Tim Russert Rainbow
At the Tim Russesrt memorial service in Washington, D.C., the song Somewhere Over the Rainbow was played, and then appearing in the sky was an unusual rainbow in the sky. Tim was watching.
Maureen Orth, Tim’s widow, talked about the day in Italy when Tim was about to leave his wife and son to return to Washington, D.C., so he could tape that Sunday’s Meet the Press, she turned to him and said:
"I said to him, ’I want to give you a hug, maybe I’ll never see you again.’ I don’t know why I said that to him. I just had a feeling."
On the morning of the day he died, Maureen recalled, Russert took a chunk of time off from work to go to his son’s new apartment in D.C. and wait for the cable man. "He could have hired someone to do it, but that wasn’t Tim."
Tom Brokaw said about Tim:
"Family and faith, were the foundations of his life."
Rest in peace Tim Russert.

I think it’s very eeary and yet comforting that the rainbow appeared as the song “Over the Rainbow” was being played. Who really knows how things work, meaning God, life, etc. We’ll only truly know when our day is done, for good.
…it seems to me that Tim can still seem to spark controversy/debate even in death – not too shabby i must say…
I can just here Tim…please God…I’m so touched that so many people miss me..can’t I just do something to show I can see them? Oh course God, knowing most of us will say “it was only a coincidence” said okay, “let there be a double rainbow”, knowing that the few of us with faith would understand it’s true meaning. Thank you God, for comforting his family in there time of sorrow.
Steve – you are a very sad person. And, it’s not about “comfort” it’s about life, faith and the signs that God gives to us. To each is own and interpret it the way you want but “stupid” it is not – although you may be and that is sad.
No, you are stupid! Wake up and realize there ARE no coincidences! And it has NOTHING to do with being religious. Jeez….
look, I’m not too regelious either but give these people a break. If they need that for comfort, it’s fine.
Um, rainbows are a fairly understood phenomenon. Tim Russert is dead – he didn’t create a rainbow.
Enjoy the coincidence all you want, but to say Tim Russert was watching – well, that’s just stupid. No offense.
