1. I love Wonkette. Fine snarkasm.

[Kalidurga]

2. I don't know who Luke Russert is other than a passing aquantaince

with who his dad was. But, the pic looks awesome.

[Arugula Latte]

3. Now THAT is awesome.

4. What's up with Luke Russert, anyway?

So far I've read a lot of negative comments here about him, but I don't know too much about the guy aside from how he sometimes subs in for Ari Melber on The Cycle.

[hifiguy]

5. He's as pure an example of sheer nepotism trumping talent

as can be imagined. If his name were Luke Jones he'd be the weekend fill-in sports guy on a 5,000 watt radio station in East Jesus, North Dakota.

[pscot]

6. But that isn't his fault

That's the way the world wags now days. The country is run by legacy elites. We have a ruling class.

[rpannier]

7. But he talks and acts like he made it on his own

rather than riding daddy's overrated coat tails

8. I predicted this BS. MSNBC dosen't care, as long as you're

saving my money for a nice vacation. Netflix and internet is all one need.

feel better.

9. I'll take 2!

[Stellar]

10. Do they come in yellow only?

Then I might just buy only one.

11. NBC tribute to Tim?

The loss of Tim Russert was devastating to the news division and to the faithful of MTP, hiring and mentoring Luke imo appears to be a way to maintain the connection to his father and his enormous contributions to NBC.

If Luke is not up to par, needing to do the local news and journalist road to the big time, rather than carte blanche to the adults' table, blame the news division and their president.

16. smae folks who hired jennq bush, chelsea, and iirc abby

Huntsman and I think toots McCain (whatshername, johns daughter).
Bribing the parents for access, obviously, except for lukies case, which I find puzzling...

[tooeyeten]

23. How's that puzzling?

Tim was the "golden boy" loved and respected by colleagues and politicians, of all stripes. But further, he's young, fresh, and he appeals to the new young demographic, and if you're over 50(no offense) his hire is not for you, I suspect.

[Ineeda]

13. Holy Dog!

Todd, Scarborough, AND Little Lukie? Where do they keep the airsick bags?

[immoderate]

15. It's like "the sun never sets on 'Law and Order'"

It's always on some station.

18. Haha!

[flamingdem]

20. Whadda schmuck

I'll admit he is getting better at his job. That just means he'll be more effective for the right though.

[kairos12]

21. Epitome of the smarmy fratboy.
