Yeah... Because there certainly can't be anything more newsworthy to cover than a newsman who dropped dead. Sure. I knew who he was, and appreciated the quality of his work, but the level of coverage seems a bit out of proportion.

slvemike4u -> RE: Tim Russert (6/13/2008 10:08:42 PM)
Newsman was his job yes ,but he was also an invited guest in my living room every sunday for years ,a son,a father and a husband...if the coverage is too much for you turn off the tv....

Watch reporters interview reporters about archive footage of another reporter. Hell, the primaries are over, they need something else to talk about anyway. It's this, or yammer endlessly about the Obama reply to McCain's debate proposal. This is cheaper.

It IS so sad. Not only was he a husband, son, and father,he also was a GREAT man. Fair, balanced and ALWAYS prepared. So young. He had just gotten back from Italy not on vacation,BUT to celerate his sons graduation. His wife and son were still there,when they got the news. He WILL be missed. Sundays will NEVER be the same. My prayers are with his family. Godspeed my friend.

How sad. As Tom Brokaw said, he will be as missed as he was loved.

And the events of his death are even more odd: I guess he's had a stress test in mid April, and passed with flying colors. They're saying that a bit of colesterol plauqe came loose, and clogged his main artery. Like stuffing a cork in his bloodflow. Death was quick in coming. Just goes to show you, you can seem to be in perfect health, but you can drop at any time: coranary thrombosis, an anurisim, a car accident... life has no gaurantees. Carpe deiem. I'm personally gonna miss the guy. He was one of the few out there whose voice I actually trusted to ask the tougher questions... Lewis Black is right: "The good, they die young... but pricks... they live FOREVER!" (Yeah, I'm looking at you, Limbaugh, O'Riley, and Coulter!)

For me, he was just another corporate-backed, mainstream-opinion crafter - But from what I've read about him as a person.....I love his approach/enthusiasm to/for fatherhood and both his relationship and portrayal of that relationship with his own father. The man put a tremendous value on the relationships/interconnectedness with both father and son. - R

You folks think you’re seeing a lot of coverage? You should be here in Western New York, Russert’s home turf. He was involved in a many local charities and people from all walks of life are lining up to sing his accolades – local news showed many of the Buffalo Bills crying. It has been said that the content of one’s character can be judged not by how many people show for your funeral but by how many people are genuinely crying (and not just there because it’s socially expected). I believe it is going to be one very sad funeral. Rest in Peace.
