Tim Russert is gone. Details are sparse at this point, but it appears that he was struck with a heart attack earlier this afternoon.
I am shocked to the core; this is so sudden. He was just there on Sunday on "Meet the Press" with a table full of commentators. He was also only 58.
Tim Russert will be grievously missed. All of the MSNBC commentators, seasoned Washington pros like David Gregory, Brian Williams and Andrea Mitchell are openly crying on the air.
Life is so short, and he seemed to enjoy it to the fullest, by all accounts.
When it came to objective journalism, he was the best I've ever seen.
This story is still in early development, but apparently, he taped his CNBC weekend show earlier this morning with John Harwood, on Harwood's new book Pennsylvania Avenue: Profiles in Backroom Power. Russert had just returned from Italy last night from a trip he took with his family to celebrate his son Luke's college graduation.
This is so sad.
