RIP Tim Russert
I know I’m a bit late with my online condolences (family business takes precedence over writing), but we at GlossLip would like to offer our sincere sympathies to the Russert family. No matter one’s political leanings, it is agreed that Tim Russert was truly a titan in the world of broadcasting and, by all accounts, was a wonderful human being.
I’ve never been one for political programs (I’ve jokingly called his program Meet The Depressed), but I do remember a program he did for NBC Nightly News a couple of years ago about his father, Big Russ, and Tim’s decisions concerning his care. The piece came across with true and genuine heart and feeling, and I was left not only thinking about my own parents but about the love and dignity which both father and son shared. That’s what I think about when I think of Tim.

Ironically, Tim had to put Big Russ in a home less than a week before he died. Things were weighing very heavily on Timmy.
