He made me a better person...
June 13, 2008 | North Plainfield, New Jersey | Vetting explained
Politics used to intimidate the daylights out of me. It was one subject that seemed significantly larger than what my brain could handle. In 2000, I began watching Russert. I haven't been the same person since. His explanations, poignant and direct questioning and humor was riddled with love, understanding, respect and care for the American people. My thoughts on politics have gone from closed to open-minded as a result of watching and listening to him.
Simply put, Mr. Russert made me a smarter and wiser person. God bless you, God bless politics without you, and God bless America.
