MSNBC, the lefty version of Fox News, got a snarky email from Hillary's press secretary in response to Tim Russert's arrogant assertion that MSNBC's sacred mission of defeating Hillary was finally accomplished on the night of the Indiana primary.
Howard Kurtz reports:
It's no secret that Hillary Clinton's top aides have long been angry at MSNBC for coverage they consider blatantly pro-Obama. But the final straw seems to have come Tuesday night, when Tim Russert, NBC's Washington bureau chief, declared on MSNBC: "We now know who the Democratic nominee is going to be, and no one is going to dispute it." Other MSNBC pundits agreed, and Russert repeated the verdict yesterday, saying that barring a collapse by Barack Obama or an act of God, "this race is over."
In an e-mail yesterday, Jay Carson, Clinton's press secretary, told NBC's political director Chuck Todd: "Can you think of one good reason we should continue to cart you guys around the country with us, given that your network has declared the entire race over?"
Before the Obama News Network's Top Daddy Pundit declared Obama to be The Nominee -- based on Hillary's narrow Indiana win -- Daddy Russert declared:
"If she wins Indiana it goes all the way through June."
I suppose we women should be grateful. I mean it's a damn miracle that the Daddy Pundits even let a woman into the race. Do be grateful because you aren't likely to see it again in your lifetime.
