Village Idiot: Tim Russert, RTV

My dad will be buried in Arlington Cemetery on July 23 at 1 p.m. with military honors. He died a few months ago at the age of 89 after serving 33 years in the U.S. Navy and then 20 years as a high school physics teacher. No celebrities will attend his funeral. It won't get a week's worth of coverage on national television. I can't tell you how disgusted I was by the TV coverage of Tim Russert's death.
