Tim Russert seems to be bent on avoiding legitimate questions in the Republican debate - He asks Huckabee whether he trusts McCain on taxes, then he asks Romney if he trusts McCain on taxes.  The best part - after Huckabee, to his credit, says the issue of trust is up to the voters and Romney finesses the question to avoid saying whether he trusts McCain, Russert has the gall to say to McCain, “Governor Romney invoked your name, I’ll give you a chance to respond” Are you kidding me, Romney invoked the name because you asked him a leading question.  He did the same sort of thing during the Democratic debate – Frankly, it’s just embarrassing that the Meet the Press moderator and Lead Washington Reporter for NBC seems to be trying to provoke the candidates rather than asking substantive questions.
