TIM RUSSERT

But Was Tim Russert In The Tank For ‘Noobama’?

If you check out the New York Times’ comments section on its Tim Russert “death” article, you will notice most of the commenters telling a certain “Lesley” to shut her fat face for being Insensitive. But there is no longer any comment by this pagan Lesley, because the New York Times censors free speech and has deleted the comment! We have secretly obtained Lesley’s manifesto, and she has some pointed criticisms of “Lil’ Russ.” We’ll give you a hint: she says “Noobama.”

Politically and media speaking…I feel for Noobama…he has lost one of his strongest media supporters. Wonder what the media thinks about this one - and whether Noobama can make it without Russert, the media ringleader of the Noobama booster club. Maybe the media will feel freed from Russert’s stranglehold.

Life certainly is strange this particular year.

And to think that Russert died on Friday, the 13th!

Maybe some of the media nastiness of this election season will now stop.

Though I watched Meet the Press going back to the ’50s, I have not watched it in months b/c of Russert’s unabashedly biased behavior.

He is a loss as a human being, but certainly not as a TV host.

NEVER 4GET.

    This year of record voter turnout has certainly brought out the best in all of us.

    Who’s n00bama? Someone new to World of Warcraft?

  3. Gopherit v2.0 says at 5:58 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Fuck me! Hillary, it’s over!!

  4. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:59 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Right on. Death to Meet the Press (but not to “russet”).

  5. AnnieGetYourFun says at 6:02 pm, June 13th, 2008

    No, seriously, is it a play on the word “nubian”? That’s all my coworkers and I can come up with.

  6. Jamie Sommers says at 6:03 pm, June 13th, 2008

    And she didn’t even end her rant with the obligatory “What? Too soon?”

    The priest who resided at his bedside said that his last words were in a very faint whisper, obama. What does that tell you?

    — Posted by mokescren

    Didn’t he collapse and die? Fucking people.

  8. So what is she saying, that Russert got pwned by a n00b?

  9. RuperttheBear says at 6:06 pm, June 13th, 2008

    She witnessed Meet the Press traveling through time? And since when is “media” a fucking adverb?

    shortsshortsshorts: Long live the new potato flesh.

  10. I know I’m not to say the word, so I’ll just say that it rhymes with “bunt”.

  11. AnnieGetYourFun says at 6:08 pm, June 13th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: THAT is hilarious. Not even half a day goes by and the final chapter has been rewritten by every mook with access to a kompooter.

  12. Cape Clod says at 6:09 pm, June 13th, 2008

    ‘Though I watched Meet the Press going back to the ’50s’
    Oh, I get it. She’s one of those bitter old ceiling cracks.

  13. Gopherit v2.0 says at 6:11 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Tawmn: Use “twunt”. Twice the bang for your buck.

  14. iwillsavethispatient says at 6:15 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Cape Clod: Ah yes. Ceiling cracks. Normal people take the stairs or an elevator if they want to get upstairs, crazy people just bash their heads on the ceiling.

  15. Gopherit v2.0: …noted!

  16. upperleft says at 6:15 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Where is this person’s compassion? People get so caught up in the contest that they forget it is a real person they are talking about. If you make them cartoons or demonize them you stop think of them as people, and then you rot inside. Sick bitch.

  17. mordecai1908 says at 6:20 pm, June 13th, 2008

    I’ve read “Lesley’s” remark, and a similar one made at the L.A. Times message board. I’ve also read several comments on liberal blogs commenting about Russert being in the tank for the GOP. Guess that says it all about the man - he was good enough to piss off liberals and conservatives alike for perceived maltreatment of their respective heroes. Good enough for me.

  18. KevoTron says at 6:21 pm, June 13th, 2008

    I thought you guys might like my new Avatar. Classy no?

  19. Banzai77 says at 6:22 pm, June 13th, 2008

    How that Russert is out of the way, Hillary can come back and win the White House!

    AnnieGetYourFun: ‘n00b = ‘newbie’

  20. wallythepug says at 6:24 pm, June 13th, 2008

    This “Lesley” can go fuck herself, because probably no one else will. Definitely a wrinkled old Bitter.

  21. graceless says at 6:24 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Let’s not speak ill of the dead, in case they have the option of haunting us.

  22. ManchuCandidate says at 6:25 pm, June 13th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts:
    Someone watched Citizen Kane too many times.

  23. masterdebater says at 6:28 pm, June 13th, 2008

    This is just the type of person who will resent it when we dance on gas-bag Limbaugh’s grave. Not very sporting! Speaking of that, when is the old pill popper going to croak? He must be embalmed already from all the drug’s, I bet. The evil fucks never seem to get justice.

  24. PoliticalGraffiti says at 6:33 pm, June 13th, 2008

    “Russert appeared briefly in a scene on the television drama Homicide as himself” - Wikipedia

    …this must have been foreshadowing, for when someone killed Russert (perhaps Hillary, McCain?)

  25. iwillsavethispatient says at 6:35 pm, June 13th, 2008

    upperleft: mordecai1908: Yes, damn these insensitive Liberal Blog commenters

  26. graceless says at 6:36 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Lesley= HRC supporter.

  27. Gopherit v2.0 says at 6:42 pm, June 13th, 2008

    iwillsavethispatient: Yeah, but at least they Botswana and Wookee’s comments are about Russert. I can respect that, even if I don’t agree. This is a comment section of a blog, after all. This cow Leslie used someone’s death to score political points. She deserves her bitterness.

  28. bess marvin, girl detective says at 6:48 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0: i guess because my dad is close to russert’s age that i’m a little sensitive to comments calling him out so quickly after he dropped dead, but they could’ve been a least had a little class or at least waited. or is snark and bitterness all that defines us as a people nowadays? everyone is quick to yell about what they hate rather than talk about what they enjoy. tim russert fucked up in his position, yes that’s true, but sudden death like that, should befall no one. he didn’t cruelly order deaths like hitler. he was a half decent man. can we at least focus on that for a while. of course the media will overcompensate but that’s what they do. it’ll pass and then you can return to the hate. but for now, it shouldn’t be too hard for anyone to shut up about how much they hate the man.

  29. iwillsavethispatient says at 6:49 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0: Yeah, I totally agree with you, I was just trying to regain some snark. I assume Botswana / Wookie won’t take it personally!

  30. ms_mcgee says at 6:52 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Making jokes on McCain’s on-line store = Funny (and satisfying). Calling someone a twunt = Hilarious (brilliant, Gopherit v2.0). Talking shit about Russert on the day of his death: Awful. There are a lot of people I hate (current Administration), but wouldn’t start to throw a parade on the day they died. Say good riddance - quietly and to yourself. Think inside voice.

  31. Aurelio says at 6:55 pm, June 13th, 2008

    bess marvin, girl detective: “…sudden death like that, should befall no one.” Au contraire, it’s much better than the protracted kind.

  32. Canmon (the Inadequate) says at 7:01 pm, June 13th, 2008

    iwillsavethispatient: Exactly. Wonkette needs to look in its own comments section before ridiculing the New York Times’.

  33. lumpenprole says at 7:07 pm, June 13th, 2008

    bess marvin, girl detective:

    Sudden death for me please. Preferably in my 80s.

  34. Cicada says at 7:07 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Aurelio: Not for his family. I’ve gone through both types of deaths with loved ones, and the sudden unexpected death was much harder to deal with. The protracted one was also hard, but we got a chance to say goodbye.

  35. Gopherit v2.0 says at 7:07 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Canmon (the Inadequate): HIllary, take the pills. This kind of pent-up rage isn’t healthy.

    Or should I call you…..Lesley? Either way, same advice.

  36. Matthew Crunt says at 7:08 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Billo, you’re next FATASS!

  37. Gormogon says at 7:08 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Don’t worry Mr Newell, you’re still way gayer for Obama than Potato-head ever was. Even if Barry pulls a Sinclair on Tim’s corpse, you still have the edge here. A real champ!

  38. Gopherit v2.0 says at 7:09 pm, June 13th, 2008

    lumpenprole: your 80s or 2080s? I’ve dibs on the second. Oh yeah, and in the saddle, too, because dying at work is too depressing.

  39. Gormogon says at 7:10 pm, June 13th, 2008

    ms_mcgee: Even Cheney? C’mon… no ding dong the Cheney’s dead?! Wake up, wake up you sleepy head!

  40. Gopherit v2.0 says at 7:11 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Gormogon: “heh-heh. You’re GAY Jim. Nyah! Cower! Cower before my superior wit!”

  41. AnnieGetYourFun says at 7:12 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Banzai77: Yeah, I’m enough of a nerd to know what a “noob” is (or more correctly, a n00b), but I wasn’t under the impression that that was what Lesley was implying. Could be wrong, though.

  42. SayItWithWookies says at 7:14 pm, June 13th, 2008

    iwillsavethispatient: Oh I don’t take it personally — of course I don’t think I said anything particularly hateful about him either. The instant hagiography doesn’t help my attitude though. It would be a lot easier to maintain a respectful silence about his flaws if the past few hours weren’t filled with eulogies that made him out to be Moses.
    Oh, and speaking of which — is it not too soon to say that John Ritter never made me laugh? Whew, that felt good.

  43. Cicada says at 7:14 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Canmon (the Inadequate): I think it was the crassness of the politicization of his death in the context of the NYT that made it ripe for ridicule.

    Wonkette just doesn’t have the same level of gravitas (sorry Jim!). All the same, some of the comments here were in questionable taste.

    Oh the moral conundrum!

  44. Cicada says at 7:16 pm, June 13th, 2008

    AnnieGetYourFun: I think it’s No Obama, without the space.

  45. SocialList says at 7:16 pm, June 13th, 2008

    mordecai1908: Exactly.As much as Russert could piss me off at times,he was the only journalist that I could unequivocally say was an honest person,with no bias.

  46. Cicada says at 7:18 pm, June 13th, 2008

    SayItWithWookies: I disagree! John Ritter was hilarious in Sling Blade.

  47. shortsshortsshorts says at 7:21 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Cicada: When “gravitas” is a Wonkette standard, I’ll start sending Ron Paul checks.

  48. Gormogon says at 7:22 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0: Being “gay for” somebody isn’t really a slur on homosexuality inasmuch as it’s an insult regarding someone’s blatant hero-worship and total lack of objectivity. Like, Jon Stewart was prety frikkin “gay for Kerry” in 2004, but that’s not like saying he’s homosexual.

  49. gurukalehuru says at 7:22 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Actually, I’m kind of with Lesley on this one.
    Sure, it’s sad that someone died, and at only 58, but they’re talking on TV like he was Edward R. Murrow or Walter Cronkite or something, and he wasn’t.
    I wouldn’t say this anywhere else, but this is Wonkette. It’s where I come when I want to be an asshole.

  50. jasonelias says at 7:24 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Lesley seems like one lonely gal…

  51. Gormogon says at 7:24 pm, June 13th, 2008

    PoliticalGraffiti: “Homicide: Life on the Streets” was a great show (for network TV). One of the characters (a female detective/Sargeant) was named Russert, eventually revealed as a cousin of potatoface.

    Of course, “The Wire,” from the same creator and much of the production staff, was an even better television show.

  52. Cicada says at 7:26 pm, June 13th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: Point taken ;). I would hate to see your paychecks go to fund the Magical Constitution Blimp.

  53. Gopherit v2.0 says at 7:29 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Gormogon: You must have watched The Daily Show in Bizarro world. I don’t even think Mrs Kerry liked John.

    Objectivity on a blog? You, my friend, must be new tho these intertubes.

    You probably should have said something more mature, like “If you love Barry so much, why don’t you marry him!!!”

  54. Cicada says at 7:29 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Gormogon: Your qualification is totally gay.

  55. Gopherit v2.0 says at 7:29 pm, June 13th, 2008

    jasonelias: But would you hit it?

  56. shortsshortsshorts says at 7:31 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Also, I don’t see how being critical of someone right after they die is any different than being critical of them in two weeks, which most of you will be anyway. Unless you knew him closely or something, it’s (arguably) as legitimate as say, any of us getting the ax.

  57. Gopherit v2.0 says at 7:32 pm, June 13th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: If wonkette ever asks you for “gravitas” shorts, just tell them to eat a bag of dicks. We’ll all be sitting back cheering.

  58. Gormogon says at 7:34 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Cicada: What a horrible thing to say. You are obviously an anti-semite and/or homophobe or something. Does the ADL monitor Wonkette:?

  59. Cicada says at 7:36 pm, June 13th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: I think it has to do with custom, and respect for others that may be grieving. You wait awhile so that the emotions are less raw.

  60. ronaldpagan says at 7:37 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Banzai77: Oh I get it! I thought it was just Nobama with an added dramatic “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!”

  61. DoctorCulturae says at 7:39 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Jeebus… no wonder… He looked so odd in those last shows, like when Hopey went over the limit… Remember he was kind of teary and looked kind of bloated and confused… Goes to show you these things creep up on you, there are warnings… sorry, no teh funny or teh snark.

  63. agingboomerguy says at 7:44 pm, June 13th, 2008

    I guess that consummate professional journalist Chris Matthews will have to fill the big guy’s slippers at MSNBC.

  64. tsunami says at 7:45 pm, June 13th, 2008

    bess marvin, girl detective: amen.

    since i’m your father’s age, and you seem to understand
    about life i’ll tell you something.

    unless the dier is a real evil piece of shit, your instinct to take
    a time out and reflect on life…life itself..and to think about the effect
    of this knd of thing happening to you or a loved one, and to have some
    sympathy for the people it did happen to is right on.

    sorry to be preachy and sorry that i called tim a gasbag last week.

  65. shortsshortsshorts says at 7:51 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Gormogon: Remember when “gay for kids” was not just a Republican platform, but an innocent mid-century tag line?

  66. Preppy Bastard says at 7:52 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Lesley probably wandered over from Hillaryis44.org, where the comments have been of the classy variety about “karma” striking down both Russert and Iowa (which is under water right now because God is a Clinton support.)

  67. shortsshortsshorts says at 7:53 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Cicada: I’m just impatient, I suppose. *waiting*…

  68. hazmaq says at 7:53 pm, June 13th, 2008

    As a hardened Lefty, I say thank you to FOX, ABC, CBS, CSPAN and NBC for all the decent signs of respect you paid to the loss of a fellow colleague, and someone the public greatly respected.

    That said, I send a big FUCK YOU to CNN, LOU DOBBS and GLEN BECK, who barely interrupted their Mexican bashing to honor the guy.

    In all the years I watched Russert, I never went away feeling I saw anything but a good journalist who did his homework, was good to his colleagues, loved his job and loved his Dad.

    CNN is dead. Not Tim Russert.

  69. Cicada says at 7:59 pm, June 13th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: I sympathize! If O’Reilly kicks it, I may have to stay away from my computer for a day. That mofo doesn’t get more than 24 hours, though.

  70. shortsshortsshorts says at 8:05 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Cicada: One can only dream at this point. Sooooooon….

  71. Neilist says at 8:12 pm, June 13th, 2008

    And on that note, this breaking news:

    Benazir Bhutto is STILL deader than the battery of that crumpled 1986 Yugo her forehead resembled after impacting with the open hatch of that SUV . . . .

  72. It is newbie, NEWBIE, you non-yod pronouncing Americans!

  73. bess marvin, girl detective says at 8:28 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Aurelio: that is true, i guess i mean how the unexpected death will affect his family. no one wants a drawn out process, but abruptness can be just as cruel

  74. Noobama for the Noosphere.

  75. ronaldpagan says at 8:32 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Cicada: If O’Reilly kicks it, I won’t be anywhere near the computer, because I will be out cavorting naked in the streets…

    Neilist: …and not to be a hypocrite, but fuck off.

  76. Gopherit v2.0 says at 8:38 pm, June 13th, 2008

    ronaldpagan: Yup. I’ll have a fine irish wake and then piss on his grave. Cuz, you know, he’s evil.

  77. ronaldpagan says at 8:42 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0: There’s no party like the party you throw when a hateful, vindictive asshole dies. I still have the fondest memories of May 15, 2007.

  78. Gopherit v2.0 says at 8:49 pm, June 13th, 2008

    ronaldpagan: Me, too. I cracked a bottle of good whiskey just for him. I knew how much he’d have liked that.

  79. ronaldpagan says at 8:57 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0: I celebrated with a gay dance party and impulse abortion!

  80. Makeithurt says at 9:11 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Couln’t agree more with Lesley. Certainly wished the man no harm but holy crap what a bunch of crappy journalism he was pumping out.

  81. Democratica says at 9:18 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Tim Russert died doing what he loved after watching his child graduate from college and vacationing in Europe. If that isn’t the biggest Fuck You to the Lesley’s everywhere, then I don’t know what is. We should all be so lucky.

  82. agingboomerguy says at 9:27 pm, June 13th, 2008

    From The Aria of Chris Matthews, Mark Leibovich, NYT Magazine, April 13, 2008:

    “Tim — as in Russert, the inquisitive jackhammer host of “Meet the Press” — is a particular obsession of Matthews’s. Matthews craves Russert’s approval like that of an older brother. He is often solicitous. On the morning of the Cleveland debate, Matthews was standing in the lobby of the Ritz when Russert walked through, straight from a workout, wearing a sweat-drenched Buffalo Bills sweatshirt, long shorts and black rubber-soled shoes with tube socks. “Here he is; here he is, the man,” Matthews said to Russert, who smiled and chatted for a few minutes before returning to his room. (An MSNBC spokesman, Jeremy Gaines, tried, after the fact, to declare Russert’s outfit “off the record.”)”

    (From The Aria of Chris Matthews, Mark Leibovich, NYT Magazine, April 13, 2008)

  83. graceless says at 9:32 pm, June 13th, 2008

    agingboomerguy: Tim Russert, God rest his soul, worked out?

  84. Where is all this hate for Russert coming from. If you’re going to say he was biased, or just crappy, use specific examples so there can be an actual dialogue. Point to a youtube video, or article, or something to show your not making shit up because he interviewed some one you liked in an aggressive manner. If you can’t find examples, you might just be full of it yourself.

  85. DoctorCulturae says at 9:46 pm, June 13th, 2008

    kile: Amen.

  86. WadISay says at 9:47 pm, June 13th, 2008

    If Bill O’Reilly or one of the Fox bims kicks the bucket tomorrow, I trust Lesley will be equally classy.

  87. kile: I like Tim Russert’s big head and the way he looked and so, I gather, did his producers and the public…and I hate to do this really, but since you asked, check out what Eric Boehlert had to say about (RIP) Russert and how he aided and abetted in the murder of thousands of his fellow Americans and uncounted others:

    This is from http://www.democracynow.org/2006/6/7/how_the_press_rolled_over_for

    AMY GOODMAN: Other journalists?

    ERIC BOEHLERT: Who else do I talk about? Well, Tim Russert is famous for his closeness with the Rumsfelds and the Cheneys. He’s had exclusive access, almost exclusive access, to Dick Cheney for the first four years in terms of “Meet the Press.”

    AMY GOODMAN: Well, you know, you talk about him being famous for this and all these different journalists and relationships. Most people in the country know nothing about this.

    ERIC BOEHLERT: Yeah. As I point out in the book, if you’re not part of the beltway culture, if you don’t follow it professionally, you don’t know that these people are all sort of having cocktails and hanging out and buddy, buddy.

    AMY GOODMAN: Well, talk about this, because you point out in the book, the whole interaction in the debate between John Edwards and Dick Cheney, the vice presidential debate

    ERIC BOEHLERT: Right, right, right. It was one of the famous moments from the vice presidential debate. Dick Cheney, his big one-liner that night was when John Kerry walked onto the debate stage—

    AMY GOODMAN: Edwards

    ERIC BOEHLERT: I’m sorry—Edwards walked onto the debate stage. Dick Cheney said, “This is the first time I’ve ever met you,” and the clear implication was that Edwards was a, you know, total newcomer, wasn’t up to the vice president’s—for the job. But he had met him. As we learned almost immediately after the debate, they had met three previous times, and one of the times was on “Meet The Press.” But right after the debate, Tim Russert goes on TV and talks about the debate, talks about this putdown that Cheney had unleashed on Edwards and never explains that they met on his show, and he knew they met on his show, and he just sort of played dumb all night while people talked about Dick Cheney’s sort of devastating putdown. It just doesn’t make any sense. If you know that, why don’t you talk about it? And again, at the time Russert had incredibly good access to Dick Cheney and the White House so maybe that explains why he sort of looked the other way.

  88. crankypants says at 10:08 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Very sad for his family and all, and on Father’s Day weekend, too. But he was a fat pantload of crap and an embarassment on teevee. He asked Dennis Kucinich if he had ever seen a UFO. He would always ask the most base pointless National Enquirer type questions because he had the hyena mentality that most media types do in the country now. Pandering to the masses instead of enlightening them. RIP.

  89. 1ofUS: Thank you! That’s exactly what I’m looking for… I did a google search to see why people hate Russert and all I could come up with is people who love Ron Paul or Hillary Clinton acting bitter.

    I’ve been watching Meet the Press for a long time now and have quite enjoyed his gotcha moments. In my enjoyment, I forget that you have to give something to be able to get the kind of interviews he did. But when he asked President Bush if the war in Iraq was necessary and the Presidents eyes kinda glazed over into a blank expression, or when he had this interview with Cheney where he pushes the lack of a link between Iraq and 9/11, it almost makes up for it.

    Can’t we just lay off the fat bilious fuck so he can begin his journey through decomposition in peace? No I guess we can’t.

    How ironic that his fascination with blue stained dresses helped lead him to a lifestye that probably involved near daily imbibement of fatty red meats, of the rarest and most delicate varieties. Life’s a bitch that way.

    kile: Uh…kile? Just because he pretended to be tough with Republican administration officials in no way diverted my attention from the enormous amount of time he spent being a raging asshole toward any progressive he felt he could safely lampoon. Pardon me for not rattling about on a hamster wheel for your edification. I don’t give a shit if I change your mind or not. You asked for an explanation? There you have it.

  92. Well fuck you too Mr Blifil.

    It is def time for a buttsex story now.

  95. Mr Blifil: Yes, I asked for an explanation, and you provided the ramblings of an angry crazy person. You do any point you could possibly make a great amount of injustice by making blanketed comments and provide no real information.

    Except for the whole blue dress thing, which you clearly believe was all Russerts fault. By the way, thanks for the late 90’s reference, way to keep up to date.
