Big Fish

I won't be posting for a few days, as I haven't the days before. Things are things and Tim Russert is dead, and the political world just feel darker.

The egos of Washington and media couldn't hold a candle to Russert's good natured grillings. Research, research. The 1 hour program ooooozed savvy research.

I watched Meet the Press every Sunday. He gathered politicians and columnists for the best show in politics.

Today I remember his Scott McClellan interview. How he finds the videos and incriminating statements he does was a gas. This McClellan video showed Scott leaving the white house. George Bush was putting his arm around Scott, sayings ooooh we'll be sharing old stories on the rocking chairs down in Texas.

Then it cuts out and Russert asks McClellan if that will still be happening.

He had it, he was old school and he was a pro. Light a candle for the good of the world. Here's a link.
