No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

What a shock.

I always enjoyed "Meet the Press" with Tim as host.


Prayers for God's love and comfort to surround his family. I know all about a "sudden" death of a loved one....the shock is a tough one to get over.

Very sad. Prayers for his family and friends..

The speculation at this point is DVT, since he just returned from Italy either last night or early this morning. :(

Unfortunately, there will likely be much rejoicing at places like the DUmp.

Why? He was a Dem. They're already speculating Chimpy McBushitler* and the BFEE had him killed. :whatever:

Loved Meet the Press with Tim. (one of my Sunday rituals)  :(

Sad, terrible news. Peace and love to the family and to his friends. I know he has many. RIP Tim Russert.

RIP, Tim Russert. You were one of the crew that made the 2000 election interesting. That was your job and you did it well.

I want you guys to reflect on this moment and if your fathers are still living, make damn sure you call him on Sunday. I called mine as soon as I heard the news. Tim was about my dad's age and my dad has some severe health issues. You never know when the "time" will come. Cherish every moment.


On another note, I would say I appreciate the emotions, courtesy, and class coming from you guys, but it's not something uncommon by people at CC, and when I was at CU. Contrast that to DU now, and when someone like Brit Hume or Tony Snow dies. Don't pat yourself on the back, just realize there are some major f'n differences between us and those morons.

not to play politics at an improper moment, but the election in november will miss his
