TIM Russert's body wasn't even cold in the ground before MSNBC anchors Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann started jockeying for his job, sources claim.
Matthews was heard loudly discussing what seemed to be his strategy for landing Russert's "Meet the Press" show at Wednesday's memorial reception for the NBC Washington bureau chief at the Kennedy Center in DC. After Brian Williams, Carl Bernstein, David Gergen, Barbara Walters and NBC brass eulogized their friend, Matthews huddled with an unidentified "agent type" and seemed to be plotting...

Sometimes I feel like I do.
As an aside and off topic, did you happen to catch BOR last night? There was a segment with Bernie and whats her name about a mayonnaise commercial in the UK.
It was obviously a homosexual based ad but these two insisted it was anything but. I mean two guys living together with two kids. A girl calls one guy mom while he's fixing breakfast and sends the kids off to. The other guy appears in a haste to leave for work only to get called back so they can kiss good by. Then he says good by sweet cheeks as he's walking out the door. And this is not a homo commercial!!
Yeah, sometimes I really do think I need a shrink.
Sorry for the rant but your shrink comment reminded me of that show last night
Chelsea Handler is a filthy mouth so-called comedian who got her 'show' on E! by sleeping with the boss. She is dating (living with) Ted Harbert, who, as the CEO of Comcast Entertainment Group, oversees E! Entertainment Television.
See what you mean, did a Google on her. Guess she’s giving the kitty away to climb the ladder. How special, not bad looking though too bad she dosn’t have any brains.
Okay, we okay?
Just fine, I like a good debate ;^)
My bet is that the powers that be of NBC are already thinking of buying Chris Wallace with a big fat check.
Brokaw can barely enunciate his words any more and Wallace comes from a good liberal family and is an excellent interviewer.
My prediction:
Bryant Gumbel.
NBC Background, recently depated from his NFL Network play-by-play gig.
Um, Rush is hot! I want to find a poster of him to hang in my bedroom next to my rocker & rollers, LOL!
