What????
No, this can't be!!!
This was supposed to be a glorious year for him. He loved politics. People, like myself, would hang on his every word while he explained how Hillary's math worked, or how Obama couldn't possibly be Muslim with a "Priest" issue, or anything about McCain (because he doesn't make any frickin' sense).
I have to admit...these election years are my favorite. Weird, yes, probably. Its like watching a soap opera in action. All of the frivolous crap that exposes all of these otherwise dignified people. This is the time to watch The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and the Colbert Report - this is when these guys are at their best.
But if you wanted the unbiased truth.....because the truth IS out there....you listened to Tim Russert. He told it like it was (only without the comedic slant - because lets face it, Jon Stewart and Stephan Colbert will tell it like it is too). He was a jovial guy who loved his family and enjoyed telling stories about his Dad. He was "good people". He did not get on tv and yell and scream over everyone in a "No-I'm-right-and-you're-not-and-this-is-my-show" voice. He simply said what needed to be said in one of the most unbiased ways possible.
He had "IT"....whatever "IT" was...."IT" made him the BEST at his job.
Rest in peace, Tim Russert.
My prayers go out to you and your family.

I hadn't hear about Tim Russert. That stinks.
I LOVE The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. HILARIOUS!
Boo. Bad news. I heard it just this afternoon as well. I hope is family is doing ok...
This is such a sad thing. He really was such a great journalist. So many of them now have clear polital bents but he really kept himself neutral to get at the truth. He will be greatly missed.
It does suck. He was the only one who asked questions that needed to be asked, he will be missed.
I am STILL fighting with Charter about my bill. I contacted BBB, FCC and sent a registered letter to Cahrter over a week ago and no response from them! I am still PO!
