NBC's Tim Russert Dead at 58
Nothing I could say would do the man justice. I cannot imagine a journalist who didn't respect and admire him. He was someone you could rely upon to hold people accountable, to be an honest broker, and to tell the truth to the best of his considerable understanding.
The political coverage during this election year will be the poorer without him, and he will be sorely missed for many years to come.
He's gone far too soon.
