Russert. Dead.

[Kat Kid]

1 heart attack.  1 death.

Makes me want to work out.  Sad, unexpected, shocking, weird.

58 years old.

Are you insinuating that I am older or younger than that?

R.I.P Mr. Tim Russert. Sad.

when i was in ROTC at ksu, one of the dudes dropped dead from one during a run. he was less than 25. i think genes play a huge role.

He wouldn't have been in my Dead Pool if I was a sick enough frack to have one.  Way to young.  Live people, live.

RIP Tim--great journalist, great show.

He didn't seem like the picture of health, though.  Go ahead guys, max out those credit cards.  We only live once.

[Bullfn33]

Great great guy. very sad. RIP T.R.

Possibly my biggest pet peeve is demonstrated in this thread.  "...too young..." as if he was 18. 

Blah.  People die everyday.

Yes,  but it's always good to say "I wasn't one of them."

He was a partially fair journalist, but when Clinton won in 1992, I never saw anyone as jubilant as he was on the air.   He was extremely partial, a fact that was pointed out by Dan Rather during our pre-election meeting in 1996.   Mr. Rather made it clear that when Clinton was to be announced as Re-elected at 9:00 pm the next night, we were to act professionally and without partiality.

I thought it was ironic.

I never saw him as very bad one side or the other. I think that people that get to closely connected emotionally to one side or the other think these things.  I mean, he wasn't O'Reily or Olberman.  There are those that clearly sit themselves on one side of the fence and I don't think he was one of them.  A majority of media will seem to be either "flaiming liberals" or "religious right" to those that are far to one side but rational intelligent individulas will see that when these people are reporting something they don't agree with they are doing just that....reporting.  You know?

He was one of those that had a partial view of the world, he just managed to do his job well enough to not let people get away with the obvious nonsense some would pull.   Yet, he would take conservatives to greater limits than some of the softballs he threw at more liberal individuals.

I'm not saying he was bad as a journalist.  He was respected by his peers for asking the tough questions.  However, he was never "impartial."

[steve dave]

"impartial."

Fair and balanced?

Sorry he helped David Duke lose the LA governor's race.  Obviously a flaming liberal.

LOL.

Don't know if I ever agreed with that image.
