I realize he is not a family member, but when I got the "twitter" at 3 pm on Friday, June 13th, that he had died of a heart attack, I was nearly unable to contain myself with the grief I felt. I see Chuck Todd as the logical replacement to the wisdom and dedication that Tim Russert had for his role at NBC. I know most people won't realize this, but THIS BLOG WILL! Chuck Todd will bring the same care and honesty that Tim brought to the Meet the Press chair. I am still so heartbroken (and I can't explain it to most of my friends and family) about Tim Russert, but I just felt I had to comment to you all here, who love Chuck Todd as well (and there isn't a bunch of us either, I suppose!) But we know who we are!!<BR/>Sandi Lincoln<BR/>American Red Cross Volunteer<BR/>Century 21 REALTOR<BR/>USASandi from Iowanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814438868094750241.post-7968866827565563312008-06-20T10:46:00.000-07:002008-06-20T10:46:00.000-07:00It is truly, truly despicable that NY Post is outright *lying* about Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann are chompin' at the bit to replace the irreplaceable Russert and now Perez Hilton (that slimy fatass!) is now spreading the lies.NTV/NAT Group, Ltd.http://www.ntvnat.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814438868094750241.post-72084421762776958372008-06-19T12:39:00.000-07:002008-06-19T12:39:00.000-07:00Thanks for posting this. I had been wondering how he was doing and I think your words to him perfectly summed up what I would have loved to have conveyed too. Thanks again.<BR/><BR/>Edited to add:<BR/>I thought everyone might be interested in seeing pictures of the "Russert rainbow" that appeared immediately after his memorial service. You can find them here:<BR/><A HREF="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlDC/in_memoriam/double_rainbows_for_russert_87514.asp" REL="nofollow">Russert rainbow</A><BR/>It's worth clicking through to the links, as there are several more pictures and some background info.EBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18208666789776426781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814438868094750241.post-87165508011931924542008-06-18T17:52:00.000-07:002008-06-18T17:52:00.000-07:00I feel so bad. I never really knew how much Tim Russert meant to so many people. I feel bad for The Chuck. He was so deeply touched by TR, the pain he must feel must be so enormous. I still cry when I watch the coverage and the rememberances.amaduciashttp://amaducias.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.com
