2. Russert's getting a pass. He gets to escape his complicity in the Bushies lies. n/t

4. Jon said we need to talk about this administration not

the presidential candidates so much. Russett said they won't come on the air with him.

Russett said he hasn't interviewed the chimp since 2004.

5. As much as I like Jon, Russert has a long history of looking the other way so much

so he has his own section on mediamatters.org http://mediamatters.org/issues_topics/people/timrussert?f=h_hot
most recently the following

"Russert challenged Democrats -- but not McCain -- about 2002 Iraq intel "caveats"

On the May 13 "Meet the Candidates" edition of NBC's Meet the Press, host Tim Russert asked Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain (AZ), "In hindsight, was it a good idea to go into Iraq?" but did not challenge McCain's reply that the invasion of Iraq "was certainly justified" because "very intelligence agency in the world, not just U.S., believed that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction." Yet on two separate "Meet the Candidates" editions of Meet the Press, Russert did challenge former Sen. John Edwards (D-NC) and Sen. Joseph Biden (D-DE) for their 2002 votes giving President Bush the authority to use military force in Iraq, citing the "caveats" in the October 2002 National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) concerning the purported existence of an Iraqi nuclear weapons program. The NIE was made available to all.."

3. I give Russert 5 years, maximum, until he has a massive heart attack.

If he's not a cardiac risk case, I'm a Paris Hilton double.
