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".

Some of our "lore" began there with the irreverent Bart.

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.
