TIM RUSSERT FUNERAL son LUKE gives moving EULOGY 6-18

[lizzieceltics]

It speaks volumes that reporters,politicians,religiou­s figures,coworkers & constituents from all points on the spectrum of the social,political,racial & religious compass respected and held Russert in such high regard personally & professionally unlike Beck, Rush,Hannity or Maher.Sure, he made a lot of money but there is a price for quality and that is just what he brought. I think without him the quality has gone down significantly of both Meet the Press and the network he worked at.

I Believe This Was A Video Clip Of Entertainment Tonight's Report On Tim Russert Funeral: Son Luke Gives Moving Eulogy On June 18, 2008.

[BranIL28]

Something is very wrong about this story. I think he was poisoned that day.

[guyNbluejeans]

Tim Russert: He was a good man in tradition with the family plan (to quote an early Elton John song:-).

[sturmluger]

he was a piece of fat crap

[911insidejo8]

@sturmluger ...he sure was, and I'm so sick of how the media portrays him as some sort of hero when, like almost all media mouthpieces, he was paid millions to play along with the sharade that the 2-party dictatorship only bickers bc they are trying to figure out how to best serve the American people. And then watching the dumb peasantry play along.

Now fatty junior is set up to continue the family tradition.

[thomasuras]

bring back the free chocolate for a gift? was Tim Jewish?

[thomasuras]

ppl should remember how fat and out of shape Tim was and when he died how many ppl he hurt because he was such a pig and think about getting in shape 1

[911insidejo8]

@thomasuras ...no, people should remember that he made millions serving the predatory ruling class and that he was not some sort of American rock star hero. Also that he had some kind of combination of no discernment, no care for the proletariats of the world, no courage, self-centeredness. Like Limbaugh, Hannity, Maher, Olbermann, Beck and all the controlled mouthpieces, he sold his soul for a dollar, hope it buys him a nice air conditioner in hell.

[ArrowJFH]

@911insidejo8 words can't describe your level of ignorance.

[911insidejo8]

@ArrowJFH ...lol, very good, I guess if I lived in a bubble instead of the real world I'd feel the same about me.

[TheManWithTVEyes]

The putrefying Tim Russert was a corporate elitist who had a keen knack for regurgitating garbage from teleprompters. He wasn't a journalist. He didn't care about the middle class, nor the sovereignty of our former Constitutional Republic. Why would the corporate media hire a loose cannon as their liaison anyway? Stop worshiping this tubby charlatan. Stop promoting him as a man of the people, as he clearly was not.

[HOANANIULOA]

he cant of been that wise he married an ogre i hope she feels all the pain that she inflicted on mj karmas a bitch!

[hisalone1212]

i bet none of those news guys are really sad to see him go...none!

[Lisa0607]

That is just sick ...

[ColdHardNews]

God bless him, great man and journalist

[shamuko83]

im sorry guys but he did not have a heart attack, he was killed cause he opened his mouth over the secret bone and skulls...

[adamdavidwilson1]

another patched up killing

[Braineater611]

A moving eulogy? The sound of Luke`s dragging voice sure makes me move a huge crap! If he could only bottle that voice. He could help thousands of constipated people across the world.

[wittumy]

braineater has gone away as he should. Hopefully he's off trying to become 1/10th of the man Luke is already. I know that's very optimistic but God works in mysterious ways.

[akamal1113]

rest and burn in hell tim. you christian warmonger bastard!

[acarmyofone]

If that's what you think of Tim Russert, you don't know anything about him. I'll miss you dearly, Mr. Russert.

[JPPT1974]

Tim was a class act and that he is still and always will be missed!

[SzmJSF]

Did Mary Hart need to wear red?

[dave997]

fuckin media vultures like entertainment tonight going to peoples funerals just to get the hot story, get some morals u bastards

[amadeus5889]

I agree. I hate ET and Extra with a passion. Tim Russert wasn't a celebrity. He was a journalist, and a damn good one.

[mankind4ever]

u know when 'free speech' was so the masses could speak against all the wrongs and injustices in society its so the masses could be heard not so u could say some invain heartless disgusting comment such as what u said thats not the 'freedom of speech i know'

[starbabe58]

rest in gods peace

[vaxarado]

Onerprone, grow up.

[atlg8or6137]

Boy, the internet really gives assholes like you a platform doesn't it? Let people mourn this guy and if you don't agree with it, just keep quiet.

[onerpone]

Go screw yourself!! Hows that for free speech?

[culture04dc]

[hamoana4]

[wittumy]

[CAinfowarrior]

Bro, be a little more respectful he did his job well and of all the corporate slobs he did his homework and stuck the knife on people with justice. RIP TIM RUSSERT.

[Swiftologist]

Jeez buddy, have a heart. I'm not some major Russert (or dot head) fan, but I try to give more than a shit about people when they die. What about his family?

[RsmvFilms]

Boy, the internet really gives assholes like you a platform doesn't it?

[hamoana4]

Buddy, this is probably as close as youre going to get to your 15mins of fame. Enjoy it....before U rot in HELL!

[TheWordCenter]

Mr. Russert will be missed. Pray for Maureen, Luke, and "Big Russ".

[Lachance8]

To Luke, I feel your pain. I just lost my Dad suddenly on June 3rd. I believe your Dad and my Dad are having a great time up in heaven talking about the crazy things happening here on earth. My prayers are with you and your family.

[pablokiddo13]

THIS MUST ALL SHIT TODAY.

[icedancer14]

I feel so bad for his family. I don't even know how big russ must feel about watching his son be buried. no parent should have to go through that agony. And his son too, just heartbreaking. and russert was only 58. my mourning goes out to the russerts. god bless them.

[TomFromJersey]

What song did Tim's brother-in-law Tony play on guitar at the end of the wake? It sounded very familiar but I couldn't place it.

[bigdummy91]

Born to Run

[TomFromJersey]

Are you sure? Someone else told me Thunder Road. I don't think it sounded like either to be honest ... but I did like it!

[bigdummy91]

The classical guitar piece at the end of the memorial by Tim's brother-in-law was "Born to Run."

Immediately after that, the Boss came on screen (probably pre-recorded) and dedicated a solo version of "Thunder Road" to Tim.
