Extremely intelligent, caring, and fair reporter for NBC. Host of Meet the Press for over 18 years, and the NBC Washington Bureau Chief. Recently deceased; R.I.P.
Tim Russert's interview on Meet the Press last Sunday nailed the issues exactly and didn't distract the audience with political intrigue or slander.

Easily one of the better journalists of my generation, noted for being VERY down the middle on the meet press and just widely accepted as freakin' great...He was the man..He was really great and when he died there was constant news coverage on this legend

When I heard about extreme belly fat being a factor in "sudden cardiac death", I measured my body's lattitude at my belly button. I'm probably not eight feet tall. Therefore, it would behoove me to exercise, eat less junk food and get rid of this Russert potato!

Closet liberal; one who poses as independent thinker and journalist, but is using one's position to spread liberal media bias.

When reminiscing about the late Tim Russert, these Imaginary Russert Qualities or IRQs, are the ideas that conjure up in your mind, regardless of whatever the media says contrary to them.
"Her dad has at least three of the Imaginary Russert Qualities."
"Calm down dad, you're getting the IRQs again."
Imaginary Russert Qualities include, but are not limited to the following:
1. Russert as an Alcoholic with various gins and vodkas on top of his stainless steel fridge
"Don't you even think about touching my Tanqueray you little nitwit!"
2. Poor parenting skills such as suddenly screaming at his son with a piece of corn chowder hanging on his lip.
"How was your day at school son?"
"eh, it was okay"
"You better hope that passed your exams with flying colors or else I'll hang your scrawny ass up by your silly pants, I'm not waking up at ridiculous hours to interview these jackasses for my health! Now go to your room and don't come out until you've finished Wealth of Nations!!!"
3. Throwing temper tantrums whilst making home repairs:
"GODDAMMIT I WANT MY FATHER BACK!!" ::KNOCKS HAMMER THROUGH WALL::
