Why no HageeGate? Tim Russert explains

Funny, but "I'm not doing my job" was not anywhere in his answer.

IMUS: "Big stretch for Frank Rich to suggest that Rev. Hagee, that somehow McCain has the same relationship with him as Obama had with Rev. Wright but he did run it up the flag pole yesterday, didn’t he."

TMMEH: "He sure did. There’s been a lot of chatter on that, you know, about Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson’s comments after September 11th. If there was video of Hagee, it makes all the difference in the world…."

Oh really. Liz Cox Barrett at CJR adds

"If only there were video of Hagee." Then the Russerts of the world, Russert seems to imply, might have paid a bit more attention to him. Readily-available visual clips, you see, would have made “all the difference in the world.”

Clips like… this one?
