A journalist and a gentleman.


Sadly, Tim Russert has passed. NBC's Washington Bureau Chief and "Meet the Press" moderator collapsed and died of a coronary embolism. Rest in peace - you were one of the good ones.

liz,

here's an update: all the broadcast/cable news networks are paying tribute to tim russert this evening--and i do mean ALL of them, with rival cable news networks CNN/FOX devoted the *entire* hour of their news shows to him!

liz,

i saw the memorial service on tv yesterday, and it was very nice!

at the end of the service, the song Somewhere Over The Rainbow was played on a ukele, and in the sky there were not one, but two actual rainbows!
