I know he was a lib,

Tim was NOT a liberal. He would be insulted to be called that. He was just a typical South Buffalo democrat. Born and raised that way. Great Americans all. I live in Buffalo and I will attest to that. Wrong on most things political but great Americans. Salt of the earth. We are a poorer nation for his loss.

That’s right, duh. I knew that. I immediately thought of cigarettes, not cigars. Thanks.

Closet Conservative??

More like Classic Democrat ... think Scoop Jackson or Daniel Patrick Moynihan.

“In perhaps one of the more uncomfortable moments in recent Meet the Press history, Clinton campaign co-chair Terry McAuliffe insinuated on Sunday that host Tim Russert’s father was dead. He isn’t.”

Clinton insinuations should be taken as threats. Like the whole Bobbie-Kennedy-was-assassinated remark should be taken as a threat to Obama.

Rush quit smoking years ago - did he start up again?


Does cigars count in your book for smokes?......

No, just a patriotic democrat. Seem few and far between these days.

That was going to be my answer. I yelled at some of his MTP softball questions, but he held my respect as a person.

Man! I wouldn’t even wish that on Keith Olbermann.

God be with him and his family.

Wasn't he involved in the Valerie Plame case as a witness? I seem to remember that he gave false testimony that helped convict an innocent Scooter Libby. On the other hand, he seemed to be the type of lib that you could have a political discussion with, without (him) resorting to insults and msm talking points. He was what he was- a man loyal to his party. I never wished anything bad on him.

R.I.P. Tim.

Prayers for the family, including “Big Russ”. Sad when people bury a child.

Condolences to his wife and son.
Tim Russert wasn't my favorite news reporter but he was only moderately liberal and a guy it seemed hard to dislike.
Gone too soon at 58 years old.

Sums up the feeling in our house too. RIP, Mr. Russert...

Sean Hannity just mentioned something...really cryptic. Didn’t say exactly what the story was.

Possibly the stinking commie murderer Keith Olbermann?

Russert was a News Bureau Chief. Olbermann is a Minister Of Propaganda. They have as much in common as stalactites and waffles. If you thought DNC-TV/MS-LSD was careening madly to the left before, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

Todays is also my brothers’ birthday.

You wouldn't happen to be one of my brothers or sisters secretly FReeping would you? Today is my birthday.

God Bless Tim and his family.

Olbermann is the worst of them all. Not one ounce of decency in that man. As much as Matthews is a partisan jerk, he even outshines him.

Sadly, a patriotic Democrat IS a Closet Conservative!!
