Mornings on MSNBC won't be the same. He was sometimes a "guest" on "Morning Joe," which I watch nearly every day. Listening to his friends/colleagues... I did learn that he just loved Yogi Berra, and stammered like a kid when he had Yogi on "Meet the Press."

Also, what resonates is that if those who appeared on "Meet the Press" picked up bias, then, they weren't on-air with T. Russert.

He sure did love his family!


Very sad he died - and that he put work before health (as do so many). He had only recently learned that he had an asymptomatic condition and was beginning to work on that - to change things.

Last night I was in tears watching just a few minutes of coverage on Tim Russert. I adored that man. And he was so excited about the political arena this year.

My Sunday morning will never be the same without him in Meet the Press.

We'll miss you Tim Russert. Until we meet again.

I am right there with you all. I was so shocked when I heard the news. So, so sad. I thought he was simply amazing and in hearing the stories after his death, am not surprised that he touched the lives of so many in such a deep, personal way. So many of the memorials have been so touching. I had tears in my eyes non-stop as I watched this morning's news programs. Tom Brokaw hosted "Meet the Press" and couldn't get through the show without breaking down. My heart goes out to his wife, son and "Big Russ".

A few times over the last 2 days I heard this wonderful quote that Tim used to say:

“The best exercise for the human heart is to bend down and pick someone else up.”

R.I.P. Tim Russert -- he will be sorely missed by so many.

I watched Meet The Press with Brokaw this morning as well. I have to admit that I choked up along with Tom Brokaw. Oh heck, I bawled like a little girl several times during the show! I don't recall crying so much since my own dad died when I was 8 years old. He died young from a heart attack, much like Tim Russert. Maybe the parallels struck me. Regardless of that, there were so many tributes to Tim during the day today, that we know he was loved and respected by colleagues and foes alike. And what greater tribute can be bestowed than that?

I was right there with ya Steve, cried like a girl during Meet the Press...and I am a girl.

I tivoed the Today Show this mornign because his son Luke will be on.

Bearygood, I hope you don't mind me taking that quote from Tim Russert from you as my siggy.

I was watching the bunch of different tributes to him on different networks. One of the things he said really resonated with a current situation of ours.

It was about Tim's dad telling him that the world doesn't owe him anything and that he needs to work hard for everything and how Tim tried his very best to instill that unto his son (with some modifications, of course)

looking at Tim's son who turned out quite well. I believe Tim succeeded...

We've been having situations with our kids and we hope our kids will learn that...eventually...

boy, who CAN they find to replace him????
