Maureen Orth Still Very Welcome to Plug Her Byline at NBC
Is anyone else a little uncomfortable with Vanity Fair scribe Maureen Orth taking to this morning's Today show to update everyone on the status of her family's mourning over husband Tim Russert's death, while also plugging her article about France's first lady of gossip Carla Bruni. Or maybe the booking was supposed to work the other way around?
On the plus side, Orth's Today appearance is one signal NBC still values its relationship with the late Russert's wife, and gives Vanity Fair reason to keep Orth around, despite them losing The Russert Guarantee that Orth would get booked on NBC's shows.

Enough already of Tim Russert, Maureen Orth and Luke…..
p.s. Tim's still dead…..let's move on people…
PAUL
YES TIM IS GONE. BUT THOSE OF US WHO WATCHED HIM ARE STILL MOURNING AND CARE ABOUT HIS FAMILY. SO WHEN YOU LOOSE SOMEONE THAT IS IN YOUR LIFE ALMOST EVERDAY I'M SURE YOU WON'T WANT TO "MOVE ON" SO QUICKLY. YOU SHOULD BE MORE OF A UNDERSTANDING PERSON LIKE TIM AND ALL THE RUSSERT FAMILY. PS CONGRATS LUKE RUSSERT ON THE NBC DEAL LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING YOU DURING THE ELECTION. MAYBE YOU CAN TEACH PAUL A THING OR TWO. GO BILLS
