Fakta

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Russert, who was also the Washington bureau chief for NBC, died after suffering a sudden coronary thrombosis. He was pronounced dead at Sibley Memorial Hospital. He was 84. He had struggled with his weight and was looking tired, but his many friends had been worrying about the stress he was under.

#2 Tim was adored in that unmistakable vintage of Washington adored that incorporated fear and need and sucking up. You needed to be friends with Tim, the closer the better, as many people advertised with deft turns of posthumous networking.

#3 Tim Russert was a principal in the celebrity-industrial complex, and he was especially attuned to the cultural erogenous zones of powerful men. He spoke endlessly about dads and sons, sports, and Springsteen. He gave on-air shout-outs to Joe DiMaggio, who never missed a Meet the Press.

#4 In Washington, the spotlight was on Tim Russert, the leading balloon lost, as everyone ostentatiously deflated. Obama and McCain sat together at the request of the Russert family, who wanted the event to provide a spectacle of unity.
