He died today, of an apparent heart attack, at 58 years old (the same age as my father). I just found out, and I am in total shock.
I've been a political junkie for years, and I've always enjoyed watching the Sunday morning shows. This year I've been spending lots of time watching Russert, both on MSNBC and on Meet The Press. He had such a kind and gentle way about him - but he also had the ability to cut through a lot of the crap and get right to the heart of the matter. And the depth and breadth of his knowledge was astounding.
It's really hard to imagine Sunday mornings without him (as well as the rest of this election cycle, which he was all over). He will be missed.
