To this day, there is one Meet the Press faux pas that still makes Russert cringe.
Phillips: “October 29, 1995. Former Nebraska Senator Bob Kerrey, guest on Meet the Press.”
Russert: “Oh, God. I know this one.”
Phillips: “He had lost a part of his leg from a wound in Vietnam. This exchange.”
Russert: “Are you not concerned that if you cut a deal with the Republicans, President Clinton will saw your limb off?”
Sen. Bob Kerrey: “Oh, that's a terrible metaphor, since somebody's already sawed one of them off.”
Russert: “Here I am with a decorated Vietnam war veteran amputee. How did I ever say, ‘Saw your limb off?’ I went to a commercial as soon as I could after this. And just literally put my head on the desk like this. And I looked up and Bob Kerrey said, ‘I own you.’” [laughter]
