Luke Russert, the Consummate Son
It's only fitting that Today would get the "get" of Luke Russert, the only child of Meet The Press anchor Tim Russert and Vanity Fair writer Maureen Orth, who appeared on the show this morning for a lengthy segment with Matt Lauer. While Russert's colleagues have blanketed NBC, MSNBC, as well as other networks including CNN, with their own tales of what it was like to spend their work and personal hours with Russert, this is the first time somebody from Russert's family has spoken about the tragedy. The well-spoken Luke, of course, is a burgeoning media brand by himself: He's the co-host of XM sports show 60/20 with Tim's friend and colleague James Carville.

LUKE WAS FABULOUS THIS MORNING, HIS FATHER WOULD HAVE BEEN SO PROUD, SO WELL SPOKEN, IT WAS VERY TOUCHING WHEN HE SPOKE OF HIS GRANDFATHER, BIG RUSS, IT'S SUCH A LOSS.
Oh sweet jesus, enough already. The guy is dead - it happens every day - move one…..and of course this kid is where he is because of his merits, because i know so many 22 year olds that have their own satellite radio station……guess having Orth and Russert as parents ain't such a bad thing….
