R.I.P. He was one of the few politicos that everyone seemed to like.

He was a perfect example of a fair, balanced and honest journalist. One of the few, and the only one who comes to mind. The world of journalism has lost one of the best. News watching Americans have lost an honest and powerful voice.

Yes, the old-fashioned kind of journalist. May God be with you, Mr. Russert.

God bless Tim Russert and God bless his family. Tim was the only journalist in my recent memory that demonstrated the genuine fair and balanced interview process and news reporting that we all desire and expect. Tim will be sorely missed and the nation is diminished by the loss of him.

Sadly, now NBC will give the job to a liberal moonbat like Chris Matthews or Keith Overbite

NBC has gone all left 24/7 and Tim was the last of the semi objective Dems they had on the payroll

Leave it to NBC's "objective" reporters to fight it out for Tim's job


CABLE GUYS LUST FOR TIM'S JOB

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.

According to our spy, "Chris, with his loud voice, was going over a pitch for Tim's job. He was saying, 'You know, Tim's thing was this, and my thing is that.' It was unbelievably tacky."

But Matthews told Page Six that the man he was with was real-estate developer Bob Monahan and that they were talking about a speech Matthews will give soon to a group of mayors in Gettysburg, Pa.

"We started fighting about it. He wanted me to talk about block grants. I want to give my general political speech," Matthews said. "I swear to God that's what happened."
