Russert was top shelf in my book.

All politicians were alfraid of appearing on Meet the Press for good reason.

Russert was tough.

RIP !

There were some times that he pissed me off, but all in all he seemed like a genuine guy that actually did his job. Which made him in a league of his own in his industry, which is fucking sad.
