It was funny to see the dedicated Ron enemy of the recent Meet the Press on MSNBC's Morning Joe today. Russert, using a tone, smile, and body language that clearly communicated, I like this guy, I admire this guy, said, approvingly: "I think Ron Paul can come in fourth tomorrow; he can beat not only Giuliani, but Thompson too. I really think he can."

A change of heart? Not really, though we'll take it. It's the further working out of Rockwell's Law: Anyone who censors, unfairly attacks, let alone smears Ron Paul, will themselves be hurt. Corollary: Violators will be forced to shape up or ship out. Like Glenn Beck and the NY Times, Tim Russert has developed new respect for Ron and the revolution of freedom and peace. So will Rupert Murdoch and the rest of the Old Media.
