Tim Russert

The thing that's always bugged me the most about the Valerie Plame leak is that Tim Russert was called to testify during the trial of "Scooter" Libby about what he knew about the leak, while Robert Novak, the man responsible for broadcasting the leaked information, was not.

Now it bugs me that Russert is dead, while Robert Novak, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, and puppet / pawn / good soldier "Scooter" Libby all get to see another sunrise.

Sunday morning squabble shows will be a little less civil without Tim Russert's presence.
