Tim Russert was my kid of guy....I came from the same roots that he did (blue collar, Irish, Catholic...He was educated by the Jesuists (I was too stupid for that)..
I’m an ex San Francisan, and remeber growing up in an all irish, Caholic neighborhood, way back in the day....That’s all gone now.
When i relocated to the East coast some 15 years ago, I ran into him on the streets of DC and had a great talk with him. He gave me the time of day...
My heart and soul will be always with the guy, as far as I’m concerned the coverage was wonderful!!!
Guys like Tim Russert don’t come along very often!!
God bless him and may his soul be granted eternal rest!!
He apparently did all he can to see his interns succeed in their careers as well....he genuinely cared about people, which is rare in such a competitive area.
But, some coverage was over the top to me a bit.
I loved the Meet the Press show though.
Honestly, if he was such a “great” person and there have been many great people in this world, what was he doing being a media whore? I think Dick Winters was a great guy, but Russert was just a clean log in a sea of poop so it made him look great.
