In Memoriam: Tim Russert
I am shocked and saddened to learn of the death of NBC's Tim Russert from a sudden heart attack.
He was a real pro, and a class act. I will miss him very much.
Rest in peace, and thank you for your years of journalism.
UPDATE: There's a Jossip story about Russert that goes like this: Russert and David Gregory were out dining in a Washington DC eatery one day when the waitress got their order wrong. Gregory proceeded to heap abuse upon her. Russert, according to Jossip's witness, clenched his teeth and warned Gregory "never behave like that in front of me again."
UPDATE II: Remember the question about illegal immigrants and drivers licenses? Turns out the Hildebeests are still pissed at him.
UPDATE III: Andrea Mitchell's moving on-air tribute.
