Which is why I'm urging NBC to go outside the journalism box
a second time for the rare guy who can continue the Russert
tradition of fair, penetrating and effective decency: Stephen
Colbert, anyone?
I know, I know. You're saying: "He's a comic actor, not a journalist."
Tim Russert was a political operative, not a journalist.
But Stephen Colbert, the man who coined the word "truthiness,"
can (like Russert) pierce through the multiple veils of doublespeak
to get politicians on both sides of the aisle to tell us the truth about
themselves, whether they want to or not.
Yeah, maybe he'll get a congressman to say that drugs are a "fun thing to do."
