A huge loss
I was shocked to find out about Tim Russert’s sudden death today, Friday the 13th. I am really stunned, as I’m sure everyone else is, as well. On my new Ipod, I have recently loved watching Meet the Press podcasts, but my clearest memory of Tim was in the 2000 Presidential Election. I had a world history test the very next morning (as I was a senior in high school,) but instead of studying, I stayed up all night and watch Tim and his Magic Slate. I think I even popped in a video and recorded parts of the broadcast. The Magic Slate later went on to the Smithsonian and someday I’ll get there and pay tribute to my very favorite political junkie. We have lost a fantastic soul.
