Well, Maryanne in Michigan, I saw the Attempted Tim Russert ambush also and was impressed with Dean's ability to fight in the trenches against the NBC neocons who had laid the boobie traps well.

I loved the part where Russert askes Dean just how many folks are in uniform and Dean says "I'm not sure of the exact number..."

Only to have Right-Winged-Russert interupt him with, ""Well, if you think you can be President you have to know that (blah, blah, huff-n-friggin-puff blah) and Dean shot back..

No, Tim, you are wrong! I am a candiate for the Presidency and when I'm President, I'll have good people around me to advise me on just how **many** tropps are in uniform. I also don't know that names of every ambassador, but when I'm Prresident...

I thought that exchange was off the charts. Russert looked like a kid who just wanted to stick his tongue out at Dean. Russert was visably pissed off. Tough! Who cares about Tim "John-Friggin-Birch" Russert. He's shown what he abnd his NBC crowd is all about. I think the Democratic Parta should boycott NBC abd all of its sponsors. That and Fox are nuthing but right winged muck rakers....

But good on Dean. He did good.

As fir me, I'm a Green fir Dean right now...
