Are we really stuck with Luke Russert forever?

[PCIntern]

I know...I can always changed the channel...so maybe Ill watch FOX or CNN...I don't think so...
Watching him moderate the MSNBC discussions is like Junior High Student Council Meetings...

1. Bullshit will get you far in life...

...but only *so* far. I predict that at some point TPTB at the network (that includes the parent company) will tire of this no-talent 'legacy' and find something more suitable for his 'talents,' although he'd probably even fuck up an order of coffee.

"You can only sleep your way to the 'middle'.

2. He's not just "bad", he's cringe-inducing...

I'd dearly love to deliver a little "dope smack" to whomever decided to give him more air time on MSNBC. He needs to go back to training wheels until he gains some skills (and knowledge). And, no that isn't a slam against his age. Plenty of those his age and younger have the skills, maturity and understanding to handle the job--but they were not "legacy" babes and had to work for it.

3. Yes

As absurd as it is, his father's legacy carries that much weight to the self important twits that constitute the main stream media.

He also, like Chuck Todd, was smart enough to sell out VERY quickly to the marching orders of the "liberal media" to always knock democrats and always defend republicans.

5. Did you see him in the Green Jacket he bought to wear with Bubba?

and Luke liked Bubba's hair because "the higher ups made me cut mine. Live free, man."

6. In the case of Mike Wallace the fruit fell far far away from the tree with son Chris.

Now the Russerts the "anti Mike Wallace" are much closer when you look at the fruit. Yes NBC is stuck with the little prick until Fox welcomes him into the fold and needs the last name.

7. He is the man-child who gives lie to the notion that "bimbo" is sexist.

[LiberalFighter]

8. MSNBC needs to kill him off slowly before dumping him.

They need to slowly but not too slowly reduce his air time and then put him out to pasture and out of sight for a long enough time so that when he is let go other stations except local stations won't be interested in him. And Fox doesn't want him either.

9. Watch Bill Press & Stephanie Miller

On Current in the morning - it's so wonderful NOT to have to watch Dead Intern or giggling Soledad.

10. If Luke Russert's last name was Smith

he'd be the fill-in weekend sports guy on a radio station in the middle of North Dakota. Nepotism sucks.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

11. Even that is giving him too much credit. nt

[ellenfl]

12. you betcha! eom

[TroglodyteScholar]

13. Why watch cable news at all?

Luke is cut from the same cloth as any of those boneheads.
