I feel the same way. I can’t remeber feeling so sad about the death of a personality for quite awhile. I think it’s because he’s seemed so decent and was a devoted son, dad and husband.

Whew- I know exactly what you mean.
The difference -as I’ve said elsewhere- as have others- is Russert was not a leftist lib- he was a regular old-school Democrat. It was clear that Russert was a genuinely good guy.

Prayers for your husband and your family. Quitting his stressful job is the best thing your husband will have ever done. My older brother had his first bypass at 45. It was followed by others, so it’s not been easy, but he is about to celebrate his 73rd birthday. He manages to play golf a few times a week, and plays cards regularly with a group of friends. His life is good. Let us all pray your husband enjoys a similar path.

It was the video where he was saying Hillary should drop out because everybody knows Obama is going to be the nominee.I thought that was wrong of Russert too.
To: LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget
Very sad. RIP, Tim.
How ironic that he should die before his beloved elderly Dad, and two days before Father’s Day.
My condolences to the family and to his colleagues.

It might be about politics to you. But not too me. Do you think that the left would cry a tear if Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rush died? Tell me what you think would be said?

Prayers for you and your family, sir.

Was listening to Shep on Sirius radio when he made the announcement. Evidently, Fox had the report earlier but was waiting for NBC to break it. They reported after Brokaw made the announcement. Shep and Chris Wallace were reporting and commenting.
Very sad for the family. Tim, his wife (writer for Vanity Fair) and their son who had just graduated Boston College had just returned from a trip to Italy to celebrate the graduation.

Russert would say the most with the fewest words.
God bless his family.
He was a great human being.

Oh please.......Russert had just returned from a trip to Italy last night, according to Sean H. It could have been a blood clot.
Hillary doesn't have that kind of power.
