Reflections On Fluffy Hair, Double Chins.

That Tom, what a jokester!

Remember that day last June when Brokaw told that totally crappy joke about The Big Guy?

Yeah, I didn't find it funny then, and I don't find it funny now.

However...it does seem odd that The Big Guy would still be in the bathroom after an entire year.

Maybe it's time to accept the fact that The Big Guy is gone. Besides, even if he did come back, there's no way we could pry that giant redwood David Gregory out that moderator chair.

Oh well.

Listen Russert, maybe it's time that you go on with your bad self and enjoy one of Mother Teresa's famous kosher burgers, throw back some sake with Truman, and then maybe play some tennis with FDR. (Advice: hit it long and hard.) Or, if you're feeling especially zippy, go clank some chains around Chris Matthews bedroom and whisper tauntingly about how he'll never become your replacement. (That will kill him!)

Here's to you, Big Guy.
