The worst hangover couldn't keep me away from Russert Sunday mornings. He was the "Meet The Press" I grew-aware with. He always seemed to love every minute of what he was doing. Set loose in the Wonka factory and kicking Oompah-loompah oompah, Russert kept it fair and professional, but couldn't deny the sparkle in his eyes when a politician started to squirm. He was, simply, amazing. --- And Tom Brokaw announcing his passing? Tears, sweetie, tears. Always nice to find others who enjoyed the show-of-shows as well. :D Bummed, indeed.

It just made me so sad, for some reason.
