What a lesson/legacy
Tim Russert tributes are everywhere. Deservedly so.One of the most powerful and influential people in the media,and yet what a kind, humble, caring man he was.I read stories of his notes to his fellow journalists,phone calls of encouragement to our local newspeople,just hanging out with common people when he visited here.He really was a remarkable man,and deserving of all the accolades.Really though,he was living life as it is supposed to be lived,how Jesus said we should live.Tim just flat out cared for people,made time for them,made them feel special,was grateful for all he had, was never full of himself, put his family and his God first.WHAT AN EXAMPLE!THAT'S how were supposed to live.I have the opportunity to be remarkable, too,and it has nothing to do with success as the world defines it.Let's see... be remarkable by the world's standards or the Russert standard. That's a no brainer. Give me Russert any day!

AMEN and AMEN!!!!! I loved that man. He never forgot where he came from and was the epitomy of a home town man who made it, but never forgot his roots, how he was raised and taught to treat people.
i am so sad. what a loss for all of us.
and also very strange that he will be gone now in the midst of this election. you know what i mean, ed. he was fair, but also influential. how weird is it that he won't be here to ask the tough questions and moderate debates?
