Russert just interviewed Nancy Pelosi, and he was horrible. He tried to equate a few issues individual Democrats have caused for themselves, like Cynthia McKinney and Patrick Kennedy, to the Republican culture of corruption. "Democrats have ethics problems too." What an asshole! More on the flip.
How on earth can he compare a woman who punched/pushed a cop to Tom Delay? How can he compare a man who was involved in a minor traffic accident due to drugs/drinking, to Frist/Cunningham/etc. Personal indiscretions do not negatively affect the U.S. public. The Republican culture of corruption does negatively affect the American public.
He also kept trying to get her to say the Democrats would raise taxes. She refused to give him the soundbite he wanted...but NEWSFLASH...Taxes will have to be raised.
OMG! The sky is falling.
The key is that the Democrats will raise taxes on the wealthiest, and help the middle class and the poor. That is what happened under Clinton, and that is what will happen in the future.
What on earth happened to our media? I'd like to see the tone of the questions directed towards Pelosi, to be put forth towards the people who have dug our country into the hole we are now in.
And I repeat, Tim Russert is an asshole!
