Incredibly Sad.

I hate to say it, but now NBC has even less credibility.

[Clara Lou]

Ah, death is sad, sudden death is just terrible. Condolences to his family.

[Doomonyou]

Brutal.

RIP.

May the God of All Comfort hold close Mr. Russert’s family and friends ~

[4yearlurker]

Although I haven’t watched him for years,he wasn't a giddy Lib like Chrissy Mathews. I feel for his son loosing his dad so close to Fathers Day.

Rip Mr. Russert.

[Reagan Man]

RIP, Tim Russert

[Democrats hate too much]

This is sad news... One, I feel for his friends and family. Two, if you are one of those people who thinks Hillary has a chance in getting back in this thing then you know this is bad news. Many people always felt that Tim Russert was ready to take on the Clintons if he had too... He knew about the Juanita Broaddrick story (actually watched the 5 hour interview) and told people later that he felt like he was going to throw up. During debates he brought up the Clinton Library and questioned the bizarre pardons made by Bill Clinton in front of a national audience... Early in the election during a Clinton campaign conference call with several journalist on the call, a Clinton surrogate made sure to say that Russet should be shot... Basically, the Clintons always knew that Russert would be a problem for them.

Oh my gosh! Too young. :-(

Condolences to his family.

Clearly Bush’s fault.

[peggybac]

I noticed MSNBC and CNBC have regularly scheduled programming. Geesh.

RIP, Tim.

This is tragic...awful.

The Lord’s compassion to his family.

I always thought he looked like he had very high blood pressure.

There were times when Russert approached fair and balanced.

[mockingbyrd]

Seems so wrong, just before Father’s Day. My heart breaks for his family...including his father. No parent should have to bury their child.

[BunnySlippers]

So very, very sad.
I, for one, will miss him.

Prayers.

[jersey117]

Very sad. Friday the 13th no less.

[cardinal4]

Damn, Im real sorry to hear this. He was WAY too young. Prayers from our family to the Russerts..

I asked this question in the other thread, but it’s now closed. Did the building have an AED? I ask this only because it’s becoming more and more common for places with a large number of people to have them. They don’t always work, but they’re far more effective in terms of survival than just CPR and waiting for an ambulance.

Re the flight from Italy,

That, unfortunately, may give us a clue as to why this happened to such a young man. Sitting on long flights can lead to blood clots in the legs.

I'd bet you're probably right. Shades of David Bloom.

Wait, first there were 3 threads, one with over a hundred replies. Now, there’s only one thread, with about 40 replies. Why?

[SaveTheChief]

How terrible. He was far too young to die. Prayers...
