The New York Times is reporting that MSNBC political pundit and Meet The Press host Tim Russert died of a heart attack at the NBC News Bureau on Friday. He was fifty-eight.

“Tim loved his family, his faith, his country, politics, the Buffalo Bills, New York Yankees and the Washington Nationals. He’ll be missed as he was loved – greatly,” former NBC Nightly News host Tom Brokaw said of his friend in a statement from the network this afternoon.

Tim is survived by his wife Maureen Orth and son Luke, twenty-three.
