The questions were pretty good I thought. Why do you find Russert so grating? As James Harding put it in Friday's Financial Times: "... Tim Russert, an interviewer who by America's standards of deferential on-air treatment of politicians is known for his combative style, awkward questions and persistent follow-ups...." Could you imagine Larry King doing the interview?
