Re: Tim Russert - DEAD.
At least one liberal was no fan of Russert: everyone's favorite liberal author/comedian/Senate candidate/former talk radio host - Al Franken. In his book The Truth (with jokes), he described Russert as being gullible, credulous, wide-eyed, and unsuspecting. He certainly didn't seem to believe that Russert was the hard-hitting, informed, ask-the-tough-questions, put-'em-in-the-hot-seat-and-watch-'em squirm type of journalist that all his eulogists are making him out to be. The few times I actually did see him on Meet The Press left me with the feeling that he was pretty soft, and was more interested in making sure his guests walked away liking him rather that feeling like they'd been grilled. Mike Wallace he was not. Not saying he wasn't liberal (after all, he was a political journalist on a network not named Fox), but that he didn't have every other liberal singing his praises. At least while he was still breathing.Papa Willie wrote:Russert was pretty much a liberal fag

Re: Tim Russert - DEAD.
So are you saying that you disagree with his assessment of Russert, or just making a general observation that 95% of the posters here would agree with? Did you find Russert to be a top-drawer political journalist who was always skeptical of the bullshit he was being fed?mvscal wrote:But Al Franken is an idiot.

A point well taken. Russert also wasn't universally well liked in the blogosphere, as this example from Bart Cop illustrates.Smackie Chan wrote:At least one liberal was no fan of Russert: everyone's favorite liberal author/comedian/Senate candidate/former talk radio host - Al Franken.

Re: Tim Russert - DEAD.
Personally, I thought Russert did a decent job of hiding his blue party ways. I mean, dude was no Rather when it came to his affiliations. We all knew he was a dem, but at least he was grounded on his feelings on election nights. Just sayin'

Same thing Pat Paulsen did when repeatedly running for POTUS. Only Franken is serious about winning.mvscal wrote:Then what is he doing running for United States Senator?PSUFAN wrote:FTFY - sorry to have to break it to you that way.mvscal wrote:But Al Franken is a comedian.
I'm having trouble picturing you reading his books, or listening to his radio shows, or otherwise paying the least bit of attention to anything he has ever said. Dude's sense of humor is obviously not for everyone, and may be an acquired taste. Equally as obvious is that your political beliefs are only about 180 degrees from his. But it's also clear that you have a sense of humor, and can appreciate that sense in others. My guess is that if you were to read a few chapters of Rush Limbaugh... or Truth, and put aside your political differences while doing so, you'd find that Franken can bring teh funnay and run a little smack with the best of 'em. Don't bother with Why Not Me?, though; I'm trying to get through it now, and don't find it as good or as funny as the two I cited. You'll probably still consider him an idiot, but at least a funny one. Ain't many things sadder than an unfunny idiot. I've read these boards long enough to know dat.

He was great on SNL (if you forget the Stuart Smalley stuff), and like I said, his books are very funny. But I guess if I had to have the humor explained to me, I wouldn't find him funny, either.

at the tender age of 58. Hell---if he had lived a little more than 10 more years there is a certain

Re: Tim Russert - DEAD.
Apples and bowling balls. I think we'd all agree that 58 is way too young for someone to die, particularly for someone with no known health problems. The Presidency, OTOH, is an extremely stressful job, its occupants literally age before our very eyes. And it's a fair question as to whether a 70-something in general, and McCain in particular, is up to the challenge. As for McCain, in light of his background and his most noteworthy psychological trait (a hair-trigger temper), it's certainly a fair question as to whether he suffers from PTSD.Wolfman wrote:BTW---I find it at least interesting that many are bewailing how Tim Russert "died so young"

In fairness to McCain, his age isn't quite as noteworthy when it comes to seeking the Presidency as the media has made it out to be. McCain is younger than Dole was when he ran for President, younger than Reagan was when he ran for re-election, and not significantly older than Reagan was when Reagan was nominated for President the first time (I won't say he's not much older than Reagan was the first time Reagan ran for President, since Reagan had become something of a professional Presidential candidate by the time he actually received the Republican nomination the first time.)

Fact is-- unless John McCain was say--- 95 and in a nursing home, whining about his age is nothing
short of some people's prejudice against older people.
Also-- I got news for you-- the idea of the POTUS under such stress that they age so much is pure
BULLSHIT !! Let me clue you in--- you will not look like you do now in 8 years !!

Re: Tim Russert - DEAD.
You'll notice that I mentioned that other candidates have run in the past who were older than McCain is now. There are some significant health concerns for McCain. The rather severe case of melanoma he had, for one. Also, he hasn't released any psychological records; given his background that might be relevant.Wolfman wrote:Fact is-- unless John McCain was say--- 95 and in a nursing home, whining about his age is nothing

Presidents serve four year terms, not eight years, old man. The two most recent single term Presidents -- Carter and Poppy Bush -- also aged significantly during their terms.Also-- I got news for you-- the idea of the POTUS under such stress that they age so much is pure

I think Wolfman’s recent rants/meltdowns in here are ample evidence of why people are concerned about putting senile citizens in the White House. It’s not age discrimination, it’s self-preservation.

Re: Tim Russert - DEAD.
I completely disagree. His recent behavior is simply an indication that he's a slow learner, and his life "experience" is finally starting to bear fruit. He shoulda known a long time ago that this is a smack board (allegedly) and acted accordingly then. The fact that he is now starting to use this board in the fashion it is intended to be used shows that he is only now starting to get it. His brain seems to actually be kicking into high gear. I'm tellin' you, the ol' codger's got a mind like a trap door.Goober McTuber wrote:I think Wolfman’s recent rants/meltdowns in here are ample evidence of why people are concerned about putting senile citizens in the White House.
Re: Tim Russert - DEAD.
Wait-- who instituted the "nice" zero tolerance policy? The freedom on the board should not be curtailed merely by fiat. If it is limited at all there should be some sensible reasoning involved. Like that there is no freedom to post personal info. But a restriction on one's tenor in posting is a little far fetched. I'm inclined to be one of the nicest posters around, even on a smack board.
And I'll continue to be nice to folks because what counts in the jungle isn't showing at all times a fearsome aspect to attempt to overawe anyone. What counts is the substantive ability to make someone wish they never crossed paths with you in an aggressive manner.
There is a trace of Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice tradition in the jungle. Those with game can easily afford to take part in it.

Re: Tim Russert - DEAD.
Terry,
You claim that the ability to stand up under stress is a yob requirement. So, do you want ....
a. a guy who's resume reads lifelong local political hack, 2 year part time senator and real smoove talker (so long as there's a prompter in front of him....
or
2. a fighter jock who spent five years in a hole being tortured and then a couple of decades in the senate actually doing stuff, often to the chagrin of the rest of his party.
I'm no big McCain fan, but, if you are gonna say that Obama can hack it better than McCain, simply because he is a few decades younger, well, as mvscal would say, your a dumbfukk.
Love him or hate him, it's hard to deny that Mac needs a wheel barrel to cart his balls around in.
Actually, he'd prolly say nog lovin' dumbfukk, but, I got class and stuff.
