Comments on: Why Tim Russert Was Such A Journalistic Giant http://www.larrykane.com/2008/06/13/why-tim-russert-was-such-a-journalistic-giant/ LarryKane.com Sun, 12 Dec 2010 22:25:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: George http://www.larrykane.com/2008/06/13/why-tim-russert-was-such-a-journalistic-giant/comment-page-1/#comment-8010 George Sat, 14 Jun 2008 01:15:27 +0000 http://www.larrykane.com/?p=569#comment-8010 Pat, respect to you for that apology. I recently wrote on this blog that I'd really be sad if Larry suddenly died, because so often I say nasty cutting things in anger or for my own amusement, but if Larry actually died I'd feel terrible. We all so often forget to live each day as if it were the last. In wathing the coverage of Russert, the one thing that really strikes me is that he will be remembered as a thoughtful reflective son and excellent dad, way more than anything politcal he ever accomplished. The profound irony that he has died on Father's day weekend is so sad and also a wake-up call to all of us fathers and sons about his message and example in this regard. He's much more than a news man. Tim Russert is an outstanding example of what hard working Irish Catholic morality and values can teach all Americans. Pat, respect to you for that apology.
