everything Tim Russert worked so hard to build...and poof! out the window
Russert was just another big liberal politician. Prior to becoming host of Meet the Press, Russert worked as a special counsel, and later as chief of staff, to Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan. In 1983 he became the counsel to Governor Mario Cuomo.
I'd like to know what Russert thought about Olbermann. He probably felt that Matthews was somewhat goofy and harmless, but I bet he had very dismal views about that lunatic Olberbaby. And I wouldn't be surprised he shared those views with Brokaw and Williams. Would be nice to have been a fly on the wall when they got together.
Tim Russert VEILED his hatred of anything on the right.
Tim Russert....was a very left leaning fellow.
