Russert cuts off Hillary midsentence and asks a lot of deliberately loaded questions. yeah, it's bad.
Hillary is like the Jim Rice/Barry Bonds of media interraction. After years of being hostile, they aren't going to be nice to you. Is it fair? Not at all? Is she reaping what they've sown? Absolutely.

When faced with a relentless filibusterer like Shrillary, what's he supposed to do? Let her go on for another 30 minutes?
Jose, when faced with the opportunity to be a sexist asshole, maybe you could decline?
Russert is such a moron. If we pull out of Iraq, and If Osama bin Laden resurfaces, and If this and If that, will you invade Iraq?
That question is not based in any goddamn reality, just in the fevered imagination of Tim f-ing Russert.
That was pretty pathetic.

nah...but I won't decline to invite you to kiss my ass ;)
josh, i love that analogy.

Thanks. I should have left Bonds out, because of other issues, but he's more timely than Rice, who really for the most part isn't in the Hall of Fame because he was a jerk to the writers, in spite of the fact that he was incredibly effective. She is the political Jim Rice. She can be an MVP, but she's pissed off all the people who would tell us about it.
They just playd the WRONG CLIP and basically said "sen. obama do you want to respond?"
this IS an SNL parody.

And then he addressed it anyway.
HRC's team can be upset with the questions, but we've also hit the usual issues: healthcare, Iraq, and an Ohio special -- NAFTA.
In terms of "Shame on You", "Obama=Bush," etc -- that's on her. She's the one that put that stuff out there, and she should be accountable for it.
Ummmm....Hello?
Obama got asked about Farrakhan, Wright, has his turban picture falshed, was asked if he is "going back on his word" on public financing...
That is what the clintons consider a feather pillow?
The clinton people are just displacing their frustration that Obama is unflappable by blaming the press.
Voters almost always vote for the more optimistic and positive candidate. Hillary and her campaign are failing that test big-time. How is complaining about the media constructive at this point?

The Clinton campaign is obsessed with the media. I agree, the questions have been tougher.
But honestly, their weak ground game, their weak strategic planning, and their weak message is why they are losing, not the media's tough questioning.
