I am so sad about Tim Russert's death. I have been watching MSNBC this afternoon.

I always looked forward to his interviews because he was the only one who wasn't obvious about his political position.

I watched him interview Steve Martin a few months ago and it was one of the best I have ever seen. He could interview movie stars as easily as politicians.

May he rest in peace.

I'm going to miss him. You could always count on an enlightening and fair interview and coverage from him. From what they're writing in the press, he was just an all-around great man.

I'm shocked and saddened. He was who I looked for to try to get to the truth. A great guy.

I am really sad about this.

It ached me when I heard his wife and son were still in Italy where he had been with them celebrating his son's graduation from Boston college Apparently he had returned ahead of them. I cannot begin to imagine their devastation and sorrow, as well as that of his elderly dad "Big Russ"

I pray God's comfort for his family and colleagues.

I have been watching the coverage all afternoon and into the evening.

They just mentioned that he was recently saddened by the fact that 10 days ago he had to put his dad Big Russ into an assisted living home.

He sounds like he was an amazing human being.

I too, am very saddened about his passing.

He gave me a reason to get up on Sunday mornings to watch "Meet the Press".
I will miss his insight and reporting during the coming presidential election. I have never been a political junkie, but I always enjoyed his reporting on political issues.

R.I.P. Mr. Russert.

This news broke my heart...what a giving and wonderful person he was. His time was too short and I'll miss him!
