I am, as so many others, a Tim Russert fan. Always tough, always fair, always quick to remind us its the issues that matter, not the rhetoric, not the mud slinging, not the anger and disappointment that accompanies every election year. He was the voice of reason when things got crazy. and the first to get to the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I cannot imagine what its going to be like without him. He made politics palatable.
