Tim Russert Dies
I just heard a report that Tim Russert died of a heart attack. Absolutely insane, and incredibly sad.
ETA: here's the link http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25145431/

I just heard that too.  This election won't be the same without him.
RIP and God bless.

Was just coming to say this. I had just left NBC studios before he collapsed. Crazy.

NBC's Tim Russert dead at 58
He was the Washington bureau chief and moderator of ‘Meet the Press’

I just saw Tom Brockle (sp?) on TV-such a shocking lost of a young newsman.
RIP-Sunday Mornings will not be the same.

His son just graduated from Boston College this year; I can't imagine losing a father, especially at that age.

I know you wouldn't. I'll admit I should have chosen better words...misprint definitely describes it better.
To echo Honeykiss, yes, the Elections just won't be the same.

The thought just crossed my mind that Heaven got a little better for my mom today. She watched Meet the Press religiously too and really liked his style. She can talk to him first hand now.

I'm so stunned. I wake up early on Sunday morning just to watch Meet the Press. If I couldn't watch due to church, I would tape it. Tim Russert was always neutral and I'm really going to miss his commentary.

Definitely - whether you agreed or not with his interview style, his "Meet the Press" segments with the candidates during primary season were a must-watch. He was one of the reasons I went to journalism school (back when I wanted to be a journalist).
