Who doesn't love bloopers? Or bloppers, for that matter?

Tim is such an obese blob and gelatinous pantload that the word blopper should stick.

Russert must have been talking about shining the balls of one his Republican pundits that he loves having on so much. I mean, why not? He spends so much time kissing their asses, why not offer full service? LOL

Shine his helmet perhaps?!? :P

SK's picture

It just goes to show why he doesn't even know the stories that they themselves report on. Fat bastard.

I'm sorry but I can't watch the Russdog without thinking of the sausages on the grill that swell and swell and finally burst, usually causing a flare up.

Hmm, wonder if that metaphor works.....??

Biggus Diggus's picture

I keep thinking of that hoaky Big Russ Little Russ crap book he was shamelessly hawking on NBC.

Good post. I always enjoy a few bloopers from time to time to lighten the mood a bit and sometimes even uncover some truth. Peace and Thanks.

shine his knob?

Kahoneez's picture

god bless little timmy russert, always think'n bout the little man, wanting to shine his shoes .Now go get your shine box .

Tim Russert's picture

I'll suck your crank, but I won't shine your shoes. I have to draw the line somewhere.

Maybe I'm missing something but this just seems kinda tacky altho I agree with the above comment about Russert shamelessly flogging his self-congratulatory book about recognizing what a great dad he has.

And his constant obsequiousness to any politician who currently holds the upper hand.

A true tele-journalist.

Wow, a blooper like this on national TV is pretty bad. This kind of stuff could get
you fired at a small market station.

The networks must be paying people cheap these days, just like every other business.

BennyP's picture

blah...

snoozer's picture

Can anyone make out exactly what's being said?

PopeTodd's picture

I don't think he was talking about shinning shoes...

makifat's picture

So who was on the show Sunday? I'll damn well bet it was a rethug, otherwise Russ wouldn't have been so quick to offer to lick their shoes...

"I'll do it!!"

Paul's picture

that was completely indecipherable.

monkey knife fight's picture

Anybody got a transcript? I can only make out a word or two above the overlapping noise in the video.

Tracker's picture

Anyone else wondering if this blooper was caused by a mischevous sound tech who knew a *real* news story when he/she heard it?
