Russert: "I say a prayer every night for President Musharref of Pakistan"

[Bluebear]

(On Larry King.) Well, now we know who our on-air "reporter's" prayer habits.

Good news! He is doing a sequel to "Big Russ and Me", which is now coming out in paperback, because he haven't heard quite enough about his father yet. :crazy:

1. Tim must have quite a wad of oil company stock!

Or stock in the big pipelines in that area!

[Clark2008]

2. I say a prayer every night that people like Tim-mah are ousted

from the press corpse (spelling intentional).

[LynnTheDem]

3. Good idea, Russert. Coz the only thing standing between Pakistan's nukes

and the USA is Musharref.

What the rightwingnuts apparently don't know is that "our good ally" Pakistan hates us, likes OBL, and mostly because we're supporting the man who took over Pakistan's government by a coup. That would be Musharref.

And some day the US will declare Musharref "worse than Hitler" etc etc etc.

Ho Chi Ming
Stalin
Hitler
Osama bin Laden
Taleban
Ba'ath Party
Saddam Hussein
Charles Taylor

US supports brutal dictators, then turns on them.. It's the American Way and it's why "they" hate us.

6. Please let it be in stores in time for Father's Day.

It's just what I want. Unless Chris Mathews or Brian Williams write books about their dads.

7. Russert: a right wing chihuahua

"Arf arf!"

9. what? he's a HARD hittin mofo, that fatfuckface, he

Is anyone else disgusted by this (emphasis supplied)?

: On September 1, 2001, you began a 90-day phaseout retiring from the CIA. Then came the horrific day of 8:46 AM, September 11, 2001. All our lives changed. You were asked to stay on at the CIA. On September 13th, you were summoned to the office of Cofer Black, the head of counterterrorism for the CIA. What did he tell you? What was your mission?

: The mission was to--the first part of it was to go in and link up with the Northern Alliance, formerly headed by Ahmed Al-Massoud, and to win their confidence and their agreement to cooperate militarily with us. They were the only armed force on the ground in Afghanistan opposing the Taliban. The second part of it was, once the Taliban were broken, to attack the al-Qaeda organization, find bin Laden and his senior lieutenants and kill them.

MR. RUSSERT: Kill them?

MR. SCHROEN: Kill them.

MR. RUSSERT: Wasn't it illegal for us to kill foreign leaders?

MR. SCHROEN: I don't think at that point that the--I think the administration had gotten to the point where bin Laden and his guys were fair game.

MR. RUSSERT: As part of war?

MR. SCHROEN: As part of war.

MR. RUSSERT: Mr. Black gave you specific instructions on what he wanted you to bring home.

MR. SCHROEN: That's true. He did ask that once we got bin Laden and killed him, that we send his head back in a cardboard box on dry ice so that he could take it down and show the president.

MR. RUSSERT: Where would you find the dry ice in Afghanistan?

MR. SCHROEN: That's what I mentioned to him. I said, "Cofer, I think that I can come up with pikes to put the heads of the lieutenants on," which is the second part of what he wanted done. "Dry ice, we'll have to improvise."

14. You know, I'd like to lean on September 11, too...

Mr. Russert: Voltaire99, on September 1, 2001, you began a one-man crusade to cut your consumption of single-malt whiskey to within reasonable human levels, as specified by the United Nations Charter on Single Malt Abuse. Then came the horrific morning of Sepember 11, 2001, and by 9:00 a.m., you were summoned by yourself to a face-to-face meeting. What did you tell yourself? What did you say in response?

Mr. Voltaire99: Tim, I said, "Fuck it, all bets are off." And I replied, "Pour me another, and don't stop. Everything's changed."

Mr. Russert: Straight up, or on the rocks?

Mr. Voltaire99: Christ, Tim. If you have to ask...

12. Why doesn't he throw in Musharraf's good friend

General Mahmud Ahmad in the prayer, who wired $100,000 to Mohammed Atta before 9/11.

13. "My father is amazing so I must be as well."

That's what I think of his endless musings about the greatness of his dad. After all, a great dad must have a great son. It's all about Timmy.
