Tim Russert Dead at 58

I'm so sad to hear about Tim Russert. He made politics interesting and easy to understand. Whenever he was on TV I would stop and listen. The man had such a level head and I always marveled at how well he stayed in the middle politically regardless of who he was interviewing. He just had so much common sense.

I will miss watching him on Meet the Press on Sundays. My Sunday morning coffee won't be the same without him in the background explaining what was happening in the political world. I'm not exactly savvy in that arena, but with Russert I actually felt like I understood more of what was going on.

Not to mention that this is the most interesting political year in decades. Very sad that he doesn't get to see it play out.
