Seriously, who could actually replace him and NOT reduce watchability?
There isn't anyone.
Maybe the voices aren't real, but, they've got some pretty good ideas...

I think they will try nunerous temporary fillins.  Russert worked for Democratic Officials but you would never know it as he rolled up his sleeves at the start of the show and grilled every guest... politely.  I wouldn't mind (and I may prefer it) if a polical insider got the job as long as they tasked their guests with a "take no prisinors style" and can think outside the box a bit.

It would be interesting to see how the old house leader "Newt" would do.  I'm not saying they should hire him but he might make for a very informative and thought provoking show.

They have to take their time and try lots of people.  The new person will be unfairly compared to Tim and they need to let the dust settle to give the new person a fair shot at winning over a spoiled audience. :'(

I'm doubtful of his ability to put his opinions aside and be objective, but there's no doubt of his intelligence and grasp of the issues.

Also not sure of his interviewing skills.  He does have a teaching background, but not sure if it would translate.

I agree that the best option would be to have a rotating try out, as it were.  But they don't have forever to try different people..ratings matter.

Wouldn't surprise me to see Tom Brokaw take it, at least for the short term.

Dead in 1966 while sitting in front of the TV.  Found in 2008.

QuoteA police spokesman said: "So far, we have no idea how it is possible that someone officially reported missing so long ago was not found before in the same apartment she used to live in.

"When officers went there, they said it was like stepping into a place frozen in time.

"The cup she had been drinking tea from was still on a table next to the chair she had been sitting in and the house was full of things no one had seen for decades. Nothing had been disturbed for decades, even though there were more than a few cobwebs in there."
An ad hominem fallacy consists of asserting that someone's argument is wrong and/or he is wrong to argue at all purely because of something discreditable/not-authoritative about the person or those persons cited by him rather than addressing the soundness of the argument itself.

Ouch.  This one sucks. Normally, I'm a fleshpophead about death.  But I hate to be the first to report this death.

Dude. This is not cool.

You're right. It belongs in the good riddance thread. Farger hasn't put on a decent show in at least twenty years.

The man. The myth. The legend.

Very bad things need to happen to you.

Mister Conductor will be missed.
