The Klobuchar & Kennedy Show?
Yesterday morning, I watched Sunday’s Meet the Press with this strange sense of déjà vu. I found myself asking, “Haven’t I seen this already?” Is this a rerun?
It couldn’t be, of course, because the show had started with a discussion about the fact that North Korea had announced it tested a nuclear bomb, which had happened after last week’s show. So they couldn’t be re-airing the previous week’s show.
Still, I felt as if I had heard it all word-for-word before.
Then I realized who it was that Tim Russett was talking to.
Minnesota Hennepin County Attorney Amy Klobuchar (D) and Representative Mark Kennedy (R).
Why I had just seen them on MSNBC within the last two weeks. They were being asked the same exact questions and they were responding the same exact way. Kennedy was answering every question with an attack on Klobuchar and Klobuchar was repeatedly pointing out that he wasn’t answering the questions. When asked why Kennedy appeared to agree with President Bush 92% of the time, Kennedy thought the study should have been worded that Bush agreed with him 92% of the time.
What I didn’t understand was why they were being asked the same exact questions. Had this been agreed upon? It seemed all so rehearsed to me. A big show on everyone’s part. The fact that the shows are NBC-related does make me wonder. Talk about fake…Meet the Press, Klobuchar, Kennedy, Russett…all of them.
