Tim Russert has just passed away.

The Meet The Press host suffered a heart attack on Friday, his family has said.

He was just 58.

Russert was at work at the NBC Studios in Washington, D.C., today when he was struck with cardiac arrest. He was unable to recover.

So sad.

Our condolences to his family on this very tragic and sudden loss.

    I thought Keith Obermann's head would explode on-air before this. Russert was an energetic guy who was so enthused over the upcoming election of Obama.
