RIP Tim Russert

Died of a heart attack today. Only 58.

Very sad. I used to see this guy all the time in DC, mainly at Wizards games. Great guy. They don't make 'em like Russert and Bob Schieffer anymore. Sunday mornings won't be the same.

I can't believe it! I'm in complete shock.

I'm really shocked...I was watching him just a few days ago on MSNBC. RIP.

Yea I just heard the breaking news. So very sad! May God be with his family and loved ones in their time of need.

OMG! How awful and sad. RIP.

I just saw this in the news. Very sad. He spoke at my commencement in 2000.

Whether you agreed with his methods or not, he was a straight shooter and no fluff and spin.

Wow I can't believe it, what a shame

Wow that's unbelievable. I was watching him last week as well with my dad. What a shock. RIP Tim Russert.

I was watching MSNBC when the news broke, and Tom Brokaw was getting pretty choked up. They all are. David Gregory, Brian Williams, Andrea Mitchell... all visibly shaken. His office on Nebraska Avenue is only about a mile and half from the house where I grew up. Like Russert, I'm a Jesuit educated Catholic sports nut with roots in upstate New York, and for those reasons I've always found it very easy to relate to him. I have so much respect for his journalism and all who he was a man. This is really ashame.
