Tim Russert: 1950 - 2008


Tim Russert: 1950 - 2008




MSNBC is reporting that Tim Russert, NBC News’ Washington bureau chief and the moderator of “Meet the Press, has died today of a heart attack after collapsing at NBC's Washington news bureau. He was 58 years old.

Not to mention a huge Buffalo Bills fan. He even invoked god at one point to help the Bills beat the Cowboys in the Super Bowl.

I'll try to collect the links as they show up. They're talking about him right now on MSNBC if you can tune in.

The green monster: McCain's terrible speech




Marc Ambinder: "I wish I had a screen grab... but the green background is very weird and very jarring. On this stage, theatrics matter."

Matt Yglesias
notes: "...it's interesting that he's shifted his aesthetic from his old black and white 'fascist' aesthetic to a new green and white Islamofascist aesthetic."

Andrew Sullivan: "From the re-branded green background to the silly attempt to capitalize on Democratic divisions to the Clintonian cooptation of an Obama meme - "a leader we can believe in" - McCain's opening gambit in the general election was, in my judgment, underwhelming."

Atrios: "It'll make you look like the cottage cheese in a lime jello salad. Always a good look for an older gentlemen... The aesthetics of McCain's speech, just mercifully completed before a slightly energized crowd of literally dozens, was awesome in how dreadful it was. No matter what Harold Ford thinks, who was somehow thoroughly moved by lime-jello McCain.
