First Post-Election Meet the Press Features Exclusively Pro-War Politicians

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.

Digg it!

3. So when do you think the corporate media will figure out the Democratic

politicians won? When will they figure out we don't watch the news because it is so boringly ultra-right wing?

4. actually, I think the questions are likely to be fun.

I can't imagine the question of "Why should American soldiers continue dying in Iraq" won't be asked. Watching them try to do the "The next chaos will be worse than this chaos" jig should be fun and it will give us loads of video clips for 2008.

5. Russet-already helping McCain launch is bid.
