(7,570 posts)Don't kid yourself. He was a major player in the run-up to our many dubious wars. I have never seen fellatio so enthusiastically or lovingly performed as whenever Tim Russert interviewed Dick Cheney. To this day, nothing on PornHub even compares.

The trial of Scooter Libby, for lying about outing an undercover CIA agent, has always promised to deliver long held secrets of intrigue and deceit from the White House. And with the participation of so many figures from the media (i.e. Judith Miller, Matt Cooper, Bob Novak, Tim Russert, etc.), there has also been the tantalizing prospect of embarrassing divulgences from that arena as well. Now the first of those promises is being kept.
When former Cheney communications director, Cathie Martin, testified yesterday, she outlined the options that the vice-president should consider in response to allegations that the White House was manipulating intelligence to promote its case against Iraq. Her testimony included the following:
Option 1: MTP-VP, she wrote, then listed the pros and cons of a vice presidential appearance on the Sunday show. Under pro, she wrote: control message.
I suggested we put the vice president on Meet the Press, which was a tactic we often used, Martin testified. Its our best format.
here's another example:
Memo to Tim Russert: Dick Cheney thinks he controls you.
This delicious morsel about the "Meet the Press" host and the vice president was part of the extensive dish Cathie Martin served up yesterday when the former Cheney communications director took the stand in the perjury trial of former Cheney chief of staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.
Flashed on the courtroom computer screens were her notes from 2004 about how Cheney could respond to allegations that the Bush administration had played fast and loose with evidence of Iraq's nuclear ambitions. Option 1: "MTP-VP," she wrote, then listed the pros and cons of a vice presidential appearance on the Sunday show. Under "pro," she wrote: "control message."
"I suggested we put the vice president on 'Meet the Press,' which was a tactic we often used," Martin testified. "It's our best format."

it's common knowledge at DU what a sham journalist Russert was....nothing but a stenographer for Cheney, etal., as were most high profile so-called journalists, especially during the run-up to the invasion

(6,716 posts)That was his ONLY qualification.
He's a Republican mouthpiece. He was on Morning Joe the other day essentially saying we shouldn't even bother doing anything because the NRA has it under control. I think I actually had an out of body experience I was so pissed.
