I almost made the mistake of posting this in another thread.

For us so-called 'political junkies,' "Meet the Press" is standard fare on Sunday mornings. Regardless of who was on, Tim Russert could be counted on to give a direct and information-laden grilling with past quotes and sometimes videos to bring home the points.

As the press gets softer and softer, and overchurn and overbalance rather than ask the hard questions and follow them up as needed, Tim Russert on the television side will be sorely missed.

I miss him already ...
