SOME hardworking folks at NBC and MSNBC -- who work long hours for little pay -- are wondering, "Where in the world is Luke Russert?"
One insider sniped, "He was hired last year to be the youth correspondent -- he got a great contract and was supposed to cover youth issues, blog and bring in young viewers, but he's been MIA for a while. It's like, 'Well, that's what you get for nepotism.' "

It’ll make him a fine democrat.
Well, this is too bad.
Apparently, the kid is a spoiled brat who has a very high opinion of himself - for no evident reason.
I’m sure he’s well liked in the Washington Bureau. Hah!
The msm good old boy club is working fine thank you.
They're just waiting for the electrode scars on his temples to heal up.
Won’t make a bit of difference. He’ll be promoted over lots deserving young people and become the next host of Meet the dePressed. Happens all the time in Hollywood. All you need is a parent in the business and voila you’re suddenly the next up and coming star.
I saw Luke Russert on MSNBC shortly after his father’s death, and he said, “(So-and-so) was talking with my father and I (sic).” $150K for a Jesuit education, and the kid doesn’t know when to use the objective case of a pronoun. St. Ignatius, pray for us.
Heard he is almost as good and qualified as Keith Olberdork!
How can one Network continue to destroy itself in a most effective way? daddy’s little boy is a screwup! Who woulda guessed?
Just between you and I, I have ran the kid’s remarks through my spell-checker and find them completely apropos.
The kid is also a Democrat, as hardened in that peculiar heresy as his old man was. Were this 1960, no wait, 1950, I would blame it on the Jesuits. But since then, the Jesuits are under the direction of Father Patrick FitzDesmond and Father Desmond FitzPatrick at The Barney Fwank School of Very Public Affairs.

Just between you and I.... deja vu
Will you fellows excuse that multiple post. I am a new Mac user and the damn thing just dances around on line.
Did you check that with your spell checker?!?! :-D
*snicker*
Anyway, I saw the kid on TV a couple of times, and he was a dumb punk. Hiring people based on their last name doesn’t work. Ask a Kennedy.
I HAS ran the kids' remarks through my spel-chek.
Luke thinks he’s worth it to the network. Says the quality of his work could get him in the door as easily as his name.
Now THIS is a king size rationalization. Wow.
Well his father was a clown, I see the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
LOL!
No, silly... You forgot the apostrophe in "remark's"! ;-)
“Just between you and I” should be “... between you and me”.
Lolcats is waiting for royalty check
Wrong-o. Just listen to your TV news. If your minority news reader says between "you and I," I would consider it racist, homophobic, or at least gender-normative, patriarchal, euro-centric, and imperialistic, to say "just between you and me."
He was far from a clown. He was a very important part of a media effort to convince mature white men that it was still OK to be a Democrat.
The role is similar to that played by O'Reilly, the difference being that O'Reilly pretends to be "right-wing," while Russert worked the middle.
Neither, alive or dead, ever voted for a Republican for any office, from Dog Warden to President, and never would.
Works for the one being hired!
