If, like our Mr Bridge, you’re a fan of the late Mr Russert, you might be interested in WAMU’s live coverage of his funeral service today at the Kennedy Center. If you’re one of the 8 people in the country with an HD radio you can turn into HD-3 on 88.5 FM. If you’re one of the rest of us, WAMU streams all three stations online and you can find links here. The funeral service will be at 4pm this afternoon.

This is such a heartbreaking time for journalism. I went to the wake Tuesday. It took close to two hours to make your way from the cathedral grounds into the school building. It was amazing to see so many different people of all backgrounds come together to pay their respects to Russert. Luke was there accepting condolences- standing tall and so proud. It was an honor to meet him.
Now that the funeral is over NBC plans to name an interim moderator. I think Andrea Mitchell would be a good fit.
