Russert is one of my favorites (though I don't watch much TV news anymore).
Wow. RIP, Tim. Keep asking the tough questions. We'll miss you. Title: Re: Tim Russert Dies of Heart Attack Post by: indianasmith on June 13, 2008, 07:50:54 PM That really stinks. He was one of the better and more fair-minded journalists out there. Rest in peace, Tim, and may you and Big Russ have some good fishing in the afterlife.

The breaking news for both came at the same time. it was rather shocking, I had respect for both of them.
I always liked Russert, he was one of the more fair journalist out there. He was well rooted and never forgot where he came from, he I felt was one if the few real people in a elitist industry. Friday the 13th indeed. |
