Even God must want political analysis.

In memory of Managing Editor and Moderator (and unofficial voice of reason) of NBC's Meet the Press Tim Russert.

Sunday morning political discourse is changed forever. Your silence will be deafening. We would have missed you no matter what, but losing you will hit us particularly hard in a presidential election year. Tim Russert, you were one of the good guys. My husband and I both will miss your laser-like insights, keen man-in-the-street-perspective, and earthy wit.
