Goodbye, Tim

We lost a wonderful man today -- Tim Russert passed away after being a veritable icon of political journalism.  He was tough, smart and surprisingly fair in a very difficult industry.  He also seemed to be a good family man.  I and many others will miss seeing him interview and give his commentary, particularly this election year.  It won't be the same without him.

Just reminds me that death will come to us all.  Are we ready to meet the Lord?

Lucy, I couldn't believe this news!! I was also a big fan of Tim Russert. My Sunday morning breakfast will not be the same without watching him on 'Meet the Press'. So sad.

like you said, very unexpected - you never know when you're going to go. what's amazing to me is that the father he spent so much time telling the world about over the past few years and the reverence he held for him, has now outlived him.
