SUSAN MOLINARI Rosie meets Russert. Bags lousy life of Congresswoman for easy street as anchor. And no, anchors ain't reporters...
Indeed, in an interview with Tim Russert on Sunday's "Meet the Press," Charlton "Moses" Heston came out shooting. Asked repeatedly by Russert why the NRA backed revoking the Brady Bill and was so enthusiastic in foiling the government's attempts to regulate the distribution of semi-automatic and automatic weapons, Heston toed the party line artfully enough to make even the most sanguine gun advocate proud. When confronted with statistics displaying the wide-spread violence and the staggering number of juvenile deaths caused every year by the mismanagement of fire arms, he adopted the Disraeli defense, dismissing statistics...

NBC aired a few minutes of Kay Bailey Hutchison's speech on Tuesday night, then broke away so anchorman Tom Brokaw could summarize the juiciest lines for analyst Tim Russert ("She goes on to say that 'it's time to wake up to President Clinton and his high-taxing, free-spending, promise-breaking...'"). If it's worth quoting, isn't it worth showing...
