I heard someone say on tv this evening that it was Russett’s legal training that kept him so fair in interviews, despite his beginnings in Democrat politics.

He’ll be missed, that’s a fact.

I think he was more a giant than a lion.
Lions make a lot of noise but don’t do much harm unless you are a potential meal.
Tim did not make a lot of noise but could quickly make a meal of a mealy mouthed response.

We have all lost a friend.

I clicked on Drudge mid-afternoon, and was shocked to hear of his death. I felt like I’d been punched in the stomach. He was a great journalist, and I will miss him.

Tim Russert RIP…

Tim Russert passes while preparing final voiceovers for weekend edition of MTP.

This was quite a shocker to learn. He’d just published an article this AM about need of media to be careful with fact checking when covering the campaign.

Nice tribute, Rick. I happened to load up MSNBC.com and saw the news. Shocking. It bothered me more than it should, I guess. Maybe because (like you, I seem to recall) 58 is way too close to my own age. He seemed like too much of a force of nature to die.

Russert to Saint Peter: “Here’s what you said in AD 1, let’s just put it up there. Your own words, sir.”
