Meet The Press....

Hearing the news today about Tim Russert really caught me off guard. He is one of the few guys I really liked on TV news. It caught me in the same way that it did when Princess Diana and John Denver died... too sudden... too young. Such a likeable, regular guy. Sad news...

Russert was one of those few personalities that you just knew you'd like if he were actually your friend or colleague.... a regular guy. This was reinforced by all the tributes I heard tonight by numerous newsfolk. He seemed like the real deal. Everyone liked the guy.
