I'm so sad. I loved Tim Russert. He was like a kid in a candy store when it came to politics. I'll miss him and his wipe board. Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad

Yeah, I was shocked. He seemed so vibrant. He's younger than my parents!

All the oldie media icons are leaving or dying. Now, we just have Anderson Cooper, the emo correspondent.

What's hard is to watch the people he worked with and was friends with have to report on his death. Seeing Tom Brokaw and my hunny Matt Lauer get teary eyed and choked up makes me so sad.

HAHAHAHA!!!! Laughing That is so funny. First off, I think "emo" is the funniset insulting term ever. I could sooo be a bully to emos if I were back in school. "Nice pants, EMO!!! Go cry in the dark!"
But to hook the words emo and Anderson Cooper together? Now that's priceless. I can't stand him!

Dh heard that word on TV the other day and I was laughing so he asked what an emo was. I tried to describe it to him and my best description was the invisible sister Violet on the Incredibles movie.

Hey! I was totally emo girl in high school. And I still could have kicked your perky ass, I bet. Wink

Honestly, I'm so out of the political TV loop, I thought Russert was a conservative until I saw who was sad about him dying. LOL! I just never have time to watch TV anymore. I even lost track of my beloved Lost this past season. Oh well.
