Tim Russert Dies
Shocking news. Tim Russert, the journalist of NBC and MSNBC fame has died of an apparent heart attack.
This writer has not been kind to Mr. Russert. We did not appreciate his managing of political debates. But that does not diminish our shock at the sudden and unexpected death of Mr. Russert.
Mr. Russert was at his [...]

Pimpep by David Shuster and MSNBC
Son,
MSNBC has reached a new low in political reporting. David Shuster referred to Chelsea Clinton being “pimped out” by the Clinton campaign. He offered a Chris Matthews sort of apology on Morning Joe this morning. Like Chris Matthews – it was a non- apology.
MSNBC has consistently attacked the Clinton campaign. Matthews has been the [...]
Limbaugh looks and sounds like Tim Russert
Son,
I hearken back a few weeks to a Democratic Debate sponsored by MSNBC. The moderator was Tim Russert. As we reflect on substance we can see that Tim Russert has drug MSNBC and NBC down to the level of conservative talk radio. Russert has climbed to the top of the ‘good old boys’ network by [...]
John McCain on Iraq Strategy – Meet The Press
Son,
I am in no way an advocate of the war in Iraq. With that said our country is engaged in a War. A war whose outcome has serious consequence for America. John McCain is a man who understands war.
Mr. McCain is not a war monger. He is not a cruel man. Mr. McCain is a [...]
Matthews and Russert – Laurel and Hardy
Son,
Chris Matthews and Tim Russert remind me of the original comedy team of Laurel and Hardy.
Russert does not like to do heavy lifting – so he asks questions about driver’s licenses and race and gender. At a recent round table discussion Russert said something about women voters – a female panelist responded that women can [...]
MSNBC Dumbs Down Demographics
Son,
The constant harping on polls by demographics is wearing thin. Chris Matthews and Tim Russert have to be two of the worst. The suggestion is that people can only vote for people like themselves. Women vote for women. Blacks vote for blacks. Matthews votes for Russert. This denigration of masses of people based on demographics [...]
Meet the Press – Jan 20, 2008, on Obama
Son,
Meet the Press has finally come around to having real journalist participating – rather than have Tim Russert looking for sound bites. This is actually a good discussion on the candidacy of Obama.

Bill Clinton Supports Hillary
Son,
Are you surprised? Is anyone surprised? What are the other spouses doing? But this is Bill Clinton – former President of the United States. Traditionally former presidents have not taken a position until their party nominee is selected – but this is just another example of the historical ramifications of a former First Lady being [...]
Chris Matthews is under siege
Son,
Chris Matthews is in trouble. He has been making bigoted statements about women in general and Hillary Clinton in particular. His racism flowed out of every sweat pore after the New Hampshire primary. Today he is under siege by the public and the management at MSNBC. The good old boys club of male reporters at [...]
Morning Joe defends Chris Matthews
Son,
The MSNBC good old boys club has circled the wagons. Chris Matthews is under fire for his sexist and racist comments during the presidential primaries. Matthews offered a horrible apology on his Hardball show yesterday. Well, I guess he calls it an apology.
Matthews said that everything he said was correct and that if people took [...]
immigration, hate crime, gun control —
Son,
The conservatives have lost their bearing. And I must say that if not for the craziness I would be enjoying myself watching the circus. Here is the conservative philosophy – one which I cannot dispute: Less Government, fewer laws – generally better. The philosophy goes to a level of foolishness. Hate crime you say – [...]
The Nevada Debate, 1-15-08, Domestic Issues
Son,
The final section of the debate is on domestic issues – but the first question is on support of the military at college and universities and whether ROTC should be offered and military recruiters should be allowed on campus.
Clinton says “Yes, they should allow recruiters and not do anything to disrespect the military.”
Obama, “The poor [...]
Nevada Democratic Debate, 1-15-08, economy
Son,
The debate continues.
Williams, Many financial corporations are selling shares overseas, how does this strike you? ” Hillary, “I am very concerned, these are called sovereign wealth funds and they are controlled by governmental entities. We’ve got to know more about them… But let’s look at how we got here – our institutions made bets on [...]
Nevada Democratic Debate, 1-15-08, beyond race
Son,
The debate continues after addressing the issues of race. Brian Williams, Tim Russert, and Natalie Morallis are the moderators.
To Edwards – What is a white male to do running against these candidacies. Edwards – “This says really good things about America.”
Williams do you regret saying that Hillary is likable enough? Obama, “Yes, I regret that [...]
Nevada Democratic Debate, 1-15-08, On race
Son,
The debate is on. Brian William is giving the introduction of a Q & A format. Time Russert is there – unfortunately. But Brian Williams is a fair journalist and will moderate his colleague. It begins with race.
BW to Clinton: How did we get here? Clinton, “MLK’s dreams have been realized. Senator Obama has [...]
Tim Russert plays the gender card
Son,
Tim Russert was ‘interviewing’ Hillary Clinton on Meet the Press this morning. His line of questioning suggested his chauvinism rests just under the surface. Russert asked of Hillary, “What was the moment of greatest adversity for you?” Hillary’s answer, “We all know the answer to that.”
Yes we do – and so did Russert. The question [...]
