Bob On Tim

CBS' Bob Schieffer, who "butted heads" with NBC's Tim Russert as competitors for nearly two decades, took a few minutes today at the end of Face The Nation, to remember Russert as a newsman who did things "the old fashioned way."

This non-stop coverage of Tim Russert is very disturbing. Hundreds of thousands of human beings have died b/c of our gov.'s illegal war and that has not adequately been investigated.
Some people have talked about Russert's short life. What about the children in Iraq and the nineteen and twenty year old soldiers?
I think this making Russert so important is also about a group of people who are scared we are about to get rid of them b/c of their complicity in selling the war.
MSNBC and all the" corporation news" are looking even more unbalanced.

MSNBC's tribute today of Tim Russert was so deserved. I know my Sunday breakfast will never be the same. Can't think of a single person in the media today that could feel his shoes. Go in peace Tim you will be missed.

lionizing a liar! done, of course, by another shill.

It would be nice to see a disclaimer from uncle bob her that his brother works for the boosh crime family.

I don't know the details of Tim's death, but a thought occurs. Perhaps organisations like NBC could find it practical to keep medical emergency response providers and/or equipment close at hand? If that is impractical, perhaps they could review their methods for dealing with medical emergencies. There might be a good way to improve response times of medical teams, and thus maybe save lives.
Also, health screening might be practical. It seems a shame to lose a national figure like Mr. Russert to natural causes at only 58 years of age.

Dear Bob Schieffer,
What a very dear and heartfelt message about Tim. No doubt Tim's family will be comforted by the outpouring of messages from all of you who knew him so well. If it comforts folks like me, surely it will them. Happy Father's Day and thank you sir.

Schieffer's words carry much weight, I'm impressed w/ all the praise for Russert here across the board.
