jedsaWhat a shame... He was only 58, and it comes the weekend of Father's Day. His poor family. :(
It's so hard watching MSNBC right now, as his colleagues all try to pay tribute to Tim Russert without sniffling. Chris Matthews barely held it together at the start of his remote interview 15 minutes ago. (He's in Paris right now.)
He was the consummate professional-he was one of the best prepared journalists out there, and it showed in his interviews. He worked really hard–this afternoon, he was at his office preparing for Sunday's Meet the Press (about 15 minutes from where I live) when he collapsed.
ברוך אתה ה' א‑לוהינו מלך העולם, דיין האמת
Blessed are you, Lord, our God, King of the Universe, the True Judge.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Russert.
