Boy, am i gonna ever miss him! I called him “the Great Pumpkin” cause of that big ole’ head he’s got. In a time when media and politics are rife with mediocrity he stood out as an example competance and dedication to exposing the truth. He was a research monster. He was awsome. Why couldn’t it have been some douchebag like O’Reilly instead?

He died working. Sad day indeed.

I saw the Charlie Rose interview with him yesterday. It seems he was not only a great journalist, but a pretty remarkable human being as well. And we seem to be about as short on those as we are on great journalists these days.
