I wish he was still with us. Perhaps our national conversation right now would be a little bit more civil.

Hell is a lie parents like to tell their children to make their jobs easier.

@zenmachinefilms It's easy for anyone who wants to to do that--because they are ALL full of caca.

Who was the last person being questioned?

[zenmachinefilms]

Russert was great at asking, short leading questions, leading politicians into contradictions.

on please. Russert seems like a nice guy....but he was a Beltway insider. Only in the USA could Russert's questioning be considred tough.... It's laughable.....google Jeremy Paxman and see REAL hard questions...

obama faired well to his assertions. i'm impressed.

[biggzcorey]

It's sad that he died, and blowhards like Beck and O'Reilly are still on the air.

A man not afraid to ask the right questions...and push for a real answer. We could use more like him now; the future of our nation may depend on unearthing the truth for the politically blind to see.
