Plucked from the frat house and placed into prime-time, with the expected results.

I've yet to hear an enlightening or intelligent observation come from his mouth.

If he wasn't Tim Russert's son, he'd be doing the weather on the local station in my podunk town.

I never thought he was ready for his position, but after that insultingly naive question he lobbed at Pelosi about her age I really can't listen to him or watch him at all any more. Tune him right out and I know I'm not missing an valuable insight.

...as if he knew the man. Speaker Foley served while little Luke was still pushing pampers. It was real awkward...but I blame Mrs. Greenspan for putting him on the show...

He IS getting better, but shows his GOP leanings when he says stuff like "we" when he's talking about the GOP holding the house.

The one who was hurt most (professionally) by Timmeh Russert's death was Chuckie Toad.. he was the "office son" being mentored by Russert, but when Tim died suddenly, Gregory was vaulted ahead of him. Todd got his own show, but he was being groomed to take over MTP..

Little Russert was lucky that his Dad was so well liked.. He got a chance most never get..
