Russert Boogies With 'The Boss' at Pro-Kerry Concert Et tu, Tim? NBC Washington bureau chief Tim Russert regularly wins plaudits from conservatives because he often grills his Democrat "Meet the Press" guests with the same tenacity as he does his Republican victims.
But the NBC news star let his veil of objectivity slip a bit Monday night when he was seen boogying down at rehearsals for Bruce Springsteen's "Vote for Change" finale concert in Washington, D.C. At the pre-show run-through, the NBC pit bull was spotted "dancing in the aisle as he sang along to Bruce Springsteen's songs," reports the New York Daily News. Attending Springsteen's musical Kerry rallies is considered a major journalistic no-no at many of the nation's daily newspapers, including the Washington Post, which has ordered its employees to steer clear of the "Vote for Change" performances. No such edict, however, has apparently been issued at NBC.

Send this to Hannity and Rush so they do not kiss his big fat liberal butt anymore.
Wonder what Russet thinks of the movie Stolen Valor?
Just whom do they hope to change in DC?
Better to see them do the "Dance of the Dead" on Nov. 3rd.
Can't wait.
I rue the days I have seen Sprungstream in concert and have purchased his friggin albums, he's the bos all right a communist boss...why couldn't he keep his big yap shut...pisses me off to no end
Can't fault russert for enjoying himself. I just have a hard time picturing russert 'boogying."
NBC Washington bureau chief Timmy "I Hate America" Russert is a left-wing, wacko, liberal-demokkkRAT-socialist-commie-nazi, brown-nosed, subhuman butt-boy.
this was from the Twin CIties concert, right?
Stipes was reported to have said on stage there: "we're with
you Dan Rather".
proof that drugs do kill brain cells.
Russert must have a great makeup artist for Meet the Press.
I fault him too......Hes on the air on Meet The Press, supposedly unbiased in their guests and comments...we all know he's a Lib but this throws it in our face .. JUST LIKE ABC....which we let get by and they are flauting that very fact in our face now, double checking every single word Pres Bush says and giving Kerry a pass....they arent "afraid" of the pajama gooofs they said.....guess Russert has taken that attitude also since ABC didnt get dogged on it.....
when I fist read this , this morning, I sent a bunch of emails to these names along with the blurb I had:

The Dixie Chicks' lead singer cost the girl group some conservative fans after telling a London audience last year that they were "ashamed [that] the President of the United States is from Texas." But she recanted nothing Monday night at the Vote for Change concert for Sen. John Kerry in Washington.
"People have asked me [if she felt bad for not apologizing to George W. Bush] in every city on the tour," Maines said. "But, you know, if I changed my mind ... President Bush might just call me a flip-flopper, and we wouldn't want that!"
Meg Ryan and Susan Sarandon were in the audience - but serious NBC journalist Tim Russert had left after rehearsal, where he was seen dancing in the aisle as he sang along to Bruce Springsteen's songs.
I can only hope that the next Republican Timmy interviews asks him why he saw fit to attend a pro Kerry concert. Can Timmy say duh, duh, duh?
