I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm gonna miss Tim Russert.
I started watching him on Meet The Press when I moved to Saudi. With little to do in the mornings and with the availability of american news feeds on one of the TV channels, I watched Tim tackle one politician (and sometimes non-politician) after another.
He was fun to watch. Very straight forward, to the point. He explained a lot of things to me. I may not agree with him all the time, but I appreciate his perspective.
The american presidential election is going to be less fun without him.
