Tim Russert

The priest at the church I attend mentioned the passing of Tim Russert, the host of NBC's "Meet the Press," who passed away at age 58 the other day. I was going to write something up about this a couple of days ago, but Mr. D summed up why anyone who pays attention to politics and media will miss him.

UPDATE: Here's another tribute to Russert from The Stencil, whose author is from the Buffalo area like Russert.
