Oh...Tim Russert dead at 58?! Kind of shocking!

Anyone who follows US- Politics...knows he is perhaps among the leading political TV anchors..I always try to watch "Meet the Press" on Sundays.

RIP.

Tragic.

Obama will miss him.  He plotted Hillary's demise in the media.

I always admired Tim Russert,  with his political views on Meet the Press.  I was so glad, when I heard that he was the moderator for Hillary/Obama presidential debate, believeing he was cool, calm, collected, and fair. Was I wrong! I saw him tear Hillary with a passion, attacking her every issue as if to say,"You will not be the nominee, if I can help it."  
I feel badly for his son, wife and father. What a shock! He was an excellent political reporter/analyst. Wish he had slowed down during this Presidential race.

that was very unprofessional.  it was more like a personal vendetta against hilary.

that said, my condolences to his fmaily over his untimely death

Absolutely tragic!
I am going to miss his election coverage this year! He would have loved to be around covering this important elections year. He was a staple in our home every Sunday morning!

Reminds me of Peter Jennings loss. He was the best news reader on television.

OMG! Just heard this on the radio..
Feel so bad for his family since I know he has a grown son, and it's right before Father's Day.

:-(

So sorry to hear this.

>>> he recently published a book about his relationship with his still living father. must be a terrible blow to the old man. very sad.

THAT IS SHOCKING!!

I used to watch him in "Meet the Press" every Sunday morning. I wasn't aware thet he was sick or had health problems.
  Seva posted Re:Tim Russert (Meet the Press) dies?! on 4 mnths ago
probably a heart attack.
  Vivek posted Re:Tim Russert (Meet the Press) dies?! on 4 mnths ago
"He collapsed and died at work, according to the network.", that's what the news says.

"He collapsed and died at work"

one day this is going to happen to me. i hope all of u celebrate then.
  Seva posted Re:Tim Russert (Meet the Press) dies?! on 4 mnths ago
How do you know this (heart attack at work) is going to happen to you one day and why do you hope that we celebrate it?

  Vivek posted Re:Tim Russert (Meet the Press) dies?! on 4 mnths ago
one day this is going to happen to me. i hope all of u celebrate then.

It's going to happen to all of us, one day, someday. Mine, as I guess is 4 to 5 years away. For some reason I'm not fearful, but excited. :)

lag raha hai Anand ka Amitabh bol raha hai..

Maut tu ek kavitaa hai
mujhse ek kavita ka vada hai milegi mujhko
doobti nabzon mein jab dard ko neend aane lage
zard sa chehra lekar jab chaand ufaq tak pahunche
din abhi paani mein ho, raat kinaare ke kareeb
na andhera na ujaala ho, na abhi raat na din
jism jab khatm ho aur rooh ko jab saans aaye
mujhse ek kavita ka waada hai milegi mujhko

Wah! wah!

Aapne bhi kya mauke ki baat ki

I was feeling really low on Sunday morning. I absolutely missed Tim Russert on Sunday. Watched Tom Brokow and other cohosts do the eulogy and Tom Brokow choked in the end.
 
Around 12:30 PM I pulled out one of the best and watched it through. Yes, I watched 'Anand' and smiled all the way. Oh! what dialogues. Gulzar and Hrishikesh Mukherjee at their best. Why can't they make such masterpieces today. Great dialogues. Maut tu ek Kavita hai... Wah!

Ek aur from Anand

Zindagi lambi naheen, badi honi chaheeye, jiske ek ek pal mein hum hazarron jeevan jiyein.

I'm going to write to Gulzar about this. I really miss those movies.
 
Lekin... moments like the Tim's sudden loss, Anand's script and hundreds of small moments that makes life so exciting.

zindagi rangmunch aur hum sab kathputliyaan...jo apni dor apne haath mein rakne ki koshish karti rahti hain..kitna hi uljha kyun na ho zindagi ka taana-baana ..isko jeena  bhi kum exciting nahi...sab mila ke jitna zindagi ko samjho ..utni dilchasp lagti hai. 
 
( kya likhoge Gulzar ko? )

Seva,

Even for someone who says the above all the time...sometimes news like this is shocking.

*He is from Buffalo, NY and would always talk about the "blue-collar" roots..just seemed like a gentle giant- tough but compassionate in his interviews..

Just the other day he was talking about Sen. Edward Kennedy and how his cancer impacted him and hard to imagine the US- without him...now, looks like he is the one who is gone (Sunday mornings will be kind of odd without watching him/his program..I always watched before I left for Church).

M

*Hope you are doing well..Have not said hello to you...in sometime!
  Seva posted Re:Seva- Tim Russert (Meet the Press) dies?! on 4 mnths ago
Hello Maria - nice of you to put it that way. I am doing fine - how are you? Take care.
- Seva
