Cooper and his wife are very, very close friends of Hillary Clinton.

Not just close "friends". Mandy Grunwald, Matt Cooper's wife, has worked for the Clintons for YEARS. She worked on two presidential elections and Hillary Clinton's senate election. She is still working as a Hillary political adviser to this day.

At a couple of points, I thought Matt was going to cry. I love Russert's so empathetic question: "Do you think that this matter will jeopardize your career?" Oh no, political hack journalists will always have a future in character assassination. If talking to a reporter and saying what he said was soooo baaaddd.... why did Matt have to print anything?, just cause Novak did?
