When I started to get into politics, Tim Russert was my idol. He was thoughtful in his commentary and he had a perfect job. Sometimes, I thought he could have been tougher, but maybe he he eased off the gas in order to get the individuals in front of him to lower their guard and give you a sliver of their real thoughts. It has been over a decade since I started watching Meet the Press. Getting up on Sunday and turning on his show was a mainstay of my morning routine. (Yes, I realize most of you are shaking your heads!)
I will miss Tim’s viewpoint the remainder of this season and in political seasons to come. I send my sympathies to his family.
