Tim Russert's kid really bothers me.

He is younger than my youngest kid. He is an entitled smart-ass and that comes across loud and clear. Getting straight news from him is, I suppose, tolerable. Having him give his "opinion" to some other moron teevee host is worthless bullshit. Having him "explain" things as if he were knowledgable is insulting to anyone who watches MSNBC (who is likely more informed that he is.)

Listening to him prattle on as MSNBC's Cliff Watch continues is painful.
