Tim Russert's Rainbow?

Posted by: Carol Platt Liebau at 10:03 PM

Only after seeing "Meet the Press" today did I learn that a beautiful rainbow lit the D.C. sky last Wednesday, moments after the memorial service for Tim Russert. Here is a picture.

Rainbows in the capitol are rare -- I don't remember ever seeing one in the years I lived there.

According to the Old Testament of the Bible, rainbows are a sign of God's love, and the witness of His promise. It's hard for me to believe that it was just coincidence that one appeared the day Washington paused and put aside the things of this world, gathering together in sincere love and deep grief to honor a man whose life had been guided by abiding faith.

NBC has really gone downhill and MSNBC, that is just so out there. I can't believe they are still on the air. I do hope the rumors are not true about Matthews taking over. That is just the complete end.

NBC has been going down hill for a very long time. The only bright light in it's decay was MTP. RIP Tim.

I agree. I hadn't seen the first post until I read your reference on a more recent blog post. Crass is the only word I can come up with, but that doesn't seem sufficient.

Tim Russert
I grew up on NBC and over the last few years have watched this station decline. I thought the best part of the channel was Tim Russert. He will be missed and I thought the rainbow was great. They had the picture up yesterday many times.

Very Cool
And, I do believe in relating things happening with small miracles or signs.

This was a very nice blog post. Very uplifting. Too bad it got smeared by one of the commenters. I'm completely dumbfounded with the 11:51. I suggest getting in line with Chris Matthews and fighting for control of the truck to back up and dump on a load on Russert's grave. That aside, I got on to mention that I heard that as observers left the memorial service the song that was played on MTP today (contemporary version of "Over the Rainbow") was played that day. If that's true, talk about great timing and a great choice for a song. Thanks for taking the time to post this.
