Good Night Mr. Russert

Tim Russert died today at the age of 58. I’m incredibly shocked and saddened by this, more than I can ever recall for the death of a television personality or reporter alike. Tim Russert brought a level of trust and integrity to political journalism that is sorely absent in today’s highly polarized partisan landscape. Going into a landmark presidential election season makes it even more difficult. It’s hard to image watching election night totals roll in without Tim’s constant presence and analysis. My prayers go out to his friends and family. Watching MSNBC right now, and seeing the responses of his friends and coworkers, it’s clear this man will be missed by all. I can only say good night sir, and thank you for your balance and professionalism.
