For those who did not see or hear the testimony today, the ONLY thing Russert remembered today was that he did not tell Libby about Plame.

In fact, he didn't even remember being on Imus the morning of the indictments, telling Imus "It's like Christmas Eve," referring to waiting for the indictments, nor did he remmber being on The Today Show that day saying, "It's the biggest story in 130 years."

That part was funny..."Imus? I don't know any Imus..."

They all conveniently forget.......

Was watching Shep Smith discuss this Christmas Eve comment to Imus.....with Catherine Herridge. Shep said EVERY newsroom has the same attitude when something big happens. He stuck up for Russert and tried to explain it away.

Herridge did not buy that line at all....to her credit.

At least that was my interpretation of Herridge's comments.

Libby's attorneys say Russert knew about Plame from colleagues David Gregory and Andrea Mitchell. Mitchell said in an interview that she and other reporters knew Plame worked for the CIA but she later recanted that statement. Wells had hoped to play clips of Mitchell discussing her statements on the Don Imus morning show on MSNBC. Fitzgerald successfully argued that the tapes not be played. "We might as well take 'Wigmore on Evidence' and replace it with 'Imus on Evidence,'" Fitzgerald said, referencing the classic treatise on evidentiary law. "There's no Imus exception to the hearsay rule. This has no business in a federal court."

Quite fortunate for Fitzgerald to get rid of the "She Said - She Said" in regards to Mitchell. Seems alot of what has been testified to would qualify as hearsay.
