Tim Russert, host of Meet The Press suffered a fatal heart attack Friday.
He was just 58. Russert was at work at the NBC Studios in Washington, D.C., when
he went into cardiac arrest. "He was an institution in both news and politics for more
than two decades. Tim was a tough and hardworking newsman. He was always well-
informed and thorough in his interviews. And he was as gregarious off the set as he
was prepared on it," President Bush said Friday. In 2008, TIME magazine named him
one of the 100 most influential people in the world. Russert was a father, too. Very sad.
