Twitter has been abuzz with the passing of Tim Russert. Christina Warren said it well.

"Russert was one of the last journalists from the Murrow/Cronkite school of journalism; he didn’t masquerade opinion as news and he didn’t let his personal politics obscure his ability to interview or go after the truth in a story. He was a gentleman, a family man and a comforting voice. He was also hella smart as a political analyst. He was able to identify the key states needed for electoral victory in 2000 and 2004, and I’m sure his 2008 predictions will be spot-on as well."

My sunday morning's will not be the same. I had the pleasure of meeting Russert once when he worked for Senator Moynihan. He was real "mensch". Rest in peace Mr. Russert and condolences to your family and colleagues.
