snip:
Luke Russert's decision to leave NBC News shocked TV newsrooms and Congressional offices when it was announced on Wednesday.

I guess he needs to figure out how having a "name" doesn't mean you have any talent. Try again Luke. I'm sure Faux News would welcome you. Now, if you could only get Chuck Toad to go with you.

1. Probably pouting that he doesn't have his own show yet. MSNBC doesn't appreciate him enough.

Stephanie Ruhle was the last straw.

2. There is something more to this story and the reason he is departing.

Political journalists don't simply up and quit during the final few months of a presidential election year.

3. You're probably on to something there.

5. He seemed upset

when reporting on the Dem gun control sit-in last month

[Motley13]

4. Certainly not a chip off the block

I guess I didn't much like him 'cause I compared him to Tim

The Newseum in Wash DC has Tim's entire office set up. If you go to DC, I highly recommend the Newseum.

I do like Chuck Todd

[Orrex]

6. Wait... You like Chuck Todd?

I didn't know that was possible.

[Motley13]

11. I'll bite, what do you have against Chuck Todd?

[Gabi Hayes]

13. take it one step backward.........do you know how daddy's use by the WH

was described, under oath, by a Bush staffer during the unraveling of the Scooter Libby fiasco?

if you did, you wouldn't be saying that about that guy.

yeesh

[Motley13]

14. Please enlighten me

n/t

[Gabi Hayes]

17. tell you what....as your DU initiation, you can use their google

option right here.

you can think of some appropriate question strings with the words (I have the BEST words!) from my post. there are innumerable references to that travesty. I have to go to bed. if you have no luck, somebody here can help, or I can do it for you tomorrow.

you'll be amazed at what a tool he was; CERTAINLY nothing like the supposedly admirable journalist he pretended to be.

this will take about 19 seconds; here's how he's viewed by most here...there are better ones, but this was the quickest find:

15. he's the guy that said the media isn't responsible for fact checking people... just lazy minded

[Joe the Revelator]

12. Chuck Todd is the only journalist that emailed me back when I sent him a letter complaining about

his coverage. It gave me some respect for him.

[spooky3]

16. I really like the Newseum too. You can spend hours there.

[cwydro]

7. Two days notice?

Something more to this.

[Hekate]

8. It was nice of them to give him his first job after his dad died so suddenly...

... but it was too prominent for someone I still think of as "Luke Russert, Cub Reporter." He didn't really grow into it. I wish him well wherever he goes.

9. Bummer....nice guy

[sarcasmo]

10. Will end up as the lead anchor on

Trump TV
