Tim Russert Autopsy: He Had an Enlarged Heart

1. Too many people see their Doctor and are told they are fine to only die a short time later.

2. No doubt another liberal is chomping at the bit to bash all things conservative and patriotic.

5. It was painfully obvious that he was not a healthy man.

It's very sad that he cared enough about being a father to write books about the subject but didn't care enough to exercise and lay off the cheeseburgers.

Parents are morally obliged to guard their health but there's not much point in talking about moral obligations where liberals are concerned. They just don't understand the concept of living for someone else.

6. This goes to show you that doctors can be dead wrong. Watch what you eat, exercise and don't smoke. These are just the start, watch the red meat and have fish at least once a week. After you get over 35 get a complete physical once a year, and if you don't feel right and only you know how you feel go straight and get a checkup.

11. He was overweight, that didn't help him I am sure. He had an enlarged heart then how could it have functioned normal? I think he diet made it all worse. Along with obviouls advice I think the omega-3's are also great for lowering cholestrol and helping to maintain a healthy heart and exercise 3 times a week at least.

12. Yep, he was overweight and had promised his MD he'd start dieting many, many times...

14. I've shed some tears over Tim's death. I din't know him personally but i watched MTP every Sunday and i always waited all week to find out what Tim Russert thinks about the headlines. It's been moving to find out what a wonderful guy Tim was, and when people speak of you like they've spoken of Tim after his death, i'm sure God listens. RIP Tim Russert, i know i will miss you.

15. Tim was in a class of his own. He knew how to ask the tough questions and gave his opinions, but never came across as preachy, argumentative or condescending. A true gentleman. He was my Sunday morning buddy. I will miss him dearly. RIP, Tim, and my prayers to his family.
