In the midst of the Iowa floods and more bad news on mortgages, NBC News devoted its entire 30 minute broadcast Friday night to Tim's death. Somehow, I'd like to think he would not have approved.

Russert was a modest enough of a man that I think you are correct that he wouldn't of approved. But on the other hand I think it was important for NBC staff and longtime viewers to have that opportunity to reflect on his loss.

He was a model of what a father, human being, and journalist should be like. A coincidence that this happened over Father's Day weekend, because it gave me a chance to reflect on things and my own father and our relationship. I nearly shed some tears.
