And then he pulled his Perry Mason routine on Obama regarding public financing of his campaign, again trying mightily to carry the right wing's water by straining to try to lock Obama into committing one way or the other. I'm sure Timmeh got a pat on the head from his GE bosses, but it was an absolutely deplorable performance, designed to elictit responses that literally no Democratic voter has even thought about, and responses seemingly hand delivered to Russert by Republican oppo researchers. It was so disgusting as to enter the realm of bizzarroworld. Glad I'm not the only one who noticed.
