    Oh my God, this is such a tragedy. I was fortunate enough to meet him once, truly a great man and an incredible loss for our whole country.

    Leaned left-of-center, but was usually able to suppress that and was a pretty good interviewer. Sad news.

    Let's hope NBC doesn't take after ABC and now hire James Carville to replace him and try to keep a straight face when they claim he will be 100% unbiased and objective.

    if they're smart they'll put Chuck Todd on Meet The Press. But it will probably be Chris Matthews. and he's pretty damned biased

    Latest reports has it listed as a cardiac arrest, not a heart attack; didnt know there was a difference but apparently there is. Also, he was not DOA at Sibley Memorial, but that hospital is just awful so they couldnt revive him. Should have been airlifted to GWU or Georgetown medical centers imo.
