This report by Tom Brokaw brings sad news. I am surprised by how much I am touched by Tim Russert's death. I don't know, he seemed like a good journalist, who sometimes grilled people hard, but was fair. He has a nice smile as well. Make sure to check out some of the other stories after this one, particularly the one where he talks about his son. The interviews with Cokie Roberts and James Carville are good too. Evidently he was a devout Catholic, which makes me happy too.

Very rarely do you see people with civility in public discourse. Tim Russert seemed to be such a person. There was a sense of truth-seeking in even his harsh questioning. He seemed to be humble and and concerned about this country as opposed to being agenda-driven. It is hard to explain the sadness I feel as I did not know him at all. It seems someone is gone who added something pleasant and earnest to a largely unpleasing political sphere (sp?).
