    He will be profoundly missed

    Well, always a couple of weird omments sift in here, as seen above.

    Here is the reality - Russert was the best overall political journalist in the United States, and probably the most respected. His loss is profound - to his family, his news family, and his country.

    Prayers and blessings for all those whose lives he touched.
