RIP Tim Russert

I was really bummed to find out that Tim Russert of Meet The Press died suddenly today. Russert was literally the only mainstream TV journalist I had any respect for. He always asked tough (enough) questions and you could tell he was genuinely enthusiastic about what he was doing. Covering the election the guy looked like a kid in a goddamn candy store. I've been watching Meet The Press since I became interested in politics and they were pretty good about not skewing the news one way or the other. There is no one at NBC that will even come close to being an adequate replacement for the guy. Possibly the final nail in the coffin of any decent network journalist integrity. RIP.
