If Amy Goodman were to do an interview with Mehlman it would be long with many tangents pursued. Russert was good as he could be working for NBC Corporate media.

5. My jaw dropped when Timmy called Mehlman on his linkage of Saddam and 9/11
Maybe the MSM is growing a spine. But, until I see more evidence of this, I'm going with the dog.

14. As insane as Les is i will give him credit for one and one thing only
he has been very respectful of Helen Thomas and has given Scott McClellan shit at briefings for the way her talks to her.

13. Certainly a more competent group!
Except for Helen, of course.

Such adorable pups!

11. Excellent question
Edited on Sun Nov-13-05 11:03 AM by Lefty48197
Russert did ask one good question today. (sort of) He pointed out that there was no connection between Iraq and 9/11/01, but he failed to follow up when Mehlman 2-stepped around the punch.
Spicy meatballs, on the other hand, often pose more important questions than Russert does. For instance: It's late in the evening... ...will this spicy meatball cause me indigestion? nightmares??? How about my diet? Will it allow another spicy meatball? Am I possibly a vegetarian, and I just don't remember? Hindu? Russert never delves into issues this deeply. I'll vote for the meatball (the spicy one, not the talking meatball)
<On edit: I didn't know we could vote for dogs, so I'll vote for the puppies>

12. I go for the spicy meatball -- it least it's not biased
it will give EVERYONE heartburn.

I just watched him harrassing Howard Dean.

Wish he pressed the Republicans for "specifics". Especially during both Campaign 2000 and 2004.

Wer'e not even in Campaign mode yet, however Russert is DEMANDING this info from Dean.

16. MEATBALL
has it ALL OVER Russert,

spicy or plain, the humble meatball has exhibited more astute questioning skills sitting on its serving plate, than Tim Russert.

looks better, too
