Tim Russert was like a best friend. I'd watch him every Sunday morning, faithfully. It was like having a cup of coffee with a dear friend.
I considered him to be the most reliable anchor on Television today. He was true to himself. He told it like it was and he had a smile that was infectious.
You will be missed by everyone, Tim.
Heavy hearted,
Michelle

The most regrettable thing about Tim Russerts death is that he had very obvious myxedema, a result of unrecognized and untreated hypothyroidism. (which is virtually always concomitant with diabetes).
It is well known that people with hypothyroidism have a greatly accelerated rate of atherosclerosis, leading to heart disease and heart attacks.
Tim's death is emblematic of the scandalously poor clinical recognition and unreliable lab tests used to diagnose hypothyroidism.
I hope his journalist friends will pick up that story and fight for it in his honor.

There's a full-page tribute to Tim Russert in today's New York Times -- I got teary just seeing his smiling face on that big page. He will truly be missed, especially with the elections coming up.....
