Tim Russert, NBC journalist and political heavyweight host of "Meet the Press," has died after collapsing at NBC's Washington news bureau, a source said. He was 58 years old.

Very sad. He was one of the better network news people and one of the few I could watch for an extended period. Prayers for Tim and his family.

I know :(

Makes you wonder if Obama wants to rethink those town hall’s with McCain now...

The good die young. Tim was GOOD and the GIANT of journalism.

He set the standard and will never be matched.

That was a great interview. I do appreciate you posting it.

[Paul Heinzman]

Rest in peace, Mr. Russert. Prayers for the family.

What the left is saying:

“Remember, Russert testified under oath that he gave the White House favorable treatment
so he could continue to get exclusive access to the bloody war-mongering bastards.

How can he claim to be a “good Catholic” and sell a crooked war that’s killed 4100 soldiers
just so he could add another million dollars to his already-bloated bank account?

Tim, good thing there’s no Hell because you’d be going.”

Perhaps they’ll bring in someone more objective than Mr Potatohead, like Howard Dean??

Pray for W and Our Troops

I admit, I have my days...not now that the kids are out of school and I don’t get more than ten consecutive minutes of peace, but still...

Prayers and Condolences to Tim's Family.

Every time I see Rush on the Ditto Cam looking like he is having a hard time breathing.. I'm Concerned.

[processing please hold]

Thank you. For some strange reason I thought it might have been aids.

Tom Brokaw was talking about Tim’s testimony and pretty much said he was NOT totally open.

[Yaelle]

Apparently Tim once hosted for Rush.

[Paved Paradise]

You know, I did think of that as well. It is entirely possible that a clot broke loose. I don’t think it is a coincidence that he just got home from Italy, but irregardless, the end result is the same, that man died at a very young age.

Fill me in... it got pulled.

I thought that too the first time I saw Olbermann do one of his spittle-flecked rants. I thought he was going to have a stroke or a breakdown. Then I saw him do the same thing a few days later, and after that I realized he does the same thing every time he has a “special comment”. He looks like he's about to stroke out, but it's just an act for the kos crowd. He turns it on and off like a faucet. His deranged rants are a complete and total fraud, just like everything else he does. He's just a failed sportscaster putting on an act for a paycheck, as if he was in a soap opera. The blame lies with NBC for giving him a job and pretending he's a “reporter”.

Isn’t Roger Mudd still alive?

[Borges]

Same as 468 except a lot more.

[Borges]

He’s 80.
