Tim Russert Has a Posse

1950 - 2008

Homicide's Tim Russert has a posse. He was my mom's age.

In his own words:
When I became moderator of Meet the Press, the first phone call I made was to Lawrence Spivak, the founder of this program. He invited me to his apartment: it was a shrine to Meet the Press, as I entered the doors and looked at all the photographs and letters and memorabilia he had from his years on Meet the Press.


And I said, "Larry, what's the mission of this program? Our program, Meet the Press."

He said, "It's simple. Each and every Sunday, you have to learn as much as you can about your guest, and his or her views and positions on issues... and then take the other side."
