Baby Russert and Totally False Equivalence

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/03/07/luke-russert-gohmerts-golf-ban-on-obama-reveals-a-pettiness-on-both-sides

Doesn’t this reveal the petty and personal nature of Republican opposition to this president?” MSNBC host Martin Bashir asked Russert on Wednesday.“How is it petty by the president to apply the sequester since it’s something that he didn’t want but it’s been imposed?” Bashir pressed.

“Because the idea, Martin, is by putting that forward that there would be no more tours of the White House, who does that stick it to? That really sticks it to rank-and-file congressmen, who ordinarily would promise those types of tours to their constituents,” Russert insisted.

“It sticks it to the public!” Bashir shot back. “And it’s the public who are being injured by the sequester.”


Russert needs to be sequestered doing the weather in some far away land.

MSNBC needs to reassign him to broadcasting which bars are having hurricane parties while he stands in a sailboat docked in a marina.

BTW, MSNBC did actually have him doing this during the hurricane that hit the DC area in late 2011.

And if it wasn't for his Republican asskissing Daddy, Little Luke would be struggling to master the meat slicer at Arby's.
