Tim Russert Dies?

I can't fucking believe this, Tim Russert, host of Meet The Press and fan of the Buffalo Bills, died of a heart attack today, according to the NY Times. I was a really big fan...Sundays won't be the same.

What is someone ironic (and tragic about this) is that just a month ago Terry McAuliffe had to eat his words after he mistakenly said that Tim Russert's father, "Big Russ," was watching the election from heaven.

Update:

This is terrible news. Russert was easily my favorite political journalist. We lost an incredible talent.

Though I have very little good to say about his journalism (the Libby trial pulled back a lot of curatins . . . him holding OPbama to task for something Harry friggin Belafonte said still outrages me), there is nothing bad I can say about him as a fellow human.

This is a shame . . . tragic. Poor Big Russ and poor younger Russ - his son - who just raduated college it sounds like.

That video made me cry.
Tim was just a real guy who loved politics, but first, his family.

As old media journalists die off and give way to new media, we've lost a giant.

The thing I admired about him the most was that he realized there's more to life than sitting in Washington screaming and shouting on cable TV,radio and the blogosphere.
