You know Chris Matthews has been absolutely obcessed with the Libby prosecution, possibly because it was Libby who called Russert, not the other way around. I read that Libby had called Russert to discuss Chris Matthews and the fact that Matthews was out of control.
Funny, no one has mentioned Imuses' interview with Howard Kurtz this morning in which he revealed that Mary Matalan told someone in the White House that Russert "hated" Matthews.
