D.C. Dirt as reported on Tucker's program on (MSNBC)

[partylessinOhio]

Tim Russert on crutches, he broke his ankle.

Did I hear that right?


Yes, here it is:

He is expected to be the star witness for the prosecution in the trial of Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, who is charged with lying about the disclosure of the identity of a CIA officer.

During an interview with the Times-Union before his talk, Russert said it is the first time he has been subpoenaed.

"It is nothing I relish," he said, adding that he learned long ago from the nuns at his Buffalo, N.Y., parochial school that it is much easier to just tell the truth.

Russert had with him his sister, Trish Scozzaro, and his niece, Paige Scozzaro, who live in St. Augustine.

He used crutches, recovering from a broken ankle.

1. Ouch! I did that once. I hope that Potato Head will be OK. Nasty injury. n/t

2. Wonder how he did that...

Isn't he slated to testify in the Libby case?

[partylessinOhio]

3. Yes he is. See my edit above.

4. He broke it in hot pursuit of a story about his favorite topic.

5. I'm confused. Dirt on "Tucker" or on "Russert"?

:shrug:

6. I'm disappointed. I wanted dirt on Tucker.

So, what are we to think? The mob breaks people's knees and the BFEE breaks people's ankles?

12. Dirt on Tucker?

Uh, Wonkette.com? They've got him gutted and hanging on their internet living room wall.

7. Don't want to confuse, I edited the title.

8. What's weird is...

Scooter broke his leg last year about the time that the charges were brought. These guys are rather accident prone aren't they?

9. Don't forget Novak. n/t

10. Did he break his leg, too?

:tinfoilhat:

11. From what I heard on Imus, Tim and his dog were both trying to get

through a door at the same time, Tim tripped over the dog and fell.... Ouch

[Virginia Dare]

13. Double...

:tinfoilhat: :tinfoilhat:

15. He had a broken leg or hip shortly after the investigation started.

Whether he broke it or he had help...I always wondered.
