Newsman Tim Russert dies at 58 - CNN.com

I saw that... at 58....that's too young to die... my condolences to his family. That's why we need to live each day as if it was our last...:smile:

I was so sad to see this on HuffPost. Tim was one of my fav MSNBC interviewers. I really enjoyed watching him on "Meet the Press" and on the Tim Russert show. It is a sad day for news junkies everywhere.

That was such sad news. They had just returned from celebrating their son's graduation from Boston College. I know their family must be in shock at his sudden death.

I am saddened by this. He was just wonderful.

He will be missed. He had a way of making people show their true selves.

Anytime a news anchor dies I am sad. I love watching the news. :smile:
