Though I had little respect for the man as a journalist, I still respect the man as a fellow human. Tis a shame. Condolences aplenty.

There isn’t a better journalist. From everything on MSNBC right, he seems like he was a genuinely good man. The loss and the hole he leaves behind is large.

I, too, had issues with the way he covered the 2000 Election and this Administration; however, now is not the time to rehash that. Let us all send prayers of condolence to his family.
