Default Tim Russert passed away

I always liked his political commentary and his knowledge of it all. Especially on Meet the Press. It will be a shame not to have him around for the election and all of the coverage and interviews

RIP

I'm quite surprised by that, he seemed visibly healthy. I hate seeing young people die, my parents are in their 60s.

Cheers to a smart political analyst. In a sea of obnoxious, overbearing, arrogant reporters and such, he was a breath of fresh air with class.

RIP, a voice that will be sorely missed.

On the news they said that he just got back from a family trip to Italy in celebration of his son's college graduation.
