He took great offense at people who didn't, treated the show lightly and had great respect for those who even though they tripped up gave a sense a preparation.Still, while this show was a deemed a celebration of Russert's life and work it was clear that the mourning period is not over.The flag outside the studios in Washington flew at half staff and his coworkers and colleagues shared hugs as they filtered in and offered words of praise as they left.SOT Elanor CliftThat set is weird without Tim.SOT Pat Buchanan He was a great guy he had an infectious sense of humor he loved the work he was doingSOT BrokawHe raised the level of political dialogue in this country.

onerpone Says:
Jun 17, 2008 - Who the hell gives 3 shits about Tim Russert? he was just another over paid talking head hack. Journalist my balls, the news has been canceled for at least 20 years. I hope he rots in hell for what he did to Hillary Clinton with that stupid immigration question. You didn't hear him ask McCain, Obama or even Bush the same question with all 3 in fact being very pro illegal alien. We Americans have got to stop taking these media talking monkeys so seriously

Jun 17, 2008 - People Die, Enough of Russert. Talk about floods and wordly things. Or lets talk about the other 10,000 people that died over the weekend. Enough coverage. I know more about Russert than members in my own family. Who cared about him 4 days ago? Wag the dog!

Jun 22, 2008 - I think it is so so sad that Oldermanns inability to get ratings on MSNBC drove poor Tim Russert to death
dgreen002 Says:
Jun 24, 2008 - Russert was more important than those 10000 chinese people who died in a flood. they all look the same :-/ Russert was one of the 100 most influential people in the world. That's why it's a big deal. The chinese kill their own children if it's not a boy, they have reproduction limits, they don't care about their own lives...why shoudld we. They will continue to reproduce like rats, don't worry. Point being, there will only ever be ONE Tim Russert.

Jul 14, 2008 - Tim would have been very disappointed that as you were trying to pay him a dear compliment that you had to add hatred to your message. Your comment is very sad.

Aug 21, 2008 - He was a an intelligent guy, down to earth and a great father to his only son. People loved this man, who cares if you don't.
JesusJones12321 Says:
Oct 19, 2008 - How can some of you be so full of shit?!? Tim Russert is dead! You either speak good things about a dead person... or you shut the **** up!!! He happens to be a good guy, who loved his dad, his son, and was so proud of his Buffalo up-bringing, and his connection to Upstate NY. Even though I never met him, I could feel from his presence in front of the cam that he was a cool guy, believing in his family, and the job he was doing. Let your hatred go to hell, and remember him as a good man!
kvbasel Says:
Oct 20, 2008 - He was an outstanding personality. America lost one of its best journalists. We'll always remember him when we watch meet the press on NBC.

Jan 4, 2009 - He was a lowlife commie newswhore. The world will be a better place when we eliminate them all. This show is where the elites reveal what they plan to do to us next. They are the enemy. Wake up sheeple. Don't understand? Follow my links. Read the quotes page first. Then share.

Jun 16, 2008 - TylerNull, You might want to get a hobby. I rarely come on youtube. I did a few months ago and saw these same type comments from you. If you put as much effort in your relationships with loved ones as you do with your posts, you would be a loved man. Also, radio is old media. One of thy oldest of media. Right talk dominates politcal talk radio. Keeping you honest:)
