The following is the message I sent to Tim.Russert@nbcuni.com. Feel free to send your own observations via: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6872152/

Tim Russert:

I thought you were better than George Staphylaphallus. (not an accidental misspelling)

The first 25% of your program wasted on Rev. Wright? Why Russert? Why? Too bad you apparently failed to read the New York Times criticism of media coverage of this year's campaign. It might have prevented you from delivering more proof the criticism is valid.

With so many really important issues needing focus this election year, how the [expletive] can you justify another worthless rehash with the same questions and the same answers... and NO advancement of this tired issue? All it accomplished was burying what should have been your lead: The issues of "Obliterating Iran" or the gas tax or Hillary's lies about exported Hoosier jobs (ignored completely.) Why are you obfuscators so reluctant to offer a parallel query of Hillary, questioning HER judgment for staying with an abusive husband for for at least 33 years of his philandering?

Now I'm down to three people I can tolerate watching on NBC/MSNBC: Olbermann and Chuck Todd... and a third made up of fractional parts of several others like Brian and Mika. I have disliked you personally since nuking the career of a good friend of mine (from Sacramento) at the DC bureau many years ago. Now, I also despise you professionally... becoming just another example of what has gone wrong with my once proud craft.

I have tried to find something positive to say to close this message, but the only thing that comes close is this: At least you do not seem to be an agent of the Clinton campaign like Chris Matthews and Joe Scarborough... The former who actually favors her and the latter who believes she will be less of a challenge to McCain than Barack. Maybe I should file complaints against them with the FEC for not reporting campaign contributions as I have already done for Limbaugh's shenanigans.

Stay well and seek the wisdom you lack Buffalo-man!
