CSI: Russert

He died a quick painless sudden death, never knew what hit him, o lucky man. 58 is young, but anyone who makes it past 50 is lucky in this post modern world. We lived well, he died well. RIP, Tim. Funny, I always thought he was Jewish, until I read the obits today. Catholic through and through. Just goes to show, us Jews and them Catholics are made of the same DNA.

meant to say in Japanese they call this POKKURI death, death by popping off.

It is kinda creepy when you think about McAuliffe's appearance was just a couple of weeks ago. Then again, McAuliffe has no conscience or sense of shame. Also, why wasn't there this much outpouring for Peter Jennings? He was a much better journalist.

Perhaps because Peter Jennings had a battle with cancer and passed away, whereas Tim Russert collapsed at work. Both are tragic deaths of prominent journalists, one left a family without the ability to say goodbye.

Sometimes, I'm shocked by the crassness of the blogosphere. Then I remind myself that it's simply a reflection of U.S. society.

After watching Mr Welch the prior CEO of GE last night I can only surmise one thing. Welch worked the poor guy to death. Many many reports are coming out of Russert working into the wee hours and going home and then showing up at work before anyone else the next day There is no doubt he missed his family as that was the center of his conversation when not reporting or interviewing some Politician. That there is the clue...not enough time home and too much time at work. There has to be a balance with eating right enough sleep so your body can rest properly. All of Americas large corporations make up the competing landscape....you have to make a choice of your Job or your family and personal life. For some reason...I found Tim's reporting exceptional. We hope you did too! God Bless you Tim...you died a very young man way before your time.
