Heaven Just Got A Little More Tim Russert

We're not very good at this type of thing, but as you probably already know, NBC News correspondent and the host of Meet the Press, Tim Russert, has died at 58. Watching him on television gave me the same sensation i would have when my mom picked me up after school with All Things Considered playing on the radio: a soothing voice of stability in the world. Even for someone who only recreationally follows the news, he stood out as one of the most trust-worthy journalists out there. As this brief televised eulogy from his friend and colleague Tom Brokaw shows, he will be sorely missed:

Goodbye, Tim Russert. You're sticking the angels with the tough questions and jovial punditry now.
