Or if you go here and scroll down, the video podcast is there.
So so sad. I really liked and respected Tim Russert.
(so is your user name, on a completely different topic.)
I can't believe this, really. No matter how often I disagreed with him, I still feel awful about this.
58..far too young.
:(
Still can't believe he's gone.
The last photo is heartbreaking.
And the one of Carville and Matalin is moving as well.
I saw most of the show this morning..I was so sad.
The person who hosts the channel seems to imply that there are 6 clips in all, but I can only locate parts 1-3.
Anyway, here they are. Will post the rest if they show up.
RIP dude, you were my guide through the primaries.
It's sad that he died but I just don't think it's right that people are making him out to be something he wasn't.
