> Is it just me or did Russert look unusually bad this morning?

I didn't watch, but keep in mind that Russert was likely
under some duress. Once news of the interview was out, I'm
sure he got lots of "help" on the questions. It's possible
that personally, he didn't want to ask some, or run such a
confrontational cross-examination. Consider who he takes
his marching orders from, and who's leaning on them too.

In any case, sounds like GW handled this campaign warm-up
competently.

Virtually all of Russert's questions were Democratic talking points. It was painfully obvious that he was carrying water for them, attacking the President in every instance. Wonder if he felt any guilt about doing a partisan hatchet job on a wartime president--in the Oval Office?
