How about Tim Russert coming to life? Everybody, a hand for Rusty Jr.

Yep, he stood up and did what we asked: Put Ken Mehlman on the spot about whether they were going to go after the prosecutor.
MR. RUSSERT: You say you have tremendous confidence in Pat Fitzgerald.
MR. MEHLMAN: I do.
MR. RUSSERT: If, in fact, he indicts White House officials, will you accept that indictment and not fight it?
MR. MEHLMAN: First of all, I'm the chairman of the Republican National Committee. I'm not an attorney for anybody. The fact is I look forward to his getting to the bottom of this. I can't speak for...
MR. RUSSERT: But if he indicts White House officials...
MR. MEHLMAN: Right.
MR. RUSSERT: ...will you pledge today, because you have tremendous confidence in him, that you will not criticize his decision?
MR. MEHLMAN: Again, I'm not going to speculate. I have tremendous confidence in him. I look to getting to the bottom of this. Whatever he does, I can assure you, people are going to follow and are going to look to abide by.
MR. PODESTA: Just say "yes," Ken.
Podesta: "Just say "yes," Ken." Brutal. That's the problem with the Big Lie. You can't stop.
