Oh my god.

I'm speechless...

Politics will never be the same.

Unbelievable news. I had a lot of respect of Russert, despite how I feel about most of the rest of the network. A great journalist and great fan of politics. Again, unbelievable. Tough to watch Brokaw deliver the news, clearly on the verge of tears.

i'm in complete shock...wow. poor guy.

randhail · 06-13-2008, 02:51 PM

wow, just wow.

phillyfan26 · 06-13-2008, 02:54 PM

Shocking and saddening. I was a big fan.

I'm devestated. He was one of my favorite reporters ever. RIP Tim.

neatperson42 · 06-13-2008, 03:08 PM

this is very sad news. I was a huge Russert fan. thoughts and prayers with his family.

U2democrat · 06-13-2008, 03:09 PM

I don't even know what to say...the world of American politics won't be the same without him...

Jim McKay in sports and now this...

TripThruUreWires · 06-13-2008, 03:14 PM

Sad. sad. sad ... such a remarkable journalist.

U2isthebest · 06-13-2008, 03:15 PM

Here's Tom Brokaw's announcement. He paid tribute beautifully.

I still can't believe this. I loved hearing his political analysis more than any other.

OH MY GOD.

Timmy!

I cannot believe this. Wow.

A beautiful, enthusiastic, heartfelt journalist and lover of politics. You could tell he was LOVING this hotly contested election season. And now...

Damn.

Rest in Peace Russert. You will be missed.

I'm watching Andrea Mitchell choke up talking about him...she is usually so unflappable...my gosh...
