I cannot believe Tim Russert has passed away. Although I am not huge into politics, if I came across a debate he was involved in I always watched and admired his intelligence!! He was an incredible man and I will miss hearing his opinions and outlook on politics.
I’m sorry. I was so taken aback that I forgot to say a few things. I wanted to offer my condolences to his family and friends. May you rest in peace Mr. Russert. You were a wonderful man!
