I'm a week late on this.
More than just a talking head, Tim Russert had the intellectual muscle to get the facts and the intellectual accessibility to relate the facts.
His everyday appearance and demeanor helped guys like us get down to the nuts and bolts of any story, empowering not only denizens of Flyover, but all parts of the country.
He was staunch in his faith, yet was not afraid to bring an atheistic and Episcipal bishop on his show to duke it out (respectibly, of course).
We won't see another like him for a long time.
Fifty-eight is too young to die. His wife, Maureen, and son Luke; know this all too well.
Well played, Mr. Russert.
