Freakin Tim Russert! He finally has Edwards on his show but after his interview with him, when they have their usual roundtable discussion, Russert NEVER talks about Edwards.

You can’t make a man say something he’s being paid NOT to say.

You guessed it, Russert focused totally on Hiliary, even though David Broder (of all people) and Ted Koppel both said that the poll numbers mean nothing … I really loathe Tim Russert’s brand of “journalism”.

I still wonder if all those millions Hillary is getting will end up in the pockets of people like Russert. How else do you explain all those Sunday appearances and the NY Times front page and the week-long Hillary-fest?

The current poll numbers probably reflect that campaign surge more than anything substantial. After all, what has Hillary said or done that *was* substantial?

Russert grilled Edwards on campaign donations, talking about how Hiliary & Obama raised more than Edwards, yada, yada, yada. You know, the usual beltway topic. Edwards said something to the effect…

This is an election not an auction. — John Edwards

LOL I laughed my head off on that one. I’m going to have to look at the transcript but I thought it was a great line.

I’m glad that Edwards has been appearing more on national TV lately. I think it will do him a world of good to be seen and heard nationally.

I looked at the polling information they gave and was simply astounded to hear that anybody thought Hillary was the ‘best leader’ or ‘more electable’ than the other Dem presidential candidates.

What planet are those people coming from?

Do campaigns just out and out buy the polling companies?

Does the public not know Hillary except as first lady in pink?

Things are seriously out of whack if they truly believe those things about Hillary.

John Edwards is being described as phony for the haircut, for his ‘poverty’ policies while being rich, for working for a hedge fund and various other superficial things.

Is superficiality REALLY all the public hears about or cares about?

I find that hard to believe, so what is to be made of the constant attention the media gives HRC or the polling?

John Edwards IS the real deal, not phony. He’s worked for poor people, fighting corporations, his whole career! He made his money helping people.

All the candidates live in nice homes. Ask Hillary and Obama how much their homes cost?

I sure hope Iowans have better sense than the national polls indicate.

One other thing: Bill Richardson slammed Edwards by saying the ‘top 3′ don’t really want to leave Iraq. Fortunately, Edwards straightened that out on MtP by explaining that he would remove all combat troops from Iraq except those needed to guard the embassy.

What is the matter with Richardson? Was he misinformed? Why would he try to trash Edwards that way? I thought he was one of the good guy?

Edwards wants to leave Iraq. He made that plain; Hillary…not so much.

but jimmy carter proved beyond a doubt his clear segregationist tendencies by working closely with the noted white supremacist Andrew Young.

LOL_I needed that!

Pelosi on Fox News. A match made in heaven.

So, David Broder on MTP this morning that Jimmy Carter ran for governor of Georgia as a segregationist! That struck me as sorta weird, so I googled it.

It took me all of three seconds to confirm that Mr. Broder is a lying sack of SH*T.

Just sayin’…
:-)

Same here! What a claim, what a liar!

Maybe Broder was lyin’ when he said he hearted Huckabee as well, and really only wants to top-tap with him!

This is the woman married to the man with perhaps the least humanity of any purported human on earth AND the least respect or empathy for any humanitarian values.

I subject myself to Timmy every Sunday. It’s sorta like a mental athletic test of rigour. How much sh*t can the brain stand.

you are a stronger person than i am.

Oh selise! You’re way stronger than I am. The best I can manage is to take a nap and dream that I saw him, speechless, face melting…

actually quite refreshing, and highly recommended. ;->
