I will miss Tim Russert. There was a decency and fairness about him. I had the sense that he was a real person whom I would respect, if not like, if ever we were to meet.

The news of Tim Russert’s untimely death is truly devastating. He was a giant in the news and information industry to whom so many looked for honesty and clarity. Sunday mornings will never be the same. Tim Russert was not only the best at what he did, he was irreplaceable.
My deepest sympathies to his family.
