Anyone watching Meet the Press--specifically CO senate debate?
Russert just made Pete Coors look like a complete idiot.

He asked Coors about his stance on gay marriage and gay couples having the right to adopt. Coors said it's bad--that he's in favor of traditional family values. Russert then showed him a press release that says the Coors company is sponsoring a huge, gay-friendly festival in Canada this month. When asked if he saw a conflict of interest, Coors said no.

He also intimated that he was okay lowering the drinking age in CO to 18.

I hope that people in CO watch this today and see him for the pandering, corporate shill that he is.

1. Pandering? You betcha!
How much say does a U.S. Senator have in the legal drinking age in a state? Going after the 18 to 20-year-olds, maybe?

2. It was great when Russert brought that info out.
Coors is about as hypocritical as you can get.
