Tim Russert
 

Apparently died of a heart attack.

RIP

I really liked him on Sunday Mornings.
He would get his staff to bring up past
statements etc... and really grill politicians.
Always well prepared, and excellent followup
questions on the fly.

Shocking to say the least.


RIP Mr. Russert

Wow. Very sad. I too, also enjoyed his work a great deal. He definitely appeared to love politics and the regular soap opera that is Washington.

RIP - Go Bills

R.I.P. :(


I've always admired his work.. and honorable and truly nice man.

Terrible News: Tim Russert Dead at 58
 

Tim Russert died this afternnon at the age of 58 of an apparent heart attack. It's a shame. He seemed like such a good guy. I think he did a great job. He was one of my favorites.

I think in his honor I will go buy his book about his life and his dad Big Russ.

I as well always enjoyed his work, especially when I was able to watch him on Sunday mornings. You could see his love of what he did in his eyes when he spoke and listened.

Wow. One of the few newsmen I still respected. This was his season too. R.I.P. Tim Russert.

He was absolutely one of the best in the business. I will miss watching him.

He'll be missed during the Election coverage this year. He never let his opinion get in his way of good sound reporting, questioning and investigating. A shame.

So true.

May he live forever in the land of Beulah.

So Tragic.......
 

:( He was such an outstanding journalist, wonderful interviewer, best selling author, just great. To me he gave you the impression of a guy you'd like to hang out with, also seemed to be a great family man. Sad, sad loss. Was so looking forward to his contributions to the upcoming election coverage. RIP, condolences to his wife and son Luke.

Very sad...

I'll miss his whiteboard and marker...

RIP

That's a shame.

very sad, i loved when russert would come on with imus.

too bad it wasn't that phony imus or his wife.

Russert was great. Good journalist and good person.

GO GO BUFFALO.

Man, that's coarse.

I guess you didn't key "the Travers Winner" third, huh?

R.I.P. Mr. Russert...you always brought a sense of class to the soap opera of politics!

He was great.. Quite a shocker. A real pro.

Homicide: L.O.T.S. fans will recall how he was written into the show as the cousin of "Capt. Megan Russert" (Isabella Hoffman) and appeared in an episode or two...

what a shocker. Russert really was one of a kind. nobody worked harder, or prepared as well as he did, or had the enthusiasm. i think that's what i really liked about him. a real genuine good person.

The one thing I liked about Tim Russert is he had the onions to put the spotlight on politicians. Any time a greasy pol sat across from Russert he was facing fastballs. His interviews on Meet the Press exposed a lot of phony pols who were use to facing easy questions. He'll be missed. David Gregory might replace him on Meet the Press but he's exposed himself as too much of a partisan Democrat. While Russert was a Democrat he was fair and balanced.

My girlfriend and I have political views that are polar opposites. Russert was the one man we would watch each Sunday morning. She would have her coffee and I would have my water and we would eat fresh muffins.

His book "Big Russ and Me" is great. My father passed away in 1995 and Russert became a father type figure to me from afar. His hardwork, dedication, and blue collar attitude made him a treat to watch.

It is a damn shame that he will not be here to cover the most historic Presidential election. His professionalism, attitude, and charisma will be missed.

What a shame. There is never a good time to lose someone like Tim Russert, but it's hard to see him go in what will likely end up being one of the more memorable and possibly historic election cycles in history. If prayers are your deal, might want to send a few up for his family, and ole' Big Russ...a father should never have to see his son buried. I know I'll be saying a few.

And for tonight, I'm an honorary Bills fan.

anyone that did not get to see Meet the Press today msnbc has it online. it's well worth the time to watch.

That is was. I teared up many times. Tom Brokaw lost it and James Carville couldn't even talk for most of the show. Russert did was he loved. He challenged me to find my passion and to go for it. What a heck of a man.

Let us not forget good people die every day.




The famous get 24/7 eulogy treatment ....the no names get nothing.

Well it's not our fault they aren't on TV.

:mad:

EAUXH!!








Don't you give me sour grapes.

Yes its weird how when your own Dad dies,
you actually focus on an older person in
India who died in their sleep.

When people die that I am familiar with,
I sometimes focus on the all the bacteria
I killed in the morning while brushing my teeth.

...uh....did you disengage your power take off or something?.....

That's enough sarcasm for one day, Pat.

Yes it is.

Tell Morton it is for real.
I am that bizarre.

Excuse my jab at the self-righteousness,
as I am just a bit overly so myself.
