Tim Russert was probably the only guy left at NBC that had no obvious political leaning and was pretty fair across the board with everyone, he was tough, consistent, geniune and had an honest sincere love of Politics and its inner workings, he educated millions of viewers who otherwise may not have participated in the process. When folks in media pass they always champion them as dedicated, nice, hard working blah blah blah but for some reason you get a genuine feeling that in Mr. Russert's case it was actually true, god speed Mr Russert and God Bless those he left behind. Maybe tonight he is at a desk interviewing JFK, Lincoln, Washington and anyone else he surely is interested in talking to.
