Who started calling Russert "Timmeh?" |
|
I've seen him called "Timmeh" for a while here and at other blogs. I just wondered when that started and who started it. Anyone know?

2. I think it started after one of the debates - |
|
But it sure stuck - I could never look at him again without thinking Timmeh.

6. Probably SouthPark - Thanks all! |
|
I just wondered if there was one media person - like "Tweety" - who started calling Russert "Timmeh".

5. MOST of our nicknames come from BartCop |
|
Such as 'media whores,' "tweety" and many more.

9. Remember the animated gif of Russert that Bartcop |
|
used to put up during the Great Clinton Trouser-Snake Hunt years? Russert was always hot & bothered about the Clenis.
