Huffington Post rips EZ Pass Tim on MTP again....

[Democrat 4 Ever]

I am a big fan of the Huffington Post. Nice eclectic bunch of bloggers hitting all the major issues that interest me. Right now Arianna has a jihad going on against EZ Pass Tim Russert of Meet the Press. She nails it again this week. For your reading pleasure -

This week on “Russert Watch”

Arianna

It may be a premature declaration of victory (they are all the rage these days after all), but after today’s “Meet the Press,” Russert Watch is ready to declare victory.

Really, you ask? The show’s gotten better? Russert is actually asking follow up questions and holding his guests accountable? Of course not. Sadly, this victory is pretty minor. Last week, you may recall, we noted that the show had degenerated into a series of reading exercises, with Russert putting three- and four-page quotes up on the screen and, yes, reading them to his television audience. This week, the quotes were down to a minimum, and they dressed up the quote screen a bit.

Now if we could just get Tim to ask the kind of follow-up questions that would result in his guests having to draw some conclusions from the points they’re making, that would be a real victory.

This week, it was John McCain who was waved right on through by E-ZPass Tim.

If McCain is so respected by the American people for being a gutsy truth-teller, shouldn’t he be held to that standard on “Meet the Press”? Right from the beginning of the show, McCain ran down the mistakes that were being made in the war in Iraq, but at no point did Russert ask him who was responsible for the mistakes and who should be held accountable.

1. Duh! It goes without saying who's responsible.

Bill Clinton! Although to her credit, Hillary is picking up more and more slack and should soon be responsible for everything.

2. Compare the Interviews of Dean against Condiliesalot

I am sure you will see Russert asking Dean the hard questions, but just gets on his knees and kisses Condiliesalot Rice's ass...
