Prometheus 6

...Sunday mornings, as well as political coverage in general, will not be the same.

I'm sure 'Meet The Press' will go on, but those will be some big shoes to fill.

 (...Gwen Ifill maybe?)

Gwen Ifil gets my vote. Though, it's hard to imagine political coverage w/out Tim Russert.

On a more consolatory tone, this must be really hard for his family. They'll be in my prayers.

Ms. Ifill can hang. Her Washington Week PBS show is proof. But if they don't promote from within to fill Russert's spot, I'll be shocked.

Big Russ and Luke. WHen I could get over the shock of seeing Brokaw on the tv in the middle of the afternoon. And, it's Father's Day too. Irony is a cruel bitch more often than not.

Last funny Russert moment was watching him, post Indiana/NC, with that white board and his eraseable pen, explaining to the Nightly News audience about pledged delegates and how Obama had them and Clinton could never catch him. The profound seriousness of his tone cracked me up.
