Tim Russert

I'm a political junkie who relentlessly watches the talking heads, especially during this year's election.  I live for watching the "Round Tables" on all three of the Sunday morning shows.  Whenever Russert did a single guest, I was disappointed I wouldn't get to see him hold forth and direct a collection of his colleagues.  The best.  It's hard to accept that he's gone.  When I heard the news today, it felt like a good friend had just passed away.
