Win, in response to your post regarding the Meet the Press interview. Everyone knows that interview took place the day before it was aired instead of being live like most of Russert's shows. I read somewhere that it was actually a 2 hour interview which was condensed to 1 hour. I suspect that this was at the insistence of the Whitehouse and that they had a say in what parts of the interview were cut out. Russert does not usually let people off the hook as easily as he repeatedly did to Bush. The good parts may be on the cutting room floor.

Mistah Kurtz? He Dead: Media Whores Online has been blowing the covers off Howard Kurtz devious and stench-ridden self-aggrandisement. mediawhoresonline.com Here's the latest on Kurtz's wife, a Right Wing lobbyist and self-promoter who Kurtz aids with his less than honest and candid columns in the WashingPost. Mrs. Howard Kurtz: McCain Not a Real Republican Mrs. Howard Kurtz and Chris Matthews discuss msnbc.msn.com the latest Bush cover-up (appointing members of the commission charged with examining the misuse of intelligence, i.e. "intelligence failures"): CHRIS MATTHEWS: It‘s not credible he picks the commission, is it? SHERI ANNIS, REPUBLICAN MEDIA STRATEGIST: Well, it‘s credible because he basically wants to say. "I‘m going to be able to talk about this no matter what. I'm going to—I'm taking charge here." He doesn't want to say, "I‘m leaving this to someone else." He wants to show he‘s leading this. MATTHEWS: Leading what? The cover up? ANNIS: He will describe it obviously as not a cover up. If McCain gives him a lot of cover. That‘s his—I think McCain is actually most of his cover. Even though he‘s Republican. MATTHEWS: But isn‘t the usual way to pick a bipartisan commission is to let the other party pick their share of the commission? That‘s how it becomes bipartisan. ANNIS: That‘s how—But with McCain there, it‘s seemingly bipartisan. MATTHEWS: But he's a Republican. ANNIS: But he's not a real Republican. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This Year's Dick Morris Annis predicts the outcome of the Russert interview: MATTHEWS: Let me make your bets here. Sheri, you're an expert at public relations and political questions. Will the headlines Monday morning be favorable to the president or not favorable? ANNIS: It will be favorable, because they will say Bush knew how to fight back. He's no longer above the fray in the very presidential way, because he‘s entering the campaign, but will show that he‘s not going to sit there like a lapdog and take what‘s thrown at him. ***** ROTFL! She's much dumber in person than on TV... What a howler.
