    I'll missed him terribly from having him moderating Meet The Press on Sunday morning. RIP.
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    He earned our trust.

    His passing is our loss. If you haven't read his books, they are good reads.
