TV Newser has a post this morning featuring a funny little gaffe involving NBC's Tim Russert. He misspells "Iraq" as "I-R-A-K" on last night's "Nightly News."
To be fair, "Irak" is the correct spelling in Spanish. Maybe Russert could pull double duty on NBC Universal's Telemundo.

April 26, 2007 - 11:17 ET by charlietexasTimmy can do no wrong.......But if you add up the poll he quotes, he makes a big deal about 49% of ppl polled think the war is going in the wrong direction. Butttt, if you add "better" and "same" 37 + 12 = 49.........OH MY GOD it's he same amount. Did he get that at all???
Timmy is just hoping the republicans are just as stupid as the democrats.......
Spelling Bee
April 26, 2007 - 11:36 ET by connmanIt's Tim just reminding everyone of his bold 2000 predication F-l-o-r-i-d-a. He must of had an aid spell that one out for him ahead of time. I saw the same thing with the poll numbers, ridiculous how these guys twist & spin the results! It's been said before, if the Dems think this War is lost either ; impeach the President (they can't) or defund the War, (they won't). Otherwise agree to get behind the surge so we can get r done!

April 26, 2007 - 11:52 ET by Conservative in the ArtsI am so pissed off he give poll numbers because I know he's lying thru his teeth.
He always starts off giving the "right track - wrong track" question, then says that people say we are on the wrong track because of Iraq. Where is the connection between wrong track and Iraq? The questions were asked as two different questions. He's jumping to conclusions, unless people during the poll get to say WHY THE COUNTRY IS ON THE WRONG TRACK!
Because I'd answer the question as we're on the wrong track too, because people like Tim gets to rant off on TV with no regard to the truth.

Progress in Iraq
April 26, 2007 - 13:54 ET by deerjerkydaveA few weeks back I finally got sick of not knowing whether progress was occuring in Iraq or not. It's a major failure from the MSM (and GWB). For most Americans the impression is that things are the same or no progress is happening in Iraq. I finally found the following animation on the Department of Defense's website that GWB should be showing every day to the public. Clearly progress is being made in Iraq. We just need the resolve to hang in there until the work is finished. I know that we can't set time tables, but GWB should be setting clearly defined benchmarks so we as Americans can know if progress is being made to those ends. Perhaps the people at newsbusters can make a story out of the link below from the DoD.
