By admin - Posted on June 16th, 2008
June 13, 2008 -- HYANNIS PORT, MA— U.S. Senator Edward M. Kennedy released the following statement in reaction to the passing of NBC New Bureau Chief Tim Russert:
“Tim Russert was a gentleman and giant, not just in politics and journalism, but in life. And through that life, he gave us all a model worth emulating. With a reasoned voice, a sharp mind and a fair hand, Tim took the measure of every Washington official and all those that sought to be one.
He was a great journalist and an even better friend. His passing is a tragic loss for us all, but especially for the family he loved so much. Our thoughts and prayers are with Tim's wife Maureen and his son Luke.”
