I just saw on yahoo that one of my favorite newsmen Tim Russert Or Tim Russit as I called him has passed away. Life is so crazy. I have loved Tim Russit for years! But after last week’s Meet the Press (the show Tim hosts) I was about to write a blog post about how upset I was with him. (He was marking the territories for McCain and Obama for November and I was upset cause I said it was too soon for all that. LOL. I was going to criticize the man for once and now he’s gone. How silly do I feel?!?!?
But Tim was great. Always fair and impartial in his interviews. And of course his favorite thing was trying to get people to announce that they were going to run for office when they went on his show. Once Charles Barkley was on and he asked Charles if he would say he would run for governor of Alabama.
I think the thing that I liked most was his big smile and his love of football. Tim was actually from Buffalo (yeah, upstate new york) and loved the Buffalo Bills. Go Bills he would say.
LOL. I know you all think I’m crazy for writing about this man as if I knew him. But I did spend at least part of my Sundays watching him on Meet the Press.
Sooo sad. And he was so young too. Ay ay ay. You just never know.
