I dont think Scooter needs any more guidance on how to lie.
As noted Russert can be as bad as all the rest but on occasion he does a good job.
Despite some of the crap he pulled Sunday he did one very good thing, he got two very specific admissions out of Dean. These admissions are no on tape and can be used against him. In some ways he was giving Dean enough rope to hang himself.
The first admission was that those who say the Democrats have no plan on Iraq, the Economy, Social Security or the other big issues which concern people, are correct. The current Democratic policy is to simply stop the Republicans from carrying out their plans. The Democrats will have a stated policy on these issues eventually in time for the 2006 election. In other words we have no principles or beliefs but we will come up with something to tell the American public so we can win the next election.
Second, when we say Bush lied we really mean mislead. When we say mislead we mean didn't share all the intelligence. When we say didn't share all the intelligence we mean they did gives us all the reports they left out some of the qualifications and caveat. When we say they left out some caveats we mean they gave us the caveats in writing they just did not emphasize them enough.
In other words when we say Bush lied we mean there tone a demeanor did not make us skeptical enough.
I think this is similar to a woman claiming she was raped because; the man did not make it clear in his tone and demeanor, that he not was interested in a long term relationship.
