Comments on: D.C. Elite Pay Tribute To Russert

Journalists, Politicians And Family Gather To Mourn The Respected Host Of "Meet The Press"

Timmeh was not a journalist. He was borne and created by the cable nooze powers that choose what we shall hear.

I feel no sympathy. He yammered about Clinton''s peccadilloes with a prurient and salivating breathlessness, not knowing he was party to ushering in the debacle now known and Bush&Co%u2019s looting of the US Treasury and Executive power grab.

The tributes are an attempt to ask for forgiveness of the sins of the players in the MSM.

I never met Tim Russert but I know that he would have defended the small minded folks writing in.

Actually, I suspect that Timmy wouldn''t give a rats a$$ if he heard that you or I or the other "small minded" people you talk about were dead. He''s a fu(kinG journalist! Or was. Why does he merit a week of these lame-as$ stories.

How stupid, what are you going to say next? That it was Walter Cronkite''s fault we were in Viet Nam? Some of the comments here are absolutely shameful.

I''''m going to say this once. One of the media''''s biggest stories on the news tonight was about the media. Why? I thought the job of the media was to report the real news, not memorialize one of their own.

And I''m going to say this once, you are a selfish heartless person! This WAS news! Of course they should memorialize one of their own, especially someone as influential as Tim Russert! Besides, on his own network NBC, it was the last story in the newscast, so it hardly took away from more ''important'' stories!

A touching tribute lacking one thing. A real news reporter with guts enough to expose the fact that BIG NEWS sold out to the Military Industrial Complex. Making it possible for the Bush crime family to get away with fraud in two elections for president, plus the many lies before and after 9/11/01. Unless Americans regain a free and open press, we might as well kiss freedom goodbye.

God Bless Tim Russert. Our hearts and prayers go out to Maureen, Luke, "Big Russ" and other family at the loss of such a beloved and strong family man. We were deeply shocked and saddened by the passing of Tim. He was such a part of our American culture, who had the gift of finding the truth from even the hard core "politicians" who were no match for his tenacity at gaining the truth. Sunday mornings will not be the same, but Tim, God has called you home and know that you will continue to live in our memories and hearts forever.

So when can we see the tax returns?

Why the long wait to see the tax returns?

Blah, blah, blah.

Oh, he''s catholic?

And irish too?

Well then he did good to hold down a job
that wasn''t with the mafia.

What a great tribute that he mentored Katie
Curic and Maria Shriver.

Could he have also mentored Ben Stein?

Anyway, I always thought "Timmy", as those that knew
him well called him, looked a lot like the
Peter from the show "Family Guy"

Outwest, pardon me if I seem a little bitter because the honor of my country and my Flag is in the toilet, over 4,000 fine young people are dead for nothing, the Bush Adminstration trashes the law and Constitution with impunity, enriches defense contractors at the exense of a supine people, slaps its collective knee in glee over oil prices and plays many people for fools.

Tim Russert helped them do that.
