He was incredibly rude. He didn't listen to the Vice President's answers and he asked inane and intentionally insulting questions.
He even closed asking whether VP Cheney brought his shotgun with him.
The answer should have been, "no, but you would be safer if I did than you would be accepting a ride from any of the Kennedy's"
LOL -- that would have been perfect.
He was butt rude. I haven't watched Russert for at least 6 months and it'll be another 6 months minimum before I watch him again.
