This was a real shock to me, as it was to everyone, I’m sure. The more I’ve heard about him as a “professional” today, I realized that, though I didn’t agree with his political viewpoint, he was good at his job and worked hard at it.

I will keep his family in my thoughts, especially his son after just graduating and spending time together with his dad, and now Father’s Day coming up. It’s a lot to bear. God bless the Russert family at this time.

Although a lib he was a good one; generally fair and always smart. He maintained cordial relations with folks like Rush and Sean and sometimes annoyed the Right without generating any real antipathy.

Also the enjoyment he took in his job and in politics was as contagious as his devotion to his family was endearing.

Sad news. Far too young.

Condolences to his family.
