The political world lost a great asset Friday, when journalist Tim Russert died suddenly from a heart attack at the age of 58. Tim is best known for his strong political insight and his ability to make the complex understandable in the world of politics.
Tim was an extremely talented journalist who hosted the Sunday morning program, "Meet The Press" where he sent often sharp and pointed questions toward political figures and made them squirm with his well researched commentary as well as sound bites from their speeches. Though most candidates had been on his hot seat, he remained highly respected for the work he did.
As the lead political analyst at NBC, his untimely death has created an emptiness in NBC's political coverage that will be hard, if not impossible to fill less than five months from the presidential election.
Tim was a huge asset to the political world and he will be greatly missed.
Tim is survived by his wife, Maureen Orth, son Luke, and his father, Tim Sr.
