The world loses a great man
I was stunned today when my wife sent a text message that Tim Russert had died. Unfortunately, it was true. Ironically I share two alma maters with Tim - JCU and Cleveland-Marshall College of Law. I met Tim only once and only to shake hands at a John Carroll University event. I don’t know of another public figure with Tim’s absolute integrity, respect and passion.

Well, Michael, if you consider a promoter of the war against Iraq a “great man”, it’s up to you. I don’t, and I find extremely difficult to justify that statement. Besides, Russert also insisted on TV that Bush didn’t lie on WMD. If you try to excuse Russert on Bush’s deception, well, I won’t buy it, because 100 million Americans + the whole world knew it was about oil, so there is no way in hell Russert couldn’t know.

I think your comment is quite jaded and biased. Whether you disagree with an opinion or view he held does not change the man Tim was and the positive impact he’s had on the U.S.
