I agree, nothing is sacred on the internet. Any sense of propriety goes out the window when you have some angry closet shut in pounding on his, or her, keyboard when it's safe and anonymous. I doubt there'd be this kind of 'verbal crotch grabbing' face to face. On balance I think Russert was heads above anyone else out there. He managed to aggravate folks on the left AND the right. But a lot people are so locked into their own inflexible framework of thinking, whether they be Republican or Democrat, white, black etc, that every event is colored and filtered through their particular thought process. So be it......There are a lot of politicians and newspeople I don't care for, but they should all be given some modicum of respect when they pass.
