Tim Russert 1950-2008


This was not something I figured I'd post for a very long time.

Tim Russert, host of Meet the Press, has passed away. He was 58. He collapsed while recording voice tracks for Meet the Press. He was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. As of writing the cause is unknown but it is said to have been a heart attack. He recently returned to the US after a family vacation with his wife and son. They were celebrating his son's college graduation.

I've grown to love Tim's reporting over the primary season. He really shone through.

RIP Tim.
