When did the word "diss" become journalistic? (Russert)

[truthseeker1]

I had to rewind my TiVo the other day when I thought I heard Tim Russert ask Richard Clarke if he had "dissed" the President. My ears didn't fail me. God, I nearly fell off the couch!!

Hilarious.....what's next? the Tahizzle in the schmizzle?

1. That should convince anyone that Russert is a wretched journalist

2. Russert is NOT a journalist. He's an Imperial Scribe

As such, what he says cannot be construed as "journalistic".

3. never...n/t

4. I caught that too

Couldn't help but laugh.

5. Jon Stewart had that clip on...

He spent about three minutes making fun of it.
God, I love Jon!

We hurt ourselves when we diss other countries, something to that effect

8. Funny. You aren't referring to Russert as a journalist, are you?

10. Gee, you guys are right. My error : - )

11. I did a double take on that one, too.

I was sitting in front of the TV thinking ... "Did he just say 'dissed'??? No, I couldn't have heard that right!"

Then my roommate said, "Russert just said 'dissed'!" LOL
