There were many wonderful things about Tim Russert, not the least of which was his ability to remain fair and focused in his interviews. In addition, he had a way of relaying by his manner that he was interested and engaged with the person being interviewed. There was a warmth about him that was very endearing and made one feel that he'd be a good friend and neighbor. His unquestionable integrity and devotion to his public and his family were admirable. He was a marvelous role model for anyone and especially, for his fellow journalists. Our lives were made richer by his presence in the world.

Tim will be a hard act to follow, as a person, and as a personality. Rest In Peace "Little Russ"...

Tim Russert was obviously a great guy and a great professional, but I'm beginning to wonder about all the press coverage of his death. It seems to prove once again how solopsistic the media has become. From the spinning analysists in love with their own voices and opinions who spent more on-air time giving their views than covering the actual statements of presidential candidates to the ongoing, seemingly endless coverage of Russert, the media has proven itself more interested in itself than in anything else happening in the world. The media elected Barak Obama in the presidential primaries and now it is cannonizing Russert, one of its own. Enough already.

Hi Sara, sorry, I'm a Brazilian, but wouldn't that be solipsistic???Anyway ... I agree with your point of view ...
