Re: Whate –
How is this appropriate? If you were going to try to hijack a post, why not pick one about The Hills?

The amount of ignorance on this reply board is astounding. The anonymity of the internet never fails to make people free to embrace their inner idiots. Cosmic retaliation for supporting Obama? The only one getting what they deserve is, frankly, Kennedy. But supporting Obama is certainly not his biggest sin.

Tim was a good man, which is rare. Not perfect, but who is? He worked hard, took care of his family, loved his hometown. He did more for Buffalo than any other man I can think of in recent history and the city loved him for it. He made an impact on US politics that will not be forgotten for a long while. His opinions were valued, his points legitimate. Tim loved what he did and the country benefited from it.

He was a good man. And he will be dearly missed. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

For those of us who admire real journalism in a country where it's becoming extinct, he will be missed. Tim Russert was a true American Patriot!

I heard about Tim Russert's death this morning. Being a journalist myself, he was one of the few that I looked up to and aspired to be like. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. He was a man of true character and he will, as Mr. Brokaw said, "be missed as he was loved…greatly." May the four winds blow you safely home.

I work at NBC in Washington and I was at work the day this happened. It was pretty crazy. Driving into work tonight, the front of our station is COVERED with balloons, flowers, signs and cards. It really is amazing what an impact he had on so many people that they took the time to drive to the station and create a memorial for him. RIP Tim.
