Such a shock. And You're so right TVA.... 58 is ridiculously too young. My thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family. Meet the Press was a weekly fix for me. Such a shock.

In the last year or two, I've gotten in the habit of watching -- evening season passing on TiVo -- Meet the Press with Tim Russert and Face the Nation with Bob Schieffer. I'm really impressed with both men's interviewing skills, and it's very sad to hear of Tim's premature passing. He was also really good at moderating roundtable discussions on his show and national debates during the election cycle. I read elsewhere that Bob Schieffer said if you could ever scoop a story before Tim Russert you felt like you hit a home run because he was just that good. Even AintItCoolNews.com recognized his passing. They mentioned something I think I had heard before that Tim was the longest-running host of Meet the Press which is television's longest running show. I agree with Linda that he seemed likable. While his questions to political interviewees were often intense and hard-hitting, he always had a way of ending an interview with a lighter moment. This is a shame. Sunday news TV won't be quite the same. This is a huge & sad shock to me too.

He seemed like such a likable guy, someone you would truly want as a friend and colleague. I am completely shocked and saddened.

I'm quite the political junkie and I cannot tell you the number of election nights I have watched Russert and his whiteboard of fate telling the tale of victories and loss. He was a huge part of the election coverage year in and year out and I will really miss him this November. This was a huge shock.
