TPM Reader TB saw the Russert interview with Ken Mehlman too ...

I saw Tim Russert interview Ken Mehlman. Russert has zero credibility in my mind because he, time and time again, will let the Republicans get away with one outrageous lie and ridiculous statement after another and often turn tougher with Democrats. Why is no one calling Russert out for what he is: minimally, a complete pushover (I’ve fought the urge to use a more accurate, less flattering term here), but more likely, a well-disguised shill for the Republican party?

Shillitude is in the eye of the beholder. But Mehlman said what I think was pretty clearly a demonstrably false, ludicrous statement. Why not call him on it?
