I bet that Tim Russert was a very nice guy.  And it is sad that he died so 
young.  But go look at his interviews with Dick Cheney.  The first interview 
leading up to the war, he should have asked at least a few tough questions. 
Well, he was a wimp in every sense of the word.  it was embarrassing to 
watch it.  It was a propaganda-fest for Cheney and the Administration.  I 
was angry.  I was disgusted.  If the Media had done even a half-assed job, 
there wouldn't have been justification to bomb Iraq.  The second interview, 
Cheney's numbers had hit bottom and there had been all that scuttle about 
cherry-picking and outing Valarie Plame.  THEN Russert asked a few tough 
questions.   Too little, too late.   Instead of spending sooo much time on 
Tim Russert, why not pay attention on the dead and dying in Iraq.
