The two leading candidates for president, McCain and Obama, gave a small, but significant, tribute to Tim Russert today at his funeral mass, they sat side by side.
With the ramping up of the general election rhetoric and the staking out of familiar positions by both campaigns, it was refreshing to see that all of the flotsam and jetsam was set aside so as to allow for the civility of the moment to show through.
They will return to their respective ramparts in short order, no doubt, but for a few moments the decency of both allowed for the underlining of the respect they and so many others had for Mr. Russert.
