I think Tim Russert is vastly over rated. People give him way more credit than he is due because they hesitate to speak ill of the dead. I remember vividly the way Potato Head’s voice and facial expressions changed depending on whether he was talking to a Dem or Republican. There was nothing impartial or unbiased about him.

I think he represented a different time and type of moderator. He may have been biased, but certainly not to the extent of the lineup of just plain idiots they have now.
