iReport —

I graduated in the class of 2004 and I was so jealous to hear the

class of 2005 got Tim Russert as their graduation speaker.

Tim was one of the few great journalist left in an era of

shock journalist who spin the news for their own agenda and

ratings. I never got the impression that Tim cared about ratings or

party differences. The only thing Tim cared about were the issues

and getting the bottom of a story so the American people could

understand what was going on with their country and our elected

officals.

It was evident from way Tim acted on Meet the Press that he

was representing the people of america and deep down he was just a

normal dude like you and I. I would have loved to see him speak at

my graduation because I could only imagine would a great speech it

was. The SJU class of 2005 had a great man give them guidance they

could live by for the rest of their lives.

My heart goes our to his family and friends. God has a way of

taking the good one way too early.
