Statins are very very bad for you.

Just ask Tim Russert.

I don't understand. Did Russert take statins? I'm convinced that if you already have CAD, statins don't really do squat. Lowering cholesterol doesn't help you if the plaque is already there.

Didn’t we hear that Russert was diabetic? If so, that’s likely a factor. Early death from heart disease is pretty common in diabetics.
