SUNDAY'S MTP will not feature any Democrats, Just Pro-War McCain and Lieberman!
Edited on Fri Nov-10-06 03:32 AM by FrenchieCat
After Tuesday's historic rout of Republicans, Tim Russert has invited
pro-Iraq war Lieberman and McCain to come to this Sunday's show...

Like we've not seen enough of those two......! :boring:

The 2006 election was defined by a) a repudiation of the war in Iraq
and the current Iraq strategy, and b) widespread national victories for
Democratic House, Senate, and gubernatorial candidates.

Yet, according to a press aide, this Sunday's edition of NBC's Meet the
Press will include two interviews: one with Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-CT),
an Iraq war supporter who defeated Ned Lamont (D-CT), and one with
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), who recently called for 20,000 additional U.S.
troops to be sent to Iraq, and who was not up for reelection in 2006.

In other words, the first post-election edition of Meet the Press will
exclusively feature politicians who support the war in Iraq, neither of
whom ran as a Democrat.

2. Their new motto
"NBC--sliding into irrelevance as quickly as we possibly can."

9. It appears that this is what is happening....
So now that Democrats are in power, they will continued to be ignored? :wtf:

Even having Biden on would have been more relevant! :eyes:

4. This is the first media event.......
of the 2008 presidential campaign.

It's Russert's equivalent of putting up Christmas lights the day after July 4th.

5. So, the American voters have spoken ... and Russert still ignores them.
What an asshole.

Great pic, BTW. Lieberman looks so cozy.

6. Ask why the Democrats are boycotting their show.
Obviously, they couldn't get anyone important to appear.

8. Okay, that's exactly what I wrote them:
"I was just told the Sunday lineup was washed-up McCain and the Independent Lieberman. I was shocked. I know your coverage was biased, but are the Democrats seriously boycotting you now that they have power? Why couldn't you get anyone who actually matters?"
