RA does not take to Russert, one of his comments in another threrad was pulled. I think he was one of the good guys of the leftist MSM.

Oh, well. My page doesn’t show breaking news, simply because it’s long been posted by the time I get to it.

I spotted him and his wife at a bar not long ago. He looked like he was carrying about 125lbs of extra weight on his middle. The desk can hide a lot.

Too bad to see him go. He was the best of the Sunday intervewers and probably the best debate moderator we would ever get.

I’ve the same problem; when I type “Tim Russert” and hit search, it came back with no hits.
