Correct me if I'm off the mark here, but isn't the key witness in the Libby trial...now dead?
   
It was Russert's testimony to investigators that was largely responsible for the establishment of a special prosecutor:

"Scooter Libby, chief of staff for Vice President Dick Cheney, told special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald that Russert was the first to tell him of the identity of Central Intelligence Agency officer Valerie Plame (Mrs. Joseph C. Wilson). Russert testified previously and again in United States v. I. Lewis Libby that he did not tell Libby of Mrs. Wilson's CIA identity."

Bold added for emphasis.

Who else might not have wanted Russert ever testifying against them, I wonder?

9. It is sick to think this way....but...
   
...I admit, when I saw "dead at 58" my first thought was "who wanted him dead". Nothing shocks me anymore and nothing is unbelievable anymore. But for now REST IN PEACE TIM.

Actually those four scouts who died the other day were awful young. 58 and a heart attack happens all the time.

Teh stoopid is strong with these people.

What, nobody ever dies of a heart attack in their late 50's?  My FIL almost did in his EARLY 50's.  I had a friend who keeled over at work, aged 47. 

Sorry 'bats, happens all the time.  It sucks losing Mr. Russert, but don't think for a second anyone else had anything to do with it.

I bet they will find it tied to the fact that Mr. Russert flew home from Italy the night before. Those transatlantic flights are horrible on the circulatory system.

45. Well, we're going to find out - Sibley Hospital just announced that they're doing an autopsy.

And when the autopsy shows he died of natural causes, do you think it will make any difference to the conspiracy kooks on the DUmp?  Of course it won't!

Gee, this is suspicious and intriguing.  Someone in the upper up must be suspicious too.  They hardly almost never do an autopsy on the body of someone who died suddenly.  : rolleyes :

Um, I'm wondering where in the hell you got that little tidbit of information from? From all accounts, Visene is supposed to just give you the shits.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government.

My maternal Grandfather died of a heart attack at 51. He was a smoker and drank, as do I. If there's anyone I take after in my family, in terms of physical features, likes, dislikes, etc., it's him. I don't expect to live past 55. Satan, here I come, beeyatch! Pack yo bags! I'm taking over! :evillaugh:

My best friend's brother, a school teacher/minister who never had a cigarette or a sip of alcohol in his life, dropped dead at 39 on January 4, 2003.  He was slightly overweight, but nothing alarming.

I had not seen the guy in a few years until I saw him at my best friend's mother-in-law's memorial service eleven months before he died.  I was surprised by how "pear shaped" he had become.  My life experiences has shown me that a "pear shape" is not good.  It generally means heart problems exist.

After his death, I felt badly because I didn't say something to him the last time I saw him alive.  It would have been awkward and out of place to have done so, but still.....
