R.I.P. Tim Russert

Wow. Two media deaths in one week.

Tim Russert was about the only guy on mainstream news that I could actually stand. I really liked the man. He could make electoral college actually interesting! He introduced us to the map with the numbers on it and showed all the possible patterns a candidate would have to do to win. Now everyone imitates him. I heard him on Rush several times and he seemed like one of the democrats I could sit down with and have a great discussion with even if we didn't agree. He was real and a charmer. I don't know one person who hated him other than politicians that he nailed to the wall. May God bless his family.
