 This is sad. I really liked him. He was a great example of someone from Buffalo that made it big. He was alway proud of being from here and spoke well of his hometown often.

It's also scary that he's the same age as my mom and dad.

True story, last night I was sharing a few dozen JD's with a journalism friend (I was sloched beyond belief) and we got to talking about Tim Russert. He's a big fan and I used to be one, but I found in recent years he had lost his bite, giving some especially lame interviews to members of the Bush administration. Softball questions and he seemed more interested in adding to his side project devoted to important figures and stories about their fathers.
At one point my friend turns to me and says, "You're really drunk, man." and I yelled back, "I'm not drunk, I just hate Tim Russert."
I didn't kill the poor guy, did I? I swear I didn't hate you, man.

Tom Brokaw giving the obit on NBC. In Tom's great career, this might have been the toughest thing he ever had to do.

I haven't cried like this over a celebrity/public figure dying in a long time. I have to stop watching the videos.

I suppose I don't know this fellow. He seems awfully young and leaving behind some young ones is never a good thing.
