“NBC news reporter Luke Russert said he made a “dumb” misstatement on the Today Show Wednesday when he suggested that smart people supported Barack Obama for president.”

Smart people usually demand more substance so he couldn’t have been more off-base with his idiocy.

Luke learned ILL-MANNERS at his father’s knee. The little PUNK MOCKED Sarah Palin’s voice when she introduced her husband at First Dude....he made me SICK.

When did he get into reporting? Cashing in on daddy’s good name?

I received a link to a Newsweek article yesterday asking what is wrong with “being Elitist”

Good grief.

“Liberal logic: How to win friends and influence others by belittling them”

The irony of it all is that the left frequently calls people on the right stupid, then can’t figure out why they lose elections.

Are we to assume, then, that Luke will be voting for McCain?

Look for MSNBC to give him his own TV show soon.

Young and arrogant; God will straighten this kid out.

NBC news reporter Luke Russert said he made a "dumb" misstatement

What kind of apology is THAT to Republican voters?

Jesse Jackson said the same thing when he referred to New York as Hymietown.

23 years old? This arrogant, pompous “reporter” only got where he is because his Daddy died. Let’s face it. He has the same pro-Obama message that Tim Russert did, and the elitism continues.

“I meant to say that many of the kids who go to UVA are from affluent, highly educated households who are leaning (toward) Obama and hence their kids lean Obama,” he said.

Ha! Well that really clears that up!

Henry Wallace and Adlai Stevenson were supported by the “highly educated and polished” set. Look where that got them.
