For years, one of this TV Addict’s Sunday morning traditions has involved a cup of coffee and MEET THE PRESS. So it’s with great sadness and sorrow that I write the following words: This afternoon, Tim Russert died of an apparent heart attack.
Russert made politics both accessible and interesting. Never skirting the important issues of the day or shying away from the tough questions. 58 was far too young. Sundays will never be the same.
