Luke Russert....

[WCGreen]

26 years old and anchoring a morning news program.

I know, I know it has been said before, but seriously, does a kid right out of college get a shot at the big time if his name is Stan Kowalski...

To me that tells me that the people at MS NBC take the news so lightly that they think a kid with a famous name and probably no real perspective is aok to bring home the news....


Adding this, Russert totally lost control of the two people talking at each other and over each other.

1. lucky sperm club winner.

not very talented. C ute can only go so long

[ellenfl]

2. he's not ready for primetime . . . or morning time. he's also a rmoney apologist. eom

[WCGreen]

3. Saw that just now...

[Stinky The Clown]

4. Lots people here on DU don't like it when we say such things.

A while back I posted pretty much the same thing you did and caught a round of shit from a certain identifiable DU sect.

Bon chance!

[WCGreen]

5. It's my opinion and all I really need to say....

What bothers me most is we don't even have anything approaching a meritocracy especially in one of the most high exposure industry.

9. Really? About Russert in particular?

He's just terrible, and such a blatant case of nepotism, I'm surprised he'd have a fan club at DU.

[Stinky The Clown]

10. Its not so much a fan club as a sect of DUers who delight in opposing the topic du jour . . . .

. . . . for the sport of it.

[democrat_patriot]

6. He's losing control of the show - just an out of control argument

"Luke....You're not your father."

7. MSNBC trying to appeal to younger viewers. Good luck

with that MSNBC. I bet their "under 30" viewers are very minimal.

[malaise]

8. How about the RNC lunatic shouting above

everyone else.

Luke is pathetic

[railsback]

15. Looked like that dude was going to burst a blood vessel

or a thousand.

[alcibiades_mystery]

11. I like when people call him the "Tater Tot..." on account of the Russert...

[JHB]

12. Lukey is the poster boy for "we're NOT a 'meritocracy'"...

...especially when talking about Washington media figures.

You're not exceptional, kid. Exceptions have been made for you. Don't blow all of dad's money before you discover that the hard way.

[PatSeg]

13. I can't watch an entire hour of Little Russert

It is much too uncomfortable. He reminds me of a 12 year old who gets to sit at the grown-up table for the first time and tries to talk like an adult.

After his dad died, he was given a job that was way beyond his abilities. I can't believe someone(s) at MSNBC still is trying to push him on us.

[hifiguy]

14. would be the fill-in weekend sports guy on a 5000-watt

radio station in East Jesus, North Dakota were his last name not Russert.

[liberalhistorian]

16. I haven't heard that "East Jesus" town expression

for a long time; my stepdad used to say that all the time, lol!

[One of the 99]

17. Russert's dad helped sell an illegal war to the American people

that other people's children had to go and fight while Luke got cushy internships with Conan O'Brien and NBC News.

19. +1

[Mosaic]

18. Russert is wrong wing

Just listen to him. He's corporate rw establishment all the way. A total sell out, immature, and nepotistic asshole.

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. Well I never liked his dad either

I turn the channel when this little pipsqueak comes on.
