Thread: Tim Russert 1950 - 2008

He was good at what he did. He asked good questions and I liked his style and personality.

I'll go to YouTube to see Russert interview Cheney.

Was he throwing soft balls to Cheney?

If we had a cry smiley, I'd use it.
I really admired Mr Russert. He was a gentleman and really knew his stuff. Today, I've been watching msnbc (all Tim stuff) and other news clips.
Don't believe he won't be here to dissect the campaign.
Brilliant mind and a wonderful personage.
Bet he's in heaven interviewing dead leaders.
