I share your grief. He was respected on both sides of the political aisle and that says something. Smart is sexy…and so is humble/loving/respectful. I keep thinking how much Russert probably wanted to know the outcome of this election, especially. And now he won’t. Just so incredibly sad.

I felt the same way.

And as a native Western New Yorker, whose parents both hail from Buffalo, it hit closer to home. He was my father’s age, had my father lived past 54. I can only hope the two of them are up there together, two good Catholics and die-hard Bills fans.

Not to mention, Dems.

Here’s hoping they put the good word in for Obama.

I’ve also been very emotional about it (and Nate has also made fun of me for it, but a little less than usual).

I keep thinking of Mrs. Chicky’s Tweet:”You know he’s just so pissed that it happened during an election year.” RIP Tim.

I get this post. Sometimes we develop an attachment to people we really admire and life just seems smaller without them. The day Lloyd Robertson – an ancient Canadian news anchor I have been watching my whole life – dies I will be a mess.

I felt this way about Peter Jennings.

Go Bills, indeed.

Are you kidding me? I’ve been melancholy all weekend. Last night I watched Meet the Press by myself in TEARS. And today I am still bummed. This really sucks and election day won’t be what it used to be.

This echoes my own reaction, although after a good cry I let out a childish damnation for the relentless Clinton/Obama campaign coverage.

W and I had just returned from a late lunch, had parked the car, when Tom Brokaw came on CNBC radio. I was and remain devastated.

His legacy is a standard of news reporting and of interviewing that is respectful to both the interviewee and the audience.
