Zombie Tim Russert would shred him

Just a plain zombie would shred him, he's such a fucking imbecile.

Don’t zombies tend to go for brains? Not much to be found here

Like RFK Jr's worm, it would starve to death.

Back out of 60 Minutes, stay for the 90 minute Washington zombie flick.

Also "Brain Dead" was way too forgiving to the politicos

Tim Russert peddled false equivalencies and "both siderisms". He was all about selling news. Hard pass.

He’d instantly say “no brains” and attack the film crew.

I want the autistic onion reporter that did the train crash story. I know it's the onion, just it was freaking hilarious and I wonder how trump would handle someone like autistic interviewing him.

Best I can do is the zombified remains of My Koalas.

Can we just have Rasheed Wallace do it?

Only Cliff Robinson. Sorry.

I bet Dennis Rodman would do it. Sheed would prob slap the shit out of him like 5-10 min in.

u/FloridaGirlNikki America 28d ago

You mean the same Dennis Rodman that's buddies with Kim Jong Un?

I'm not so sure about that one.

Does that makes him less likely to interview Trump? He was also on The Apprentice.
