Tim was a class act and that he is still and always will be missed!

[acarmyofone]

If that's what you think of Tim Russert, you don't know anything about him. I'll miss you dearly, Mr. Russert.

@ArrowJFH ...lol, very good, I guess if I lived in a bubble instead of the real world I'd feel the same about me.

@911insidejo8 words can't describe your level of ignorance.

It speaks volumes that reporters,politicians,religiou­s figures,coworkers & constituents from all points on the spectrum of the social,political,racial & religious compass respected and held Russert in such high regard personally & professionally unlike Beck, Rush,Hannity or Maher.Sure, he made a lot of money but there is a price for quality and that is just what he brought. I think without him the quality has gone down significantly of both Meet the Press and the network he worked at.

@thomasuras ...no, people should remember that he made millions serving the predatory ruling class and that he was not some sort of American rock star hero. Also that he had some kind of combination of no discernment, no care for the proletariats of the world, no courage, self-centeredness. Like Limbaugh, Hannity, Maher, Olbermann, Beck and all the controlled mouthpieces, he sold his soul for a dollar, hope it buys him a nice air conditioner in hell.

@sturmluger ...he sure was, and I'm so sick of how the media portrays him as some sort of hero when, like almost all media mouthpieces, he was paid millions to play along with the sharade that the 2-party dictatorship only bickers bc they are trying to figure out how to best serve the American people. And then watching the dumb peasantry play along.

Now fatty junior is set up to continue the family tradition.

Something is very wrong about this story. I think he was poisoned that day.

Tim Russert: He was a good man in tradition with the family plan (to quote an early Elton John song:-).
