The Tim Russert death coverage wasn't extensive enough...so someone decided to release this pic of Tim, his son Luke and wife Maureen Orth on their last vacation before Tim went room temperature on us.
Gosh it's sad that Tim Russert is dead. He was a great guy and a top-notch journalist. I can't help but wonder though...how different would the world be if reporters had been as dedicated to covering the Bush administration pre-Iraq as they've been to recounting every last aspect of Russert's prematurely-ended life?
Can the press really claim fourth estate status when it spends more time wallowing in grief over the death of one of its own than covering the government whose excesses it's supposed to be protecting us from? What did Russert live for anyway? Ratings? Ham sandwiches?
