Such a sad day today that journalism lost one of its brightest stars in Tim Russert. What a wonderful journalist and human being. Senator McCain released the following statement…
ARLINGTON, VA — U.S. Senator John McCain today issued the following statement on the sudden and tragic passing of Tim Russert:
“I am very saddened by Tim Russert’s sudden death. Cindy and I extend our thoughts and prayers to the Russert family as they cope with this shocking loss and remember the life and legacy of a loving father, husband and the preeminent political journalist of his generation. He was truly a great American who loved his family, his friends, his Buffalo Bills, and everything about politics and America. He was just a terrific guy. I was proud to call him a friend, and in the coming days, we will pay tribute to a life whose contributions to us all will long endure.”
Here is video of a delightful interview Tim Russert did with Roberta McCain.

A man whose love for politics was surpassed only by his love for his professional football team, something I always appreciated.

Very sad. An amazing interviewer. An amazing talent to explain complex issues to the common person. Will be sorely missed.
Although I am a Patriots season ticket holder, I am originally from Buffalo. For Mr Russert…..Go Bills.
