Apparent massive heart attack.

MikeWaters · 06-13-2008, 07:59 PM

Wow, that's a shocker. He will be missed.

il Padrino Ute · 06-13-2008, 08:02 PM

Whoa, that is a surprise.

He was a good one.

God speed, Mr. Russert.

YOhio · 06-13-2008, 08:12 PM

He was one of the best.

That is far too young. I respected Russert quite a bit. Perhaps his most lasting contribution to the political culture, however, will be that darn dry erase board.

Wow. My mortality sensors are pinging big time.

I remember when Chet Huntley died. I was a little kid and thought,"big deal."

I thought he was looking increasingly unwell, but assumed that was just age.

Don't know. He did appear to eat a lot, and exercise only a little.

To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
