who is the clueless/spineless twit hosting cnn right now?

[Gabi Hayes]

first rand paul, then tom fitton, (of all people!) from judicial watch....

spewing the most obvious BS, with all but the most obsequious pushback. his treatment of lunatic fitton was most appalling, hanging on his every word, then slavishly thanking him for deigning to be on any show outside alex jones. how low is cnn sinking this afternoon?

1. reminds me of when Cheney's staffer said when they really wanted

to get their view of things out there, the first stop was Tim Russert

amazed at how many here still rest under the delusion that he was anything but the crassest of mouthpieces for the Cheney Administration

who said it.

Memo to Tim Russert: Dick Cheney thinks he controls you.

This delicious morsel about the "Meet the Press" host and the vice president was part of the extensive dish Cathie Martin served up yesterday when the former Cheney communications director took the stand in the perjury trial of former Cheney chief of staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.

Flashed on the courtroom computer screens were her notes from 2004 about how Cheney could respond to allegations that the Bush administration had played fast and loose with evidence of Iraq's nuclear ambitions. Option 1: "MTP-VP," she wrote, then listed the pros and cons of a vice presidential appearance on the Sunday show. Under "pro," she wrote: "control message."

"I suggested we put the vice president on 'Meet the Press,' which was a tactic we often used," Martin testified. "It's our best format."
