Tim Russert a good liberal

A number of my conservative friends did not know Russert was an old-style liberal -- because he spared neither conservative nor liberal on his show. He got to the core of an issue and stuck with the facts, scarcely revealing his own liberal soul. This is the mark of a true journalist -- and peacemaker.

Someone should make a hall of fame of "good" liberals both we and conservatives could agree on. Russert would be on that list.
