Guest guest Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Tim Russert's passing, IS on topic to this list, after all! - Lenny From the Age of Autism list http://tinyurl.com/5fsyob DAVID KIRBY: RIP TIM RUSSERT Tim_russertBy Kirby Tim Russert was the kindest journalist I ever met, and being on his show was the highlight of my career. I will never forget his humanity, compassion, intelligence and open mind. His passing is a huge loss for America, democracy, and the world. In his honor, I reprint here my take on appearing on Meet the Press, from the Huffington Post. My Take on Tim Posted August 9, 2005 Don't tell Arianna, but I like Tim Russert. Yes, I am extremely biased, on account of Russert inviting me onto his prestigious show and holding up a copy of my book, " Evidence of Harm, " to a bleary eyed, Sunday morning America. And yes, I agree that Russert could go further and hit harder at times in his follow-up questions and cross-examinations of leading political figures. But in my humble opinion, I think he did a terrific job last Sunday on " Meet the Press. " He is to be commended for bringing this serious and urgent debate to the prominence that I, for one, believe is merited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
