This breaking news just in! Tim Russert is still dead!

[backscatter712]

Is the MSM going to fixate on this all week? :eyes:

Just completely shameless.

[SoCalDem]

1. National day of Mourning for the funeral, no doubt. n/t

[K Gardner]

26. I just read that "nationwide news coverage will be stopped" for the funeral.. ROFL ! Thank god, its

going to be "closed to the public", which means we'll have to watch an outside shot of the church and the car procession, I suppose.

[Barack_America]

2. Are you going to fixate on the MSM all week?

It's not like their mourning the loss of their colleague is interrupting information-packed regular programming. Considering their regular programming is anything but information-packed.

Let them mourn. If you're sick of it, watch/read something else.


Edited: grammar

[Canuckistanian]

14. God, I hope there isn't a SLOW horse carriage burial procession

With HOURS of dead air time to fill.....

[Carnea]

30. I believe they are using the Buffalo Bills field cart.

[Raven]

3. I haven't been watching but is there that much to say or are they

just repeating stuff?

[Dr.Phool]

4. Damn! Are you sure? Who would'a thunk it?

[OffWithTheirHeads]

5. Oh my God! Should we send him flowers?

Can we bury the motherfucker now?

[AlCzervik]

6. turn it off?

[arcadian]

7. They should use Tim Russert's corpse in a Benny Hill style skit.

You know? Andrea Mitchell, Tom Brokaw and Stone Philipps pretending like they are paddling his bloated body down a ski slope with the frames speeded up and the Benny Hill music in the background or some such shit.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

16. You need to take a break from the MSM and watch

Weekend at Bernies... just a thought.

[arcadian]

19. Weekend at Timmehs

That's what this MSM lovefest has turned into.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

20. Ayeeeeeeh!!!!! n/t

[TBF]

8. Heh. That's what you get for watching the MSM. ;) But you did make me LOL with that title so

I'll give you a kick for that!

[lonestarnot]

9. Riderless black horse drawn procession next week.

[Individualist]

11. ...followed by placing his likeness on Mount Rushmore

[lonestarnot]

12. And erecting numerous statues in hundreds of public places all bearing flags and wearing flag pins.

[kath]

34. ooh, I mentioned earlier on another thread that I couldn't wait to see the riderless black horse

with the backward stirrups. WOOT!

what about the muffled drums?

Ix-nay on the flag-draped casket, though. Seems Timmy was a Chickenhawk:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Russert

I'm shocked, shocked, I say. He was SOOOOO patriotic. And he loved war so much. Maybe the internets are lying about our brave patriot.

[PSPS]

10. DU needs a new hideable "GD:TR" group

[lpbk2713]

13. "This just in ... "

[NanceGreggs]

15. Thanks for the update.

Any news on Generalissimo Francisco Franco?

Just wonderin' ... :shrug:

[backscatter712]

21. He's still dead.

Doctors say his condition has stabilized and isn't expected to deteriorate any further.

[dipsydoodle]

17. That's not a very nice thing to say

Shouldn't speak ill of the dead.

[backscatter712]

22. Hey, I'm being respectful!

Since his death, I've refrained from calling him Mr. Potato Head. It sure wasn't easy though.

[BlooInBloo]

18. Clearly we need a full month of St. Timmeh of Russert.

[Carnea]

23. You know the football championships are on....

And honestly doesn't MSNBC do twelve hour prison rape marathons on Sunday anyway?

Seriously change the channel. BBC America has great coverage of the floods and there are local stations streaming online.

The all news channels are bloated dinosaurs. Seriously outside of CNBC the so called cable news audience is prisoners, people stuck in a waiting room at a tire store, and the near dead who can't find the remote. (And the near dead are watching golf this weekend).

[madrchsod]

24. university of iowa has 17 buildings taking on water

and people in cedar rapids are wiping their asses with baby wipes and the toilets are.....but russert is still dead

oh yes it`s still raining today across the area...but russert is still dead

[Towlie]

25. Please don't spoil it for me.

I want to hear all about in on MSNBC next July.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

27. However, Abe Vigoda is still alive!

[ruggerson]

31. and the fundies don't believe in evolution

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

28. Is The Resurrection scheduled for Prime Time?

[formercia]

29. I hope it was the truth that killed him.

He was complicit in feeding us the propaganda that led us to an illegal war of aggression that caused the unnecessary deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people.

I hope Tim Russert rots in whatever Hell was his reality.

[Sewsojm]

32. Agreed,

he was a Bush enabler and I have No Sympathy for him or his family and before any of you jump on me you better ask yourselves if Timmy or anyone of his family would give a Rats Ass about you or your family. Its way past time that the people in the media honor their responsibility to tell the truth to the people instead of taking sides with whomever is going to help them financially.

[Brigid]

33. And Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead too.

Just thought I'd update you. :evilgrin:
