    As i watch the coverage of Tim Russet, I am struck by his decency, compassion, humor, faith, and dedication to family and friends. He is truly a humble example for all of us to follow. He was a Catholic guy who loved his family, God, politics, his roots in Buffalo, Rolling Rock beer, and Bruce Springsteen. I will miss him.

    He was a treasure for all Obamaniacs.

    While the coverage has been extensive, it is nice to see decency, love of family, parents and God be so well appreciated and admired. Mr. Russert's greatest legacy may be that in this celebrity obsessed culture that is it perfectly acceptable and admirable to be a good son, father and friend - that is why I believe the ourpouring of grief has been so great -
