The one who was hurt most (professionally) by Timmeh Russert's death was Chuckie Toad.. he was the "office son" being mentored by Russert, but when Tim died suddenly, Gregory was vaulted ahead of him. Todd got his own show, but he was being groomed to take over MTP..
Little Russert was lucky that his Dad was so well liked.. He got a chance most never get..
