I may be wrong but I do think of Russert as a
journalist. Ask any conservative and they don't count
him as a member but he's well respected and can always
be trusted to ask the questions that need to be asked.
Not like Catie or Matt who hate Bush and will help in
any way to make him look bad.

The point I'm trying to make is you can't have a
balanced debate if both sides agree. If there's
opposing opinions then some real challanging questions
will be asked.

OK, O'Reilly can get to into himself and looses
control a lot, but Rush is the man. He will be fair
and he will give MM every chance to respond. But Rush
will definitly overpower him with his genius.
