Did Tim Russert know too much?

[Hardrada]

We've had everything else about him except a good old DU conspiracy thread!

And why is Bush still lingering in Europe when we have emergencies here? Isn't this just a little too convenient???

[nadinbrzezinski]

1. You missed it, there were several

[Hardrada]

5. And I thought I had a devious mind!!

I guess I know DU too well.

[Hardrada]

7. Link to any?

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. Sadly did not keep any of them

summary though, he testified against libby, and now that McClellan is talking... well you see connect some dots

[Hardrada]

13. "Ah hah!" exclaimed the chief inspector.

[lonestarnot]

34. Here's one. You have to search through the link to find the story link.

2. Try a LCD Screen.

They don't throw off as much radiation.

6. Mmrzapsrl irtdcur?

[Captain Hilts]

3. Sorry, I'm still stuck on the 'suicide' of the DC madam. nt

[Cleita]

4. The guy was fighting his weight and was a heart attack waiting in the

wings. No need for conspiracy. It was his time.

[hlthe2b]

8. However, I don't think the Ken Lay scenario has been proposed...

Ya know, faked death and now on a beach in some South Seas island..... :eyes:


DU can get so very crazy at times....

[Hardrada]

11. I forgot about that! It's sort of a variant on the Elvis myths.

I remember seeing those now.

[dflprincess]

10. I'm sure Russert knew plenty

but anything but a heart attack never crossed my mind because over the last 7-1/2 years he certainly proved he could keep his mouth shut.

[UTUSN]

12. Uh, not enough about cardiovascular disease!1 But he LUERVED gossip!1 n/t

[Hardrada]

14. Some folks do thrive on that!

But you're right about watching the lifestyle. God knows I could lose a few pounds.

[Kahuna]

15. Bing!

:tinfoilhat: What took this so long?

[sharesunited]

16. His days were numbered from this point forward:

17. You made me do it

Tim Russert conspiracy story here:

[Sheets of Easter]

18. No, he didn't, and apparently you don't either.

Let him rest in peace, forfuxsakes.

[Taxmyth]

20. The measure of a man is how many know

that he died. And when.

[uppityperson]

19. My take...

[Hardrada]

22. LOL!

[DavidDvorkin]

21. No, he ate too much.

[JuniperLea]

24. A lot of people eat too much and never have a heart attack

And there are many ways to "fake" a heart attack, by causing one with drugs not normally found in postmortem toxicology tests.


Just sayin'...

[Individualist]

23. He knew a great deal about the cabal and kept it to himself; that's why he was among Cheney's

favorites. No conspiracy motive in this case, just a bum heart that stopped beating.

[Life Long Dem]

25. I myself am wondering why there are no questions

over the exact cause of death. I know they are saying a heart attack, but to me it just seems odd the news media is taking that cause as fact and not asking questions.

[Hardrada]

26. It does seem odd come to think of it.

Usually there is some more detail to events like this. You have a point.

[Blue Diadem]

27. They did an autopsy the very same day he died.

His Dr. was on MSNBC and answered several questions. IIRC, they could actually see where the plaque broke loose and blocked his artery.

[onenote]

30. shame on you! Spouting facts and spoiling the tinfoil party

go to your room!

[Life Long Dem]

32. No tinfoil here smart ass.

I didn't see anything about the details of a heart attack other than he had a heart attack. No tinfoil just no facts to work with.

[Blue Diadem]

37. I just happened to catch it that day.

It surprised me that the autopsy was done so quickly. I haven't heard many details mentioned since then.

Here's a link with some details:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25145431/

snip:
Russert’s physician, Michael Newman, said cholesterol plaque ruptured in an artery, causing sudden coronary thrombosis.

Russert had earlier been diagnosed with asymptomatic coronary artery disease, but it was well-controlled with medication and exercise, and he had performed well on a stress test in late April, Newman said. An autopsy revealed that he also had an enlarged heart, Newman said.

[Blue Diadem]

36. do I have to?

*stomps foot and sticks out lower lip*

but I don't wanna go to my room.

[mr_hat]

28. He was too beautiful.

[11 Bravo]

29. Oh, good. It's been hours since I was embarrassed to be a contributing member of this forum.

Thanks.

[onenote]

31. I don't know about that, but if you're right, I wouldn't give a plugged nickel for your life

exposing their devious plotting. My guess is that you're dead man walking.

:sarcasm:

[Hardrada]

38. I know nothing!!

(doing my best Sergeant Schultz).

[KG]

33. was he....Wellstoned?

:scared:

[elliotwayne]

35. Yes, I think you're onto something, keep digging.

[Hardrada]

40. I doubt if I really am but I am just curious about the genesis of

conspiracy theories.

[earth mom]

39. Probably, but they would have just paid him more money to keep quiet. nt

[Canuckistanian]

41. He knew on which side his bread was buttered

And that was his main liability.
