Tim Russert was so unique in America today. Because he was smart, courteous and charming in a Buffalo, boy- like way.
Tim was most unusual because he was not a child pf wealth. Now, it seems most who make it come from Ivy League schools and all doors are opened to them because of family money and influence.
How refreshing Tim was to come from working class Buffalo, and to remain proud of his heritage !
There ane none with his intellect and courage to confront the liars who come on Meet the Press to be interviewed.
I saw a clip of Tim confronting McCain and it was great.
As McCain lied, Tim showed video of his words to show the lies.
Tim had courage and we lack that in America now.
That is, in great part, why we are in deep economic troubles.
Where are the intelligent, articulate people of courage?
And don't tell me his son, as he is just a college kid!

We miss and need you, Tim.

God Bless
