Jonah needs to hear from us, his praise of Russert is sickening.

In no way is Russert fair, he is an elitest of the highest order.

[BibChr]

I was appalled.

At Russert.

He rudely goes 33% over his promised time-limit, and is enraged when an aid has the gall to act as if there is anyone else in the universe besides Tim Russert.

What an arrogant ass.

Mr. Russert, I prescribe massive, daily doses of GTHOY.

>>>>Mr. Russert, I prescribe massive, daily doses of GTHOY.

That and a small glass of STFU juice each morning to relieve the pressure and bloating that accompany an overinflated self image.

[BibChr]

LOL

Repeat as needed. (Which, evidently, will be A LOT.)

[sharkhawk]

Russert displays the delusional thinking of a coked-out rock star.

Did Russert complain when Secretary of the interior Bruce Babbit stood up right after sitting down to an interview with John Stossel, saying I am going to fire whoever set up this interview?

[eggman]

The real question is why wasn't that edited out. It wasn't a major news item, it was just some egos and schedules clashing.

Because Russert wanted it to be a news item. The liberal media has been pushing the idea that the administration is too controlling when it comes to allowing them access. This fit their agenda and Timmy is making this non-story into a news item. Besides, it helps keep him front and center so that he can push his new book.

Babbit is part of the in crowd. The Washington power elite behaves no better than a snobby bunch of 10th graders attempting to bolster their crappy self esteem.

"Caption me."

Given that the infamous palm tree and the infamous Mr. Russert appear to be leaning at the same angle in that shot, one would assume (out of context) that either Russert is trying to imitate the tree or vice versa.

I think the tree won.

[Fraulein]

I couldn't help but laugh when I saw the photo you posted of the event in question. Cracks me up!

[linn37]

Mr. Powell come back,I'm not done accusing you and Bush of wrong doing yet!!!!

[SquirrelKing]

To his credit, Russert admitted on Hannity Monday that he overreacted, even talking about "conspiracy theories". And conservatives are supposed to be the knee-jerk crowd.

Personally, the pic looks like an interview with John Kerry.

"I am not a potted plant!"--works for either image.

[KosmicKitty]

Caption Me

Gee, he was here a minute ago.

Colin, Colin, yoohoo, where are you??

I swear, I just put him down, now where can he be?!

[bondjamesbond]

Secretary Powell, if you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?

< /babbawawwa>

[ampat]

I'm disappointed that powell let russert get away with what he did. Powell acted like a spineless politician who is more interested in getting reelected than demanding the press act in a civil manner.

[BadAndy]

A "professional" should know how to structure a 10 minute interview so that his most important questions don't come after 15 minutes.

[tubebender]

Russert... A former aide to former Governor Mario Cuomo and the late, great, Pat Moynihan

That's all you need to know about Bloated Russert...

[patriot_wes]

"I used to be a television producer"

I've alway wanted to ask a real television producer - why in 1925 did the leaders of the federal reserve system purchase every major newspaper in America? That would be fascinating to know and the elec. media never tells us about it.

[WOSG]

It wasnt editted out because Russert imagines this to be some kind of scoop. Aha! A Coverup!

[Tennessee_Bob]

"I talk to the trees, but they don't listen to me..."



Obscure musical reference.
