Good-bye, Tim Russert.

14/06/2008

I’m not into politics all that much, but I love watching Meet the Press. Sundays, while Bos and the kids would scoot off to church, I would stay home and get work done around the house and watch Meet the Press. Sometimes, I might be interested in some of the guests on the show, or the topics covered. But mostly, I just liked watching Tim Russert. I loved hearing him read the excerpts, ask the tough questions. I loved how he was able to mix in a little bit of humor when needed. It was joyful to watch him — like he was just meant to do that job.

Needless to say, I was shocked and devastated yesterday when I learned that he died. Sundays just won’t be the same anymore.

    As I watched the tribute to Tim Russert on Meet the Press this morning I wondered who else is there who is does what Tim Russert did.

    He held both sides of our political divide accountable. He seemed to treat people fairly. This is because I think he had a high appreciation of what good a person could do. His way with people, as I saw it on his show, spoke to what I believe was his trust in the goodness of people.

    That meant he didn’t fool around with bull shit cynicism and he asked hard, honest questions. He treated people as if they could handle and deserved honest questions. That’s impressive.
