I’m amazed at my emotional reaction to this news compared to my reaction to the Kennedy illness. Though I felt compassion for Kennedy at the news, it was not deeply felt, more of a compassion most have for a fellow human who has a serious illness. I don’t have respect for the man as I believe he doesn’t have the best interests of our country at heart and has disrespected his vows to his wife and his church.
My reaction to Russert’s passing is much more emotional; I agree with many on here that he was a patriotic American who loved his country and his family. Two liberal Democrats, two completely different reactions.
