Breaking News: Tim Russert is Dead
Tim Russert has passed away from a heart attack at the age of 58. The host of Meet the Press had the heart attack while recording voice overs an upcoming episode. I knew that Russert had been in politics for ever, working for people like Daniel Patrick Moynihan, but I didn't realize that he won an Emmy for his coverage of Ronald Reagan's funeral. While I didn't always agreed with his political views, he did such a balanced job on Meet the Press that I always liked watching the show. His presence will definitely be missed.

I heard this news on the way home from grocery shopping this afternoon and was kind of sad. While I had long since abandoned NBC news shows, it just resonated with me how young this man was. I think I heard on our local news this evening that he had a coronary embolism.
They have lost two pretty great men--Russert and David...oh, was it David Blume? The one that died while covering Iraq?
