...ones to stuff a sock in their mouth? McCain's absence has created such a big hole on shows like Imus in the Morning that producers have reached down to third-tier chatterers like me. The Sunday shows used to be exclusively for people of McCain's ilk. Last Sunday, Tim Russert played host to four senatorial Meet the Press virgins: Larry Craig, Patty Murray, Gordon Smith and Carl Levin. In other words, the farm team...
