Tim Russert was a giant among journalists and a giant among people. I wept as I watched Meet the Press last Sunday as they showed Russert's now-empty chair and everyone from Tom Brokaw to Bob Dole choked up when talking about Russert.

There was a fantastic aricle about Russert in the Wall Street Journal today. I commend it to you.

Russert was tough but fair. As the WSJ article points out, he also recognized the bias that exists in the media and the importance of diversity in the media. It was this kind of honesty and integrity that made Tim Russert a beloved figure for both the right and the left.

Godspeed Tim Russert and Go Bills!
