Via Cone, NBC’s Tim Russert dies.

I’m honestly not meaning this to be glib, but this week I’ve been critical of Russert in political conversations with friends. I happened to flip over to MSNBC the night Obama clinched the nomination and saw Russert, Chris Mathews and Keith Olbermann making absolutely no effort to contain their glee.

So Russert’s been on my mind lately and now I hear he’s dead. Life is strange like that. I enjoyed listening to the radio broadcast of ‘Meet the Press’ because you could really concentrate on the content of the exchange between Russert and his guest. Rest in peace.
