The most even handed NBC journalist, Tim Russert, died today of a heart attack at age 58. My cell rang while I was shopping, to hear the voice of a co-worker (my favorite liberal) telling me that Russert had passed. It was one of those moments when one stops to remember an individual who set a particular standard of excellence – and that is the essence of Russert. NBC has lost the only fair-minded guy on the team – he was a joy to watch - needling both left and right during any given debate or commentary he will be sadly missed.
