Cheney's Punk

Does Tim Russert have a sore hindquarters? Only his proctologist knows for sure. Must be embarassing to realize you were someone elses' pincushion:

....in the Scooter Libby trial, Vice President Cheney’s former communications director displayed notes from 2004 “about how Cheney could respond to allegations that the Bush administration had played fast and loose with evidence of Iraq’s nuclear ambitions.” Option 1 was “MTP-VP,” a Cheney appearance on Russert’s Sunday show, which would allow Cheney to “control message.” “I suggested we put the vice president on ‘Meet the Press,’ which was a tactic we often used.”

Never mind the humiliation for Russert, the saddest aspect of this is that much of the media is regularly manipulated – and they don't know it, while the rest is complicit in deceiving the public.
