NBC News is very saddened to report that Tim Russert has passed away suddenly after collapsing at work. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
I was alone and far away when I heard the band start playing!

...I was always a DeadHead, but when I first heard Winston Rodney, aka the Burning Spear, sing, I became a SpearHead too!

    Hey, off topic, but did you know if your username was Leveddermon and you spelled it backwards, you'd get Nomreddevel, or No More Devil? Crazy.

    Are you fucking heartless? Tim Russert was adamn fine journalist who asked the tough questions to both sides, and if you tried to sneak through without answering..he would call you out on it.

    It is terribly sad, and if you have a problem with the media as a whole start your own fucking thread on it. Don't hijack a thread paying tribute to a man passed to soon. A man with a father, wife, and son who will miss him every day for the rest of their lives---not to mention the millions of lives he touched every week. Tim Russert was a MAN who DIED. While you may not agree with the media, agree with us all as humans that no matter who it is, it is a heartbreaking story.

    It is sad that he died so young, however, my last memory of him will be his terrible job at moderating one of the Obama-Clinton debates. He seemed like a political hack with a biased agenda against Mrs. Clinton. That was sad to see as well.

    yeah, he may not have pressed as hard as he could have at times, and he could be biased but i've seen him ask ppl like cheney tough questions and not back down after the first denail or bullshit answer.

    there's been a lot of hate on myspace, too. what they don't understand is he's on network tv, look how liberal phil donahue's show was and he had higher ratings than hardball yet he got the axe...you can't expect him to have an alex jones type show
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    I always enjoyed Tim Russet, even though I may not always agree with some of the points he made. Any loss to a loved one is worthy of sending loving thoughts for recovery during a time of bereavement.
