RIP Tim Russert

NBC commentator Tim Russert died this afternoon after “being stricken” at his Washington DC office:

Russert, 58, collapsed while recording voiceovers for his Sunday morning interview program, NBC reported. He was initially reported to have suffered a heart attack while working in his office on Washington’s Nebraska Avenue, but the network said later only that he was “stricken at the bureau” and subsequently died. Further details were not immediately available.
Russert served as NBC’s Washington bureau chief and the host of “Meet the Press,” the top-rated Sunday talk show, which had an enormous influence on politics and was marked by his aggressive style of interrogation. As a frequent commentator on the “Today” show, “NBC Nightly News” and other shows, Russert wielded such clout that when he declared that Sen. Barack Obama had wrapped up the Democratic nomination last month, his pronouncement was treated as a news event in itself.
Former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw gave MSNBC viewers the news of Russert’s death at 3:40 p.m.

That shit is FUCKED. Meet the Press was seriously the highlight of my Sunday.

  • Barack Obama on Larry King

    Senator Barack Obama will be featured on Larry King tomorrow night. He’s been making the rounds on Oprah, the Today Show, Meet the Press, etc…jeez, I wonder when he’s going to finally announce that he’s running for president in 2008? If he wins it will finally make good on all futuristic science fiction movies where the President of The United States of America is handsome young black gentleman.

    I think he’s probably too good to be true, but the kids effing love this guy.

    Sen. Barak Obama (D-Ill.) will appear on CNN’s Larry King Live, Thursday, Oct. 19, at 9 p.m. (ET). He will discuss his new book, The Audacity of Hope. Oprah Winfrey endorsed him as a candidate for president on Larry King Live on Monday, Sept. 25. He will take viewer phone calls and e-mails.

    Larry King Live airs nightly from 9-10 p.m. (ET). For more information on upcoming shows or to locate past transcripts, visit The CNN Larry King site.
