Chuck Todd explained what he tries to bring to NBC via his reporting. "I'm trying to ask the kitchen table question, the question my mom and grandmother want to know."

I almost had to remind myself to breathe inside the Newseum. There was Patty Hearst's gun and jacket. Donald Brasco's watch and Amex Card. A press pass to Timothy McVeigh's execution.

Well, it could've been worse. As 2008 mercifully ends, we're left to ponder a year in which the real and the surreal were pretty much indistinguishable, where insanity actually became tedium.

With the 50th anniversary of the Cuban revolution this week, I remember the last time I talked to Fidel. It was at the Havana airport in 1988, and Fidel was saying goodbye to Maria Shriver and me. But this was no friendly adios.

I quite like most of the "unsolicited advice" that Jack Shafer, of Slate, has teed up for the benefit of incoming Meet The Press host David Gregory. ...

NBC cannot and should not expect David Gregory to "fill the shoes" of Tim Russert. I suspect Gregory would tell you the same thing. They have different styles; both are valid, but very different.

So how do I feel about David Gregory taking over? Uhm ... it's okay I guess? Like a wall painted with a particularly intense shade of beige?

McCain runs the gamut from rebellious teenager to grumpy old man without ever pausing at the stage of mature adult.

The level to which Palin refused to stay on subject during the VP debate, the glibness of responses, and the dearth of content, created a new low mark on the barometer of our public discourse.

Tonight I think we know who the next President will be. McCain kept repeating that Obama doesn't "understand." But he clearly did. McCain made up no ground.
After a three-night stay in Moscow, the Obamas touched down in Rome on Wednesday so Papa President...
