Tim Russert Dies at 58

Tim Russert, the host of Meet The Press and the Washington bureau chief of NBC died of a heart attack today.

Tim was, in my mind, the most important and best political broadcast journalist in the country, and perhaps the best in my lifetime. I watched him religiously, and as I watch the coverage on MSNBC and his colleagues both report on and eulogize him, I am hugely saddened at the loss.
