And it was unseemly the way young Russert was immediately on TV after his father's death, staking out his claim for covering the youth vote in upcoming elections. Now this. Ain't life grand when you're one of the beautiful people? I thought NBC’s tributes to Tim Russert were way over the top.

He was hired to speak about youth issues during the convention which is actually a GREAT idea. Our youth seem to be disconnected when it comes to politics. Luke's presence may be a good thing. He's not given a free pass..he's got a lot work to do now that he's been announced. He didn’t get hired for the prime spot left vacant by his dad.

Ever. In fact, for the past four years, I've had the kind of position a lot of people in my field would give their left arm for. I work hard for it and I'm very thankful. If you can't see that this is just bald-faced nepotism, I can't help you, because this is one of the most obvious cases of it I've ever seen. Again, I have zero ill will towards this young man or his family. But come ON. It IS nepotism. If he wasn't Tim's son, and Tim hadn't passed away recently, he wouldn't have this job. 22 year olds with a new BA in political science are a dime a dozen.

Sour grapes! I guarantee many more people (including me) will tune in BECAUSE he is Tim Russert's son. Why not just wish him good luck?

But elisha, your point is crazy. So just because you grow up "around" some profession, that's paying your dues? So if your dad is a famous cardiologist, you can just jump in there and start doing bypass surgeries when you're 22 because you grew up with a dad in medicine? Not how it works. Kaiser, you have a good point.

I'm getting tired of these old [white] farts in their 50s & 60s asking "Is Obama one of us?" No, douchebags, Obama's not one of you. That's the goddamn point.
