NBC’s Tim Russert died this afternoon of a heart attack. According to NBC:
Tim Russert, NBC News’ Washington bureau chief and the moderator of “Meet the Press,” died Friday after a sudden heart attack at the bureau, NBC News said Friday. He was 58.
Russert was recording voiceovers for Sunday’s “Meet the Press” program when he collapsed, the network said. He and his family had recently returned from Italy, where they celebrated the graduation of Russert’s son, Luke, from Boston College.
58 years old is way too young to go like this. It’s terribly sad.

He was a kind and wonderful man. An extraordinary talent in the political world. I’m going to miss him terribly. My heart is broken over his passing.
My thoughts and prayers are with his wife Maureen, and son Luke. God Bless, Tim.
Yes, this was so terrible to hear about. His son had just graduated college, and then this, completely out of the blue. He was a great journalist and newsman and he will be sorely missed!
