So W wanted his shills Russert and Larry King to handle the debates.

As per Brian Lamb on Cspan.

HAHAHAHA....boy, nothing like outing who your main mediawhores are loudly and clearly.

If Russert was ANY kind of a decent journalist he would be mortified that a dolt, crook, and lying traitor like Bush feels SAFE with him.

Anyone hear anything more on this?

2. How about Tweety?
At least he'd make an attempt to actually moderate.

10. Has the shrub campaign made any public statements on the debate?
I know Kerry accepted as soon as the schedule was announced. I don't know of any statements from the shrubbies concerning the debates.
