BREAKING (wind): Did Tim Russert let one rip during election night coverage? [Karl]

Best Week Ever has the video.  It sure sounds like flatulence, but given how much MSNBC normally sounds like flatulence, it is hard to be sure.  Oliver Stone may need to go Zapruder on the clip before we get to the bottom of it, so to speak.

    I don’t hear nothing. Crappy Dell speakers. I’ll have to check it out on my Mac.

    I saw/heard that last night on TV. I suspect Russert had a LaBamba super-burrito with extra beans right before going on set.

    What’s the big deal?

    Chris Mathews farts through his mouth every day and nobody seems to care….

    Russert was going for the flatulence demographic. MSNBC should re-think their marketing strategy.

    BJ – Olberdouche has already cornered that market.

    I thought it was gregory agreeing with him — hmm or mmm or something like that

    Definitely the sound of wind breaking supressed somewhat by a well cushioned executive chair.. A deep, lusty trumpet though dry..

    Bravo.

    This is nothing unique, though… Keith Olberman flatulated for about 15 minutes staright the other night on his show and managed to punctuate it with the phrase “..and you Sir..” about a dozen times or more..

    Now that’s showmanship…

    Ourboros – Did he burp the alphabet after that ?

    Olby alternates orfices but the product is basically the same.

    Tim’s just talking out his ass again.

    This guy cut one ..

    “I’ll tell you my impression. We really in this last election, when I say we…the Democrats, I think pushed it as far as we can to the end of the fleet, didn’t say it, but we implied it. That if we won the Congressional elections, we could stop the war. Now anybody was a good student of Government would know that wasn’t true. But you know, the temptation to want to win back the Congress, we sort of stretched the facts…and people ate it up.”

    Woof.

    Ourboros – 6 of one, half dozen of the other.

    I recently read a story about Oblberman throwing a hissy fit and noisily pounding the table in the adjoining studio, because he thought David Gregory was getting too much air time.

    Maybe that farting sound was Olberman in the wings doing armpit farts at Gregory.

    I smell stale, partially digested buffalo wings. MSNBC’s election coverage is really on the “skids”.

    Nice trouser cough, Tim.

    Rumor has it Dan Rather used to shart himself during every broadcast. Being the professional he was, he still wouldn’t skip a beat. Much to the dismay of Ed Bradley…and his washing machine.

    #2: LOL, I can’t even read the rest of the comment thread. I am done in by the La Bamba Superburito. LOL.
