Mike Barnicle owes everything to Russert. Russert was the only person nice enough to give him a job after he was fired for plagiarism. This was a nice tribute, but it will pale in comparison to the one given when Keith Overbite Countdown to Zero Ratings goes to meet his maker. Just a case of giving everyone except his 2 dozen fans what they want.
What a beautiful tribute.
Kudos to Mr. Barnacle. Tremendous tribute to a truly great man.
Barnacle gave what I thought was the most touching speech of all, with the exception of Luke Russert. Sister Lucille was an extremely sentimental figure to have on stage. When she I don’t know referred to him as Timmy, it could make your heart melt. What’s so sad is that both she and Big Russ were to have Tim as part of their legacy.
What a beautiful, moving and humorous tribute from a friend.
