BREAKING VIDEO: Russert Says It's Over - Clinton Cancels Appearances

Obama essentially told Americans the media pundits are enablers, an obstacle to moving the country forward, but Americans don't have to let the media distract them; they have a choice. So it was ironic listening to Tim Russert and the MSNBC gang virtually proclaim Obama the Democratic nominee. It was a moment of deserved humility, but only a moment.

While Obama does appear to have it, I'll wait 'til I hear it from a more credible source.

4. About time...
Messy thing, this American-style democracy. One advantage of the Westminster system is that when the leader is tottering, there's never a shortage of people ready to stab them in the back.

8. who cares...

...what russert says?

He's made it abundantly clear that his integrity as an impartial "journalist" is compromised.

I'll wait until someone with more credibility says something before I start crying or crackin beers.

10. Creepy Russert Dream
Edited on Wed May-07-08 11:55 AM by The Political Jerk
I stayed up too late last night, watching MSNBC and waiting for Indiana. When I finally went to bed, I dreamed that an owl with Russert's face was attacking me. I am serious.
