A Journalism Legend
I include myself as one of millions who tuned in each week to watch Tim Russert. He was one of the most well-respected, influential political journalist of his time. Described at once as tough and objective, kind and personable, Russert epitomized journalistic integrity throughout his career, which includes 17 years as host of "Meet the Press." Russert was a man of faith, devoted to his family and his profession. He was also a patriot. And one of the highest compliments to Russert is that he was determined in seeking accountability from public officials - a great service to his country. Tim Russert will be sorely missed.

Absolutely. What a tragic loss for our society and for journalism.
I was going to post a blog entry dedicated to good old Timmy, but decided not to when it was frankly too late to be meaningful. :)
Sunday mornings just will not be the same.
