Obama on his war funding votes in the Senate: “Once we drove into the ditch, there were only so many ways to get out… She was ready to give in to George W. Bush on Day One on this issue.”

Tim Russert imitates an Iraqi government having a tantrum and insisting Americans leave immediately. When the stakes get high, this debate gets strange.

I’m a fan of Russert, but he’s “moderating” like he had a triple espresso tonight. And maybe a line of cocaine*.

(This is hyperbole, not speculation of a secret drug addiction.)

Hey, that’s his real answer!
