Tim Russert


Beacon of journalistic talent and integrity (and fellow son of Buffalo, NY) Tim Russert died today at 58.

This, I believe, is an official harbinger of the end times of broadcast journalism. He was one of the last ones left, y'know? I never thought I'd feel this emotional about this sort of thing, but well...there ya go.

He was my parents' age. I never met him, but I always looked to him as a role model.

Tim, you'll be sorely missed.
