How many years until Tim Russert qualifies for sainthood? |
|
Is it five years like the Hockey Hall of Fame?
Well, that five years can't come fast enough. :cry:

2. Have they manufactured the *miracles* required for sainthood yet? |
|
IIRC the number required is three for sainthood?
I'm sure Tim listed at LEAST one grandiose *gesture* that would qualify in his book, didn't he? :sarcasm:

6. I think he needs 3 confirmed miracles: perhaps aiding the two elections of G. Bush |
|
and helping prepare the public for the Iraq invasion may qualify? It was certainly miraculous that an idiot like Bush could have got elected at all so Russert must be given some credit for that. Likewise America abandoning all principle and wreaking war and havoc on a country that had done nothing to us is a bit of a miracle, I guess.

See, John Lennon said the Beatles were bigger than Jesus. You may have missed it, but it was in all the papers, and is a cultural reference known, I thought, by just about everybody. The OP was making a JOKE based loosely on that event. Not everything that is posted is to be taken literally.

Are you sure?
Well, wow.
I'm so grateful for your edification. I'd be hardpressed to go on living without that enlightenment.
Now, having lived through the time of the Beatles, and remembering quite clearly what happened when John said that, I would also appreciate it if you'd further clarify for me how the OP was funny.
Thank you.
