In Memorium: A News Legend, An American Icon.
Friday, June 20th, 2008
Tim Russert was a man of intellect and objectivity, and he made it his goal in life to make sure that the American people heard the truth. I don’t think there is a soul out there who would argue that he didn’t succeed.
I cannot imagine a presidential election without him. I remember Tim back in the 2000 presidential election. It was about 1 a.m. as I recall when he took out his trademark white board and began to break down the numbers. With all the fancy maps and electronic equipment available, he was able to expain the situation best with nothing more than a marker and white board.
Our hearts go out to the family and friends of Tim Russert. Although, Tim was the kind of public figure you felt was your friend, even though you never really met him.
Rest in Peace, Tim. You will be truly missed.
Timothy J. Russert
