When did Libby go to jail ???? As I recall, President Bush took action (not quite a pardon) to assure that he didn’t go to jail.

That's my understanding, too. When I saw this headline, I thought, "Whaaa?"

Compassion is fine. Rewriting history is not. Certainly one can and should allow some time to pass, but that luxury is short circuited when the left tries to use the death of anyone they can claim to advance their cause.

I am saying I don't know but I found the article again that at least asks:

The mainstream media is reporting that Russert died from a “heart attack,” but no press outlet has yet bothered to ask: “What caused the heart attack?”

I'm with you on this one. Lots of dopes on FR these days. I'll sum it up: People who compromise with evil become the victim of evil and spread it onto others.

Intolerance to the forces of your demise is prequisite for responsibility and trustworthyness. FR is often like taking a ride with a driver who offers panhandlers a lift and seats them next to you. I.e., socialism.

Thank you for your opinion.

Isn't this the kind of question Russert himself would have been asking considering no one else is?

Cry me a river. Lewis Libby is a sick freak whose novel should be on the banned list of every library. One scene:

"At age 10 the madam put the child in a cage with a bear trained to couple with young girls so the girls would be frigid and not fall in love with their patrons. They fed her through the bars and aroused the bear with a stick when it seemed to lose interest."

To quote one reviewer: The book is laced with scatology, drunkenness, and torture. Subjects like urine, turds, armpits, pubic hair, bestiality, and menstrual cycles, flow from this literary trash. Libby describes quivering inner lips, arching backs, firm breasts, and everything is moist.

All I know for sure is that Scooter Libby is very loyal to his boss Dick Cheney, and Scooter will absolutely and positively get a Presidential pardon sometime between November 5th 2008 and January 20, 2009. The late Tim Russert was a Democrat, but I don’t think he was the sort to deliberately lie under oath for partisan reasons. Rest in peace, Tim.

“why was the objectionable Duke treated differently from other guests.”

Good God. Your moral equivalency is is unbelievable,

David Duke was a racist. He founded the Louisiana-based Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, formed the National Association for the Advancement of White People, he is a Holocaust denier and an ant-semite.

I lived thru his gubernatorial campaign. It would have set race relations and te “conservative movement” back 50 years

Face it folks Russert was never a conservative. He was a Democrat hack with higher people skills than say ...Chris Matthews but they're both the same.

It is strange that he died so suddenly. Even after he had been given a clean bill of health by the doctors. True he had some chronic health matters, but nothing that would bring about such a major event. I suspect that something additional had to intervene such as his overseas flight. Of course, getting on the wrong side of HRC is also not a precursor of a long healthy life. He should’ve carried a St. Christopher medal and gotten communion at least once a week. When you're dealing with someone who has a list of over 200 people who have met untimely demises, you tend to take all precautions...like gathering up all your hair clippings before leaving a barber shop, burning all your old clothes instead of giving them away and never having them dry cleaned or washed outside your home. It also would've been best if he had worn garlic around his neck.

I would think so.
My husband has just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and one of the things they tell you is that it plays havoc with your heart.
He must control his diet and exercises regularly. Fortunately he just quit his high stress job after 32 years so we don't have to worry about that issue.
I liked Russert. Yes, he was left but I still found that most of the time he was a fare interviewer.
It is possible he or his family did know he had an underlying heart problem but 58 is still pretty young.

Should be banded....

Yet here you are posting quotes from this book you describe as sick.
When did you read the book that you would know so much about it?

If treating a cardiac condition, there's quite a list.
My husband had a thyroid condition which presented as cardiomyopathy. The thyroid was diagnosed, correctly, by a “bulldog” of a doctor who found lab reports and symptoms he just did not like. Get your thyroids checked, women & men, because it can present as an irregular heartbeat and be your last. You feel fine, look fine, and have plenty of energy...and then you're a memory. BTW: Mr F-4 is still around, but will not let me mow the grass. Figures.

“However, I don’t think there is a reason to bring this bit up about Russert at this time.”

Actually Brokaw and NBC jumped on the chance to bring up the controversy around the Libby case with the very first report on Russert’s passing.

You’re right. It’s called respect, class, and compassion for his family.

I’m not saying anything bad about the libs because the moderators got mad and banned me for a week when I said something about TK. So I’m keeping my mouth shut because they don’t like you talking about bad about the libs on here.

May God Bless all the libs like Ted Kennedy ,Tim Russert,Bill Clinton, etc....
