Remembering Tim Russert

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: June 15, 2008

A friend of popes and president…

The one who hosted "Meet the Press"
has met his Maker and I'd guess
that he is wishing he had known
today would be his last
 
Tim Russert would have said goodbye
to those he loved who wonder why
a caring son and most-proud dad
would suddenly be gone.
 
Because he was on NBC,
I thought of Tim like family.
I never met him, but I liked
the way he loved his job.
 
This friend of popes and presidents
claimed faith in Christ and had the sense
to practice what he learned in church
among his friends at work.
 
His politics were left of mine,
but were instructive of our time.
This white-board pundit will be missed
in this election year.
