Pile-on the Front Runner

In the Democratic debate of October 30, 2007, MSNBC moderators Brian Williams and Tim Russert facilitated what could charitably be called an attempted "gang bang" of Senator Clinton. It moved the NY Times to note that Russert played the role of an "opponent" during the affair.

In response to the firestorm of criticism MSNBC received for the blatant ganging up on Clinton, MSNBC trotted out NOW's Kim Gandy to helpfully explain that they "always" "pile on" the front runner in such situations.

So, tonight, some of us are anxiously awaiting the Russert and Williams double-team to "pile on" front-runner John McCain. This should be a sight to behold. I can't wait.
