WASHINGTON - Tim Russert, NBC News' Washington bureau chief and the moderator of "Meet the Press," died Friday after a sudden heart attack at the bureau, NBC News said Friday. He was 58.

Russert was recording voiceovers for Sunday's "Meet the Press" program when he collapsed, the network said. No details were immediately available.

When I first read this over at Digby's, I thought it was some kind of joke, because there was no link, so I looked it up.

As always, I never speak ill of those who've passed on.
