I was watching one of the NBC shows last night. They were talking about Russert's health issues over the last few years. Apparently, he had some sort of a heart problem that he didn't discuss very often. He struggled with his weight..I want to say it was Brokaw who was concerned about him and talked to him, but I'm not positive...I was flipping channels and saw so much. Anyway, the person said he had talked to Russert about his health - weight, working too hard, and the heart problem. And Russert had just moved his dad to an assisted living facility and was apparently very upset about that.

It will likely be circulated among close circles that this years hot tempo of political election coverage is what did Tim in since he was already at risk with a known medical condition. Consequently, we lost a rare and real class act of an individual in political analysis and will be sorely missed. RIP

I think its a democratic conspiracy
