I think it was on David Letterman's first show after the 9/11 attacks.

Rudy Guiliani was his guest. And when Dave asked about his working relationship with Washington during the crisis, the mayor replied...

Thank God we elected the right man. The alternative would have been a disaster. We have the right man.

Ah, certainty!

Russert & Novak: two peas in a pod.

Ignorant of facts; sticking to the spin; gotcha-journalists of the most infantile kind.

Unlike Russert, I'll miss Novak and his unique presence.

You mention Andrea Mitchell, but by far it's been Chris Matthews who has been the most rabid and most upset about the fact that the former President isn't doing what the MSM want him to do.

Why do you leave this creep, a man you've identified as your "friend", out of your complaints against the MSM? Not just this time, but every time.

And you continue to appear on his puke-fest.

This reflects very poorly on you and what used to be a great site, Salon.

Number of people killed in the Monica Lewinsky affair: NONE.

Number of peple killed in the "policy differences" of the last seven years: Around 4,000 and counting!

That blood is on your hands, too Mr. Broder.

Make that the Democratic Party's already defeated Presumptive candidate.

Which box do I mark for McCain, again?

Please quit your bellyaching about Canada's restrictive border laws. People are complaining about being kept out of Canada because past convictions in the United States.

Well guess what, Einsteins, the United States has long stopped Canadians at the border for the exact same thing.

Canadians caught for possessing a joint can't be allowed into the united states. And anyone else convicted of an offence faces the same draconian cold shoulder that you're complaining about.

Canadians have to put up with a lot of american ignorance and stupidity about our country. But on this score, we're EVEN.

We don't want your drunks, thieves and drug abusers. And you don't want ours.

Grow the fuck up. The world (Canada) doesn't exist to make your life easier.

It seems that WAR ROOM has become the spot where Salon places its stenography.

It used to be a place for original reporting throughout the day.

But we now have the spectacle of a Salon writer doing "quick reads" of material first published elsewhere.

Honestly, if any of us wanted to read Adam N., we would have done so at the NYT site. Same goes for all of the other reporters you crib for us.

What you're doing is not journalism... it's stenography.

Shame.

Yes, let's ask Jake this question...

Jake, about HRC, would you say that we should "put a fork in her, she's done"?

Jake: Ah, no. The last time I used that line, "put a fork in him, he's done..." was during the 2000 recount. It was a big article here on Salon about why George w. Bush wouldn't reach the 270 electoral votes. The piece was actually triumphant in its analysis. Brilliant, prescient and convincing, I thought.

Only trouble is, I was wrong. Way wrong.

When the BO Moonies apologize for labelling everyone who remembers the legacy of LBJ as racist, then GF should apologize.

Remember LBJ? The president who passed the civil rights legislation? The same one who got swept away in the revisionist history about MLK getting it passed all byhimself?

The sanctamony of the BO Moonies makes it pretty safe there will be no apoligy; therefore, GF will never need to apologize...:)

... are employees of NBC news. Once, a proud and respected journalistic brand. Now being ruined by "journalists" who chatter rather than gather. what happened to the craft of finding out what's going on? Breaking real news.. full of secrets and accountability. Is Tucker still wearing that silly bowtie? That was another peak at his truth: Spoonfed and happy.

In comparing Tim to the British host, they have an equal amount of pugnacity. The difference is where they're coming from: Tim distorts and bullies about income tax returns and whitewater; the brit is focused on public accountability.

Which was more dramatic and satisfying? For me, it was the shave he administered to Mr. Bolten. And a lot of other viewers would agree and were galvanized by this spectacle. Unable to turn away from a captured man, tormented in public by the truth.

So Tim & Tucker and the people who hire and pay these distortionists don't necessarily need to go safe and banal for viewers, readers and profits. They choose to go there. Their laziness is destroying our society.

How can the Big-BO possibly be proud of his middle name in public?

That would screw up his carefully calibrated PR campaign against the American people.

He knows that too much scrutiny will lead to buyers remorse amongst the Democrats.

And buyers remorse will be real. Just ask Jimmy Carter about 1980. Many remorseful buyers stayed home and allowed Ronald Reagan to become president in order to avoid another term of Carteritis.

Given how fast the world works today, I have no doubt that buyers remorse will break out bigtime just in time to make McCain president and hand over the next generation of the supreme court to the radical right.

Way to go fellow-democrats. You've blown it again!
