Tim Russert, host of NBC's Meet The Press, has died of what is being reported as a heart attack.
Politics is a strange animal. It is unlike any other discipline.
Criticisms about ideologies and issues are all able to be thrown aside, when someone as prolific as Russert dies so suddenly and so young. This was a man that I often disagreed with and criticized mercilessly when I thought he was wrong. But hearing this news truly saddens me, because in the end politics is just politics and humanity always takes precedence over the games that are produced in it.
He was a husband, father, and a son. He was a professional, a man that tried to do the best job he could do in the profession in which he was so successful. Meet The Press will never be the same again, without him.
He will be missed, greatly by those who watched him and even more by those that knew and loved him. For this reason, today, my prayers and thoughts are with his family and friends.
