I never saw his death coming. He was really good on Meet the Press and I enjoyed watching it. Very sad :(

Wow. Did not see this one coming. Russert was probably one of the last great "old school" journalists.

Here is Tom Brokaw, his friend and colleague breaking the story. Tough. :(

That cheesy music in the beginning was pretty insensitive. You think they could've led in with some soft piano just this once? :shakehead

I got on the computer last night and it was the first thing I saw. I couldn't believe it. :(
