Pathetically....Tim Russert worked furiously to make Scott McClellan look like a liar!

[glarius]

I just watched Meet the Press and was disgusted by how Russert tried to trip up McClellan and make him seem unbelievable! DISGUSTING!

1. Obviously McLellan needs to be destroyed..

Can't go around reminding people that the media (Russert and all included) was helping spread propaganda, and that there's more to journalism than just parroting talking points.

[tsuki]

2. Isn't Russert Cheney's go-to guy? eoq

[kevinmc]

3. he called out the press in his book .....

saying they didn't do their job. They have to destroy him for that. Instead of doing their job they make excuses and destroy any criticism. Worthless Fuckers.

4. Oily Ickes

ick

5. Chris has him on Hardball

tomorrow night. Ought to be good. I know Chris is wishy washy but he seems to have come over from the dark side lately.

6. Duh!

What else did you expect from that Rethug hack?

[MonkeyFunk]

7. Umm.... Scott McClellan IS a liar

Isn't that pretty much the gist of his book?

[shireen]

9. "was" a liar

He admitted lying while he was press secretary in the book.

I believe McClennan. He seems to have undergone a similar transformation as David Brock.

I'm watching the interview right now .... in the beginning, he says he was "caught up" in the Washington climate. Tim Russert and his elite Washington insider press buddies have been caught up in it for years. Russert is pathetic.

8. russert is beign true to his party - thugs

[malaise]

10. What's interesting so far is that he does not ask

one question about the facts. He's only interested in destroying Scotty. Scotty is an asshole for not exposing them while he was in office but Timmy has some nerve even raising the issue of 'shading the truth'.
Russert continues to do more than shade the truth. He uses translucent non-erasable red markers.

[spanone]

11. they talk about loyalty, what about loyalty to the constitution and the nation

[gratuitous]

12. Is this the same Tim Russert whose default setting is "off the record"?

"Pathetic" is the precise word I would use.

[hokies4ever]

13. Russert tries to own everybody on his show

That's just what he does. The bigger the name or more important the story, the harder he tries.

14. Timmeh works for the Empire

General Electric brings bad things to life, like permanent war.

[alfredo]

15. Scottie did OK.

[jazzjunkysue]

16. Could Ickes be slimier?

Is everyone in DC deranged?

[DCKit]

17. Hold on there....

I'll admit to being pretty twisted, but deranged?

18. Former MSNBC correspondent Jessica Yellin

Said she was pressured by her producers to carry the White House line. Yellin was assigned to the White House at the time. Would she have been working out of the Washington bureau? Isn't Tim Russert the senior editor there? I'm surprised nobody is looking into this.
