Are you saddened to hear Tim Russert dies at 58?

Question

Died just before Fathers Day. He just wrote that book about his

dad not long ago.

Answer 1

Yes, I am sad for him and his family; that's my age and it's just too young to die.  I always enjoyed him on TV and I know he'll be missed by his loved ones and his coworkers.  It's always shocking when a celeb dies - even though the majority of people never met them.

Answer 2

Saddened indeed. I liked the guy. I have to say, though, as a long-time health and wellness consultant, I always thought he looked like a heart attack waiting to happen. Pale, doughy complexion... obviously overweight... and I'm sure experiencing a lot stress in his day-to-day life. He was a dying breed... a true journalist who managed to keep his personal agenda out of the news.

Answer 3

I don't think a journalist of his integrity can fill his shoes!  He will be sorely missed.  You could tell he was fair and balanced, because, each side felt he was on their side.

Answer 4

yes I am very sad. I could write a page of how great of a journalist he was. But I will say this he was the last honest and unbiased political analysis we had.

Answer 5

It really bothers me.  He was great and one of the few people in the news media I could listen to and trust.   I don't get it;  the cosmos and how it works never ceases to amaze and confuse me.

Answer 6

very sad for his family

Answer 7

he didn't die of a heart attack he died of cardiac arrest

Answer 8

Yes, I am mostly conservative and am sad because Tim died, unlike liberals who celebrated the death of Jerry Falwell and Ronald Reagan.
