Tim Russert is Karl Rove's lapdog


Aaron Broussard put him in his place but good

On Meet the Press on 9/25, Tim Russert brought Jefferson Parrish President Aaron Broussard on once again.

Broussard had been on Meet The Press right after Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana to discuss the response. On that program he had told a tearful story about how one of the people he worked with had lost his mother in a nursing home because he could not get to her. He blasted the federal authorities for having press conferences but not doing anything.

I guess Rove decided to take this guy down because the right wing bloggers have been attacking him for not blaming local authorities enough. They also decided to dissect Broussard's story to try to find fault with the facts.

So, Russert brings Broussard back, not to find out how recovery is going, but to have him answer the bloggers. Russert is a piece of trash for this. He's made himself into a administration footsoldier in the name of good TV. Leave that crap to Rush and get someone more interested in actual news running that show.

The best part was when Broussard destroyed the bloggers and Russert with his impassioned and excellent response.

Russert get over to Fox News where you belong if you just want to echo the administration's talking points.

Aaron Broussard, get yourself to congress, you have a brain and a heart.
