Meet the Press Recap

REDEMPTION

Whoa...this weeks Meet the Press was amazing. It had gotten very stale over the past few weeks, with Tim Russert just basically having on Democrats and letting them spew out their talking points. But this week Russert was gone, and Andrea Mitchell was the guest host, and she did a marvelous job. The first segment pitted Senators Mitch McConnell and Chuckie Schumer against one another. Mrs. Mitchell grilled Schumer for almost the entire half hour, it was great. McConnell basically just sat there and let her have him, as everything that Chuckie was saying became red meat for the inquisitive Mitchell. The Quote of the day had to have been when Schumer, discussing Hillary Clinton's presidential asperations said that right now she is focused on simply running for the Senate of the United States of New York. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

The second segment was about the New York Times and their irresponisible reporting. Bill Bennett was the only conservative, with three other panelists. But Bill held his ground against the other three whiners who want to protect the press from any accountability. The people in the media basically think that they are above the law, and Bennett proved that brilliantly by just letting them talk. The best part about the whole thing is that everytime they get a chance to defend themselves, they just galvonize conservatives who will defeat them and their ideology in November. I almost felt bad for Bennett, but then I thought to myself that it would be great to go against a panel of people who think the way that liberal journalists do, because it makes people like us and Bennett look that much smarter, and even more American. Bennett did a great job.

I really suggest if you didnt get to see the show this morning, you go here and watch it, or read the transcript if you have a few hours. Again, Andrea Mitchell did a great job and Id love to see more of her on MTP in the future. It was great entertainment.
