Luke is a little snot who only has his job because of who his father was. Would he have ever asked one of the male congressional members if they are too old for a leadership role? I think not.

He's (IMO) a rather undeserving, no-talent that would never be in attendance at any "presser" if his last name wasn't Russert.

Very nice Nancy.

Being older is tough enough without these little punks putting us out early.
Some of the male members have shirts older than Russert. Ask them if they are too old.
The twitter mentality shines through. Think it, put it out, apologize later.

Sounds like the pipsqueak had it coming. GOOD! He should go to Topeka or Temecula or someplace and do a few years covering local news before he steps up the the network level. I guess his only apprenticeship has been sitting at his father's knee.
Watching luke russert PISSES ME OFF! I can think of DOZENS of my own colleagues who've been toiling in the back of the vineyard for years, building sources, credibility, expertise, who would, on their worst days, be better than he is. And some of them are out of work. FAR more deserving than this little princeling. If he can ever get past his own "birthright complex" or sense of entitlement based on who his father was, MAYBE he might develop into something. But I really resent seeing a pipsqueak like him getting one of those big jobs - that you ordinarily would have to spend years building toward, in your own career - when there are others out there who are FAR more experienced, competent, and DESERVING.

(8,053 posts)Pelosi is right: I seriously doubt that russert has the balls to say some shit like that to Mitch McConnell or any of those grey beards in his party.
