Try to stay on topic next time!

That said, again, he was one of the best that are out there today. He at least seemed to give an effort to hitting his interviewees from several different sides of an issue. Seemed like a real family guy too. RIP.

p.s. Why, God? Why couldn’t you take Rush Limbaugh instead?

for instance:
“Hi dad, I’ve been meaning to tell you, I enjoy fellating other men.”
“hmmm….”
“this just in: Tim Russert died!!!”
“BOO HOO! oh the humanity!”

I didn’t know Russert, I didn’t know his work, but I know this: in a year’s time, you’ll be able to say his name and draw blank looks. Epic legacy indeed.

Seriously? His show was the Obama hour, so obviously biased. I voted for Obama, but it was just too much.

Tim Russert will be greatly missed. A wonderful journalist and someone who made politics interesting to someone who hates politics.

Now I am certainly not trying to disrespect the fine and outstanding work this man did. I appreciate his fairness and ability (and commitment) to asking the tough questions, no matter who the guest. But epic legacy? I can only hope so. What made him different was his ability to maintain a fair approach to every guest on his show even though he was personally liberal. I fear that most of the journalists in the country are applauding that one of the last white knights of journalism is gone. Not being an expert in journalism, I throw the question out to all of you, in an era when the severe majority of news sources are liberal (CNN, MSNBC, etc) or conservative (FNC), will any legacy, let alone an Epic Legacy, be allowed?
