Thousands Pay Respects to Tim Russert

[jazeyedgirl]

I want to say something negative b/c of what his wife said about Michael Jackson, but I not going to be as pitiful as she is. RIP Tim! You have poor taste in women but one hell of a journalist.

[MrDakman]

Michael Jackson was a pedophile you moron!!!

[jazeyedgirl]

did he personally f*** you in the ass? if not, i choose to believe he was not.

sorry you can't convince me with you're hash words and exclamations!!!

there are bullshit journalist out there who are full of shit...like this women...moron!!!.

[MrDakman]

Look STUPID, if MJ fucked me in the ass he would not be a pedophile because I am not a kid idiot... There was OVERWHELMING evidence against MJ, if it were not for his money and fame, he would have rotted in jail... Open up your star struck eyes and look at him as just your neighbor down the street sexually abusing YOUR child and I will bet you would be out to kill him!!! I think I know the answer, but would you let your 5 yo child sleep in the same bed with MJ??? Cant wait to hear this answer...

[TheFutureUnquiet]

It would have been so romantic if teleprompter-readers Tom Brokaw & Tim Russert had died in each others arms.

[JPPT1974]

Tim never gave special treatment to anybody no matter who they were. That is what I love about Tim and will miss Tim!

[robyn7465]

Yes, he was a very good man, he came to my fathers funeral back in '96. My father also worked at the NBC studio in Washington. To Zardoz comment down below, the networks have an agenda, not the people who work for those networks. You'd be surprised to know that they all respect one another. To say people were the 'best' at this and that after someone dies is so cliche. But in Tim Russert's case, its so incredibly true!

rest in peace

The establishment mouthpiece, editor of Pravda, has died! All patriotic citizens must pay respects from noon to 3pm for the next four days of state endorsed, mandated mourning. Remember when Russert tried to derail Ron Paul by asking him about the Civil War, which Paul has never spoken about, instead of his stance on Iraq? What a blowhard! Good riddance Russert! May you rot in hell!

[bandman48]

What this country lacked.. except for Tim... was a open minded QUESTIONING of all sides of an issue. Some will need to fill that one for us. It sure in hell isn't FOX NEWS!

[777profit]

FOLLOW JESUS ,Gods judgment is VERY near...

[wntoply6]

the truth 777profit, is god's judgement is only as near as one's personal death, not as you war/fear mongering so called "christians" say that the "end of times" is near.

at every historical event people like you have said it is the end of times, & at each & every one of these events you've been WRONG!

as older generations realize your bullshit, you prey on the younger generations, lying to them too about the "end of times".

don't you ever get tired of lying in god's name? you lying idiot!

[ricks1019]

RIP Mr Russert.

[DryWetTowel]

[chopath]

DryWetTowel your an asshole

[wntoply6]

what crystal ball told you idiot drywettowel, that russert supported obama.

even the people who he worked with didn't know...so idiot, how the hell do you proport to know? tell us what inside information do you have, idiot liar!

[wittumy]

Dude...

[delphi7000]

Mr Russert you will be missed and your shoes will be impossible for the rogues' gallery of the MSM to fill.

[Zardoz125]

Plans are underway for the Pope to canonize him. As the flood waters are receding in Iowa,people are said to be seeing his image on the side of buildings.

[Nominay]

Sounds like you're missing the point. I love how people look for some excuse in a tradegy to rationalize being a real jerk, like yourself here.

[phie777]

Hey Zardoz125

The reason he is getting so much attention is because he was a man of deep integrity, intelligence and commitment - something sorely lacking in public figures today and especially in the journalism field. So don't shit on that for crying out loud!! He is a real loss for those of us who value truth and jornalism that went beyond the sound bite and fancy graphic.

[Zardoz125]

While I am sorry he died....I find the pontification by his colleagues distasteful. Truth in journalism died decades ago. Everyone in the media today has an agenda.

[phie777]

Hi Zardoz,

Thanks for your reply. I think you raise some interesting issues. Keep in mind there has never been absolute lack of bias in the media. I mean look at the rag sheets of the turn of the century. They were very biased. Not that this is good thing. They should strive for arms length objectivity.

Can you give us some examples of where Russert showed an agenda - perhaps I and others aren't fully aware of this.
