Russert, RIP

Tim Russert has just died. I've received a bunch of tweets (on twitter, of course) lionizing him. Well, I'm sorry that he died but I will forever remember him as a softball pitcher for the Bush Administration who saw him as the best way to get Dark Lord Cheney's message out.
Tim has probably done laudable work that I should remember, but I'm sorry to say that is all I think of when I hear his name.
It is sad any time a human being dies, but certainly yesterday, many more died who were worthy of our sympathy.
Russert was a whore who never asked a follow up question. You can respect prostitutes who do their work with professionalism. But Russert was just a lazy whore who felt that he was the one in power due to his rubbing elbows with the powerful. While he will be missed by his family, I doubt he will by the political world.
