WASHINGTON - NBC News reporter Tim Russert should find the format familiar: An interviewer, a television screen and a gauntlet of pointed questions.

Unlike his seat as host of "Meet the Press," however, Russert won't be asking the questions.

1. It should be good.

I'm hoping that the trial continues to move along at a good pace. If so, Russert should be on the witness stand this afternoon.

2. I'm sure he'll find some way....

to turn his testimony toward the real cause of the Plame leak: Clinton's cock. I do believe that Timmy thinks Clinton's penis is behind every act of evil occurring in the world today.

Sing Timmy, SING! :rofl:
