Russert Dead at 58

We are all saddened by the untimely death (as if any death is timely) of Tim Russert. Now enough already. The wall to wall deification is getting ridiculous. He was after all a partisan liberal who gave conservatives a harder time than liberals and that became more obvious as time went on.

He was fairer than most but he was no Edward R Murrow. Unfortunately the Press is self worshipping so expect at least another 24 hours of insufferable genuflexion.

Addendum: Look at this quote from his physician Michael Newman... Russert had earlier been diagnosed with asymptomatic coronary artery disease, "but it was well-controlled with medication" Newman said.

Errr, maybe not Doc. Jeez, the medical establishment can be so obtuse.
