Tim Russert died Friday of an apparent heart attack.To say he will be missed is inadequate, because his absence leaves a huge gaping hole that seems like it could never be filled.

Most today are more interested in gotcha games than the kind of probing analysis Russert was known for.

He was two things that most Washington journalists are not: tough and fair.
Rest in peace Tim Russert.
