For those of you who are following the ‘greedy Rudy’ story, note that yesterday, just in passing, Tim Russert said that he’d spoken to several members of the Iraq Study Group (aka, Baker-Hamilton Commission). And they told him that nothing came up at the time from Rudy about his membership somehow conflicting with his presidential run. (Rudy has claimed, less than convincingly, that he bagged because he didn’t want presidential politics to get enmeshed in the commission’s work.) That never came up. It was all about showing up to meeting and Rudy’s inability to do so because he had so many $100k speeches scheduled.
If you want to see it, it comes up at about 4:20 in in today’s episode of TPMtv linked below.
