Not big shock here: David Gregory will take the reins as moderator of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” the Huffington Post has learned. Gregory has been a leading contender for the permanent spot since Tom Brokaw stepped in as interim moderator following Tim Russert’s death in June. In recent weeks, a short list including Gregory, Andrea […]
Just now breaking – Tim Russert has suffered a fatal heart attack. Keep his family and colleagues in your thoughts and prayers.
If you decide to use the host’s family in an analogy, make sure you are aware rather the person is alive or dead. Terry McAuliffe said this on Meet the Press today: “But it’s not impossible for Hillary Clinton to win,” said McAuliffe. “A lot of people have said that. Big Russ, if he were […]
They are presenting him as some regular pundit. Pretty bad when CNN suspended him as a pundit because of his ties to the Clinton campaign. Does Tim Russert not have any common sense – or is NBC trying to push the elections a little more?
This is a stunning fact Salon has posted: […]The League of Conservation Voters analyzed transcripts of TV interviews and debates with the Democratic and Republican candidates. The interviews were conducted by CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, MSNBC’s Tim Russert, Fox News’ Chris Wallace and CBS’s Bob Schieffer. As of Jan. 25, these five prime-time […]

In other words, we will not recognize the sovereignty of the Iraqi government. I don’t remember anything in the war authorization saying we would be an occupying force. Sounds like […]
Rachel Maddow wrote an open letter to Orin Hatch this week about the lies he told on last week’s Meet the Press. Hatch has issued a letter to Tim Russert regarding his “accurate statements” that he “misspoke” on (yeah – have fun figuring that one out. Everyone else has!). I wonder if Russert will just […]
Is it any wonder why each of these people face criticisms from their own parties? Two summers ago, on a Congressional trip to Estonia, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton astonished her traveling companions by suggesting that the group do what one does in the Baltics: hold a vodka-drinking contest. Delighted, the leader of the delegation, Senator […]
This morning on Meet the Press, Tim Russert interviewed Shell Oil’s President John Hofmeister; ConocoPhillips Chrmn. & CEO James Mulva; & Chevron’s Chrmn. & CEO David O’Reilly. Throughout the interview I could not help but feel these three stooges had the impression America is full of a bunch of dumb shits. The first is when […]
