Keith, that ukulele rendition of Over The Rainbow was performed by the late great Israel "Iz" Kamakawiwo'ole, one of the most talented and beloved Hawaiian artists of our time. He and Tim are definitely in Paradise right as we speak, rejoicing in their common love of good music. Mahalo Keith, for all you've done at MSNBC in tribute to TJR.

The version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" played at the Kennedy Center service for Tim Russert is by the Hawaiian artist Israel Kamakawiwo'ole (also known as "Iz"), on the CD "Facing Future". And in the photo on the cover of the CD, Iz is facing a rainbow.

Peace.

Keith, I just wanted to thank you for your "go Bills" sign-off on tonight's (6/18/08) "Countdown". I'm always impressed with the personal touches you put to your show and the coverage you present; this one made me cry. So, again, thank you. Sundays are going to be very strange without Tim.

Oh Keith, that's not cornball at all. Of course that was Tim, he was just letting everyone know he made it home okay. It is our loss but his gain.

I will miss him too & my condolences go out to you, the NBC family, his family & friends.

There was a double rainbow over the NJ Parkway tonight. My guess is that it stretched from the Beltway to Buffalo.
Rest in Peace, Tim Russert.

The song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" which was played yesterday at the conclusion of Tim Russert's Memorial Service, was written by Harold Arlen, a most famous composer and lyricist from ... Buffalo, New York!

Elvis sang it, among others, and it certainly applies to Tim Russert. "There will be peace in the valley for me."

To be quite honest, Keith, I don't think Mr. Limbaugh is nearly as funny as you.

Keith,
I am even suprised at you lack of covering the 35 articles of impeachment that Dennis Kucinich inlisted on Monday, and further more his threat to the Judiciary Committee, that if they don't decide on the articles within a month he will inlist 60 more articles of impeachment against Bush, and Cheney. Come on Ketih, We all hold you to a higher standard than the other Media Heads out there.

Dynamite No. 3 story -- keep 'em coming! The more of this nonsense that is exposed the better -- we need people to wake up to just how evil these *97#@% are.

I have no idea how I'm going to make it through this campaign without Tim. I really enjoyed watching him work and appreciated his ability to get to the facts. I will miss his smiling face. He always made me feel as though everything was going to be alright. I would love to see the Bills wear his initials on their helmets to honor him. Heaven is richer because he's there.

I think Keith is funny too, but I'm going out on a limb and guessing not in the same way that Full Moon "thinks" Keith is funny.
