One of the tactics Sean Hannity uses to sandbag his democratic guests is to read a quote and make believe somebody else said it. Then when the guest answers, Hannity says that John Kerry said it. When Russert reads his graphic, he usually ends with who said it before asking for a reaction. Not this morning. Tim Russert did that today to Senator Kennedy to try and trip him up over the vote on Iraq. I can't remember Timmy acting like Sean Hannity before.
