Tim Russert proclaimed Obama the Primary winner early and was a Cheerleader for the Iraq Invasion
Edited on Mon Jun-16-08 03:03 PM by crankychatter
Russert proclaimed Obama the winner - Russert cheer-led the Iraq Invasion

now the poor soul is gone BUT

Clinton AND Obama supporters from the old GD P, can vilify, eulogize, criticize and defend him with unfettered vehemence.

I'd like to think the topic has more value than a therapy tool for poli-board junkies

"Where did those mean fellow Democrats touch you, Crankychatter? You're safe now. Here, show me on the Tim Russert Doll."

2. I agree... what was not to like? Did you see that interview with his son?
I'm sure he actually WAS, a helluva nice guy.

4. Didn't he have some role in Plamegate?
and Plamegate is being re-opened? He must have known something?

17. I think Libby or Rove tried to say he heard Plame was CIA from Russert
and Russert testified that he did not tell Libby/Rove anything of the sort.

6. oh the old gd-p primary foes clinton/obama-ites squaring off over russert
it's a proxy war... crazy too

because both sides have reasons to talk smack about poor old russert... and both sides have reasons to defend him

they're just ventilating because the primary is over and we're not allowed to mix it up any more

see?

instead of gettin a eulogy or critique... or in memoriam thread

his memory gets all kicked around because

DUers NEED FUCKIN THERAPY

I mean that in a kind and supportive way

7. Duers NEED FUCKIN THERAPY
Ain't that the truth.

I think most are just bored to death at this point. No one to fight with. No one to bully.

What's a jackass to do?
