Tim Russert will ask * the following questions:

[SoCalDem]

I am sure that most of us will call or e-mail him with suggestions, but I am pretty sure that he has already received "the questions"..

We all know what questions he SHOULD ask.. but we also know that he won't....

I am bookmarking this so we can all see how close we came to predicting:)

1.. Mr President, there's a lot of loose talk about your military service. I know how hurtful this must be to you, since you are waging a war on terror, and have won two wars in two years.Even though this was covered in 2000, people just won't let it go. Could you put to rest, once and for all, the issue of your service?


add your own questions that you "think" he will ask..

[ewagner]

1. He will ask some version of this:

Mr President, why are you so wonderful?

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

2. My predicted question:

Mr. President, outside of 47% of the delusional American people, why does the entire world unite in their hatred of you?

[heidiho]

3. mr. President, can you drop your pants so I can kiss your

big white Republican ass over and over again.

Thank you, sir, can I have more!!!

[colonel odis]

4. has anyone ever said you look like jfk? but smarter? n/t

[Doctor_J]

9. People have said

that you are a combination of Kennedy, Truman, and Reagan. What do you think of these comparison?

[LisaM]

15. You forgot Churchill, LOL. n/t

[meegbear]

5. Mr. President ...

What's your favorite color?
Adamm's Family or the Munsters?
Who's your favorite Monkee?

And a tough one:
Which is cuter? A basket full of puppies or a basket full of kittens?

[joanski01]

6. I don't think Tim will ask

this question, because bush* will have to answer, as he did in 2000, that he doesn't remember because that was a long time ago. That answer won't be acceptable this time.

I think Tim will ask him if he thinks he was misled by the Intelligence Agencies as to WMD's.

[polmaven]

13. The "I don't remember"

response is already being reworded to "To expect the White House to keep military records for 26 years is absurd"......Scotty came up with that one yesterday...my first response was ...Ummm...huh? (**scratching head**)

[joanski01]

16. Oh, My God!

Scotty really said that??? Unbelievable! Besides, the White House shouldn't have to keep the records. Those are George W. Bush's* personal records, aren't they? I've read posts from folks here on the board saying they have their grandparent's records.

[SoCalDem]

18. So, by McClellan's logic,

The Civil War records do not exist, nor do the WWI and WWII, or ANY records earlier than 1979..

These guys are something else..

[SoCalDem]

7. I plan to copy this thread and send it to Russert

He might get a kick out of it and also see that "some" people are on to him and his journo-pals.:)

Not all of us have our heads in the sand :)

[proud patriot]

8. "genuine leadership " will come out of Russert's mouth

also :

The prior Clinton admin. had the "same intelligence" :eyes:
why do some seem to be waffling in their support of you
using the "same intelligence" when they supported Clinton?

my prediction of dim son's response:

"partisan politics"

(note the words in quotes are my ultimate predictions)

[dennis4868]

10. Mr. President....

why are all those jobless people whinning so much? I mean you are a man of God, dont they know that?

[underpants]

11. Gosh you throw the baseball so well can we play catch?

Honestly I would like to get an update on the statis of the following:

The 9/11 investigation
The Plame investigation
The WMD investigations
The formulation of the energy policy
What were the real effects of the tax cuts and which is he willing to rescind, as he must?
What were you doing from May of '72 to May of '73?

[rasputin1952]

12. A couple of possibilites:...

MR. President,

1. Where is Saddam and what about the 'trial'?

2. Where are the WMD's?

3. Where is Osama?

4. How can you possibly believe you can balance the budget?

5. Why does every nation despise us?

Here are probables:

Mr. President,

1. What is your favorite color, pink or mauve?

2. Do you think tires should remain round?

3. Boxers or Briefs?

4. What are you going to do after you lose in '04?


It should be interesting. Without a tele-prompter bush is dead meat, look for an earpiece....he cannot answer anything without being prompted.

O8)

[joanski01]

19. I heard that bushie* will be

broadcasting from the White House Oval Office. Plenty of room for teleprompters there. All we will see is a TV screen of the Chimp.

[SoCalDem]

26. Karl will be standing out of camera range prompting him

Russert probably already has the *approved* questions, so junior's probably rehearsing now..

This will be a one hour FREE commercial.. that's all..

we will learn nothing and russert will weasel out like always

[central scrutinizer]

14. I am sure this will be one

Mr. President: Which is more responsible for all of the evil in the world that you are doing a wonderful job of fighting:

a. Saddam Hussein?

or

b. <>?

[terrya]

17. "Mr. President, the Massachusetts Supreme Court this week....

ruled that gay marriages are constitutional. What will you do to placate the core base of the Republican Party?

[tom_paine]

20. Imperial Scribe Timmy will have already had the questions vetted

and the Emperor will recite scripted answers, perhaps with the aide of an off-camera teleprompter or an earpiece connected to Uncle Karl, who will give the answers.

Does anyone really think that Imperial Scribe Timmy would say ANYTHING to expose the work of His Masters? That he would be outraged at this affront tohis "journalistic integrity".

A Media Whore and Imperial Pravda Scribe like Timmy HAS no ethics, but the almighty dollar and whatever his Bushevik pals tell him when they are sipping cocktails at posh parties together.

From Walter Cronkite to Timmy Russert (who would be just as at home reporting in Soviet Russia or Commie China) it is no wonder that the Imperial Amerikan Press is becoming a huge joke to the world and to an ever-growing numbers of Americans. How the mighty have fallen to become laughingstocks and Imperial Bootlickers like Tim Russert!

[justsam]

21. I hope Russet doesn't

say that Bush has won 2 wars.. in reality he has started 3 wars and finished none. (1) Afgan-no peace there (2) Iraq no peace there(3) the one that civilians and military will be fighting for the rest of time, the war on terroist will never be over..

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

22. "Why can't those Democrats just accept that God has appointed you?"

I'll never forget the last time I watched his show, which was around Christmas of 2001. He asked Laura, Guliani and a Catholic Bishop if God had meant Bush to be president on Sept. 11. Guliani and the Bishop said, yes, it was God's will! Tim looked like he agreed wholeheartedly. Only Laura had the sense to say no, which spoke well for her, I think.

I never watch that show because who wants to watch propaganda on a nice Sunday morning? If the mainstream press lets the Bush admimistration get away with having no accountability, they should be boycotted by all decent people that believe in democracy.

[11 Bravo]

23. Mr. President, several months ago all America ...

was thrilled by your courageous carrier landing on the storm-tossed seas off the coast of California. Tell me, sir, were you as proud to once again don the uniform of an United States fighting man as all true Americans were to see you do so? (Damn, I just puked all over my own keyboard.)

[earthside]

24. What Should - What Probably Will

What Russert SHOULD ask:

FDR, during a depression and fighting a war, asked for sacrifice from all Americans by raising taxes. You say we're fight a war on terra', but our deficits threaten to spiral out of control. Will you ever be willing to ask for the same kind of sacrifice that Pres. Roosevelt asked for and propose raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans so that our fiscal house can get back in order?

In April 1972, you didn't take your required Texas Air National Guard physical examination, usually give by a Guard doctor. Why didn't you take that physical and why didn't you ever again in your time with the Guard get that physical taken, thereby grounding you from flying for the rest of your tour of duty? At the same time you were supposed to get that physical, a Mr. James R. Bath was also supposed to take his, but didn't show up either. Do you know James R. Bath? What has been your relationship with him?

Were you ever shown any photographic intelligence of actual, identifiable weapons of mass destruction of any kind, before you ordered the attack on Iraq?

What Tim probably WILL ask:

I've been working in this town for decades now, you were here now and then when your dad was president and you live here part of the time, when you're not on the ranch. What do you think of the weather in Washington?

I have met more US Senators in my job as moderator of Meet the Press than almost anyone alive. I've had John McCain on this show almost every other Sunday. Who is your favorite Senator?

What will you give Laura for Valentine's Day? Will you shop for that gift here in Washington?

[SoCalDem]

25. Sadly, I fear those will be the type of questions asked..

and whaddayahwannabet that when * weasels and lies,R will just let it slide??

It's all about access.. R will hedge his bets.. When the votes are all "diebolded" and * has "won" another glorious election, R will want access to the admin for the next 4 years..</groan>
