I just read it.
He was one of the best at backing a sleeze ball into a corner.
I loved his show.

Mr. Russert,

I didn't much agree with your political opinions 40 years ago or today.

I always had great respect for your intellect and your love of our Creator.

May God keep you and look over your family during these times.

You are all in my prayers.

Tim Russert made me proud to be a Buffalonian.  I shall miss his wisdom.

Ya didn't have to be from Buffalo to like Tim Russert.  He was a journalist and didn't interject his opinions so I never know his personal feelings on different issues.  He had Cronkhite's credibility. It is especially unfortunate that he passed away just as the campaign was heating up and I for one was counting on him to ask hard questions and demand credible answers.  We shall likely not see his kind again in our lifetimes.

Would it be more than cool to see his son in the chair Sunday Morning?
