I love Tim russert as an interviewer but...
pleeeease enough of him and Big Russ.

Its a cute story.

Now get off my TV.

leave us alone. Go away. I, and I am sure millions of others, are sick to their collective stomachs of you.

I think the only channels he hasnt been on yet is the Oxygen network and Animal Planet.

1. I can't stand his bias as an interviewer
he always gives the republicans a free pass 90% of the time

5. disagree
he gives those in powerful positions a free pass, so they'll come back on the show. Not that that's any better.

2. I agree. Could they at least stick some more current political
chit chat in during these conversations if we have to listen to them over and over again? How about how Big Russ, as a Catholic, viewed Kennedy when he ran. How that is different from what is now going on with Kerry. On never mind, then it might actually be interesting.

4. Yup
I check out other web sites and the repugs think he is too soft on dems and too tough on their guys. If he is annoying everybody he must be doing something right.

He asks pointed questions yet he is not rude. I love when he does that "lets put this up on the screen" thing. Most political people think his is the best show to go on. I do too.

So my guess is its perspective and individual opinion. Overall I think he is fair and very good

BUT NO MORE BIG RUSS!!! I am begging you...

6. I can't rip too much on Russert
He's a fellow John Carroll alumnus.

9. He is a shill. He got MTP from Jack Welch based on a Bush puff piece

This guy is there to ensure GE makes money off NBC, and that means propping up Bush (cf. the literal 'softball' questions asked of Gov. Bush in 2000).
