Tim was 58, overweight and diabetic. Rush is 57,overweight, a smoker and by his own admission hates exercise. Prayers for the Russert family. But I will also pray to God to protect Rush and keep him in good health for a loooong time.

Rush, please, please, please, get regular checks up done. Given your lifestyle that's the least you could do for yourself and for us. God bless.

Rush quit smoking years ago - did he start up again? His weight fluctuates so I hope he gets regular checkups.

Prayers and Condolences to Tim's Family.

Every time I see Rush on the Ditto Cam looking like he is having a hard time breathing.. I'm Concerned.

“Tim was 58, overweight and diabetic. Rush is 57,overweight, a smoker and by his own admission hates exercise.”

This is a sad wake up call. To die in the late 50’s isn’t what I would call a long life span. Too many people have really bad life-style habits. If a person doesn’t do hard physical labor then they need to get in the habit of exercising regulary. I like what Dr. Laura says, to move more and eat less. Russert seemed within the normal range of being overweight. Obviously, even that can be deadly. I for one would like to live to the mid 90’s. It’s very hard on the family when people die before their time. I heard a recent report that the normal life span should be 100 years old. It’’s something for people to think about.
