“Russert mentored this jackass to be his successor? wth?”
Russert never mentored that jackass to be his successor, or anyone else, considering he was relatively young when he died.
Dont matter to me who mentored the POS.
To me he is one slimmy smarmy creepy scum bag.
If I had any reason to interact with him I would immediately walk away as my 1st impression would be based on looks alone and that would be total distrust
