Thank god, a slight ray of light appears. Yes, Russert started off with the "awful" mistake Obama made by bringing up the wedge issues in a very in artful way... and the discussion pissed me off royally. Obama's only defender was Bob Shrum, of all people.

After pounding that for the first 15 minutes, Tim brought up Bill's recent comments on Kosovo, and then replayed all the clips of Hillary talking up being under sniper fire, plus the clip of what really happened. He then brought up Mark Penn's connection to Columbia and what that meant for that campaign.

Adding to this, the panel went on to discuss the issue of exactly how Clinton has run her campaign, and whether it was fair to use this as a metric on her executive abilities. The panel agreed it was fair, and that the campaign hadn't been run well at all. Even Carville admitted that Clinton was likely headed for defeat.

Overall, not a bad show, tune in and then give Tim some love for being "balanced" for once!
