Ok, so this is a little old, almost a week’s vintage actually, which is ancient by blog standards. But in case anyone of you hadn’t seen this, Newsweek has written about what some people are calling the “Russert miracles,” which includes rainbows, Bruce Springsteen, and politicians talking to each other. I think a unicorn may be in there too.

In a shocker, Christopher Hitchens, the man who called Mother Teresa “a fanatic a fundamentalist and a fraud,” doesn’t buy it. On the other hand, he does enjoy alliteration.

(That’s a picture of a young Russert there with his former boss, the late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Old Irish guys got away with some questionable headwear, didn’t they?)
