1. I heard that, Katie said he was tired...

yeah right! :eyes:

[luaneryder]

3. Wow, "tired" is becoming

a great excuse lately. I'm going to start using it.

[eurolefty]

10. Who isn't tired of Bush?

It's not an excuse. It's a fact. :evilgrin:

[Richardson08]

4. Cut Katie some slack...she just broke up with Tom Werner

[papau]

16. I knew there had to be a reason she turned hard & OK'd GE spin last few

weeks!

Thanks for the heads up.

I did not want to start to dis Katie since she has been so nice (OK - she gets down on staff on ocassion but that was about it).

I hope she comes back quickly to the ethical nice lady she has been over the years.

15. tired

It's hard work!

[Gothic Sponge]

2. I saw that!

Unreal

[Bullshot]

5. Russert's head is so far up Bush's butt,

and Bush regularly gets Kerry and Kennedy mixed up, so it naturally passes on to Russert.

7. Good he dumped her

Maybe she can go marry into the Bush family now since she loves them so much.

12. C'mon, people...

Katie is not a Bushlicker. Matter of fact, her late sis was a Dem Rep from the Charlottesville area of Virginia. Give her a break -- she's not supposed to be an employee of the DNC, y'know.

6. Oh you mean Ted, I was thinking this was a good thing

if they were referring to Jack.

Maybe the listeners will make that connection too... Jack... Nixon... lost debate... and so on.

[slor]

8. They are talking about JFK...

there are many similarities between them. It is not Ted Kennedy, although that would not be bad either IMO.

[LittleClarkie]

11. Ah, the way the thread was reading

I figured it was a put down. In some people's eyes, Teddy is a putdown.

Well then, let Tim be tired. I like the comparison between JFK and JFK. Makes sense since JFK is the reason JFK got into politics in the first place.

9. Russert Is Going Along With Bush's Tactic.

We already know that they've abandoned the "flip-flop" label and their final game plan is to try and demonize Kerry by using "liberal" as some sort of scarlet-letter of shame.

The comparisons to Ted Kennedy are NOT accidental. The 'mis-speaks' of transposing Kennedy for Kerry are NOT accidental.

Tim Russert is a Republican SHILL and is helping to do their dirty work by planting the idea that Kerry is an evil liberal Mass-uh-chew-sits librul.

HEY, RUSSERT! GO TO FOX!! They'll love you over there!

[Leilani]

13. Was Russert in NY or Washington?

Andrea Mitchell was on Imus & said they took a red eye back east after the TV coverage, & they hadn t been to sleep.

[arwalden]

14. I Got The Impression That He Was Still In Arizona.

... but I'm not certain.

[fugop]

17. No bad on MSNBC

Just caught Russert on MSNBC and I thought he was actually pretty fair. He's saying that he expects a swing soon to one or the other and adds that while it could be a repeat of 2000 with the tight race, he doesn't think it will be. Here's hoping!
