Tim Russert dead

Rambo, I think your comments are fine.. but that human powered car/bike idea is completely nuts.

RP, why do you comment on these subjects when you have no idea who these folks are? I mean if you are too busy or uninterested to know who Tim Russert is/was then why comment on his death?

I wonder the same thing too, it's a valid question, not trying to be rude but I have wondered the same thing.

read my posts and figure it out (Instead of reading into them). I didn't comment on his death, as is apparently thought by the two of you.

my first post was about "political tv", somewhat on topic, and not related to him, at least, directly.

My subsequent posts were in reply to my post(s) (like this one). if you dont' wnat me to reply, they why ask me a question in a post. maybe a PM would be more appropriate?

Not saying we don't want you to reply, but in a lot of posts your responses have nothing to do with the original post, that's all. Just wondering why.

Rambo, not to be rude, but I've been wondering that too. You (and Paully to a lesser extent) seem to take pride in coming to a thread about a political person or entertainer, and posting basically, "I have no idea who this person is". If you don't know, then why not just skip the thread or google it or look it up on wikipedia?

I did look him up, adn I was familiar with him. you guys are making the off-topics continue. I merely made a comment about political TV (which IS on the topic of this thread)

Rambo, you do have to admit that you do this alot (posting in threads that you have not idea who or what the thread is about).

A quick and easy solution i like to use when something is on TV that i dont really care to see is to simply.....Not watch it!.......crazy huh!?

I thought, by Sunday, the coverage went too far. Look, TV is a bandwagon medium. You can't get caught NOT doing what everyone else is doing. NBC folks were rightly and deeply shocked and grieved. I can understand NBC following this as they did, even on MSNBC. And, for the day on Friday, I can understand CNN and Fox doing their thing with it. Beyond there, it was not a story deserving coverage beyond NBC and the Meet The Press show. But, TV being what it is, we can't be too surprised. Add to that the element of self importance of the TV journalism class of society, and you've got a recipe for wall-to-wall Russert-Is-Dead.

I felt by the time they got through on Saturday that Russert himself would've said, "You know, guys, that's just enough already."
