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.

Well his father was a clown, I see the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
LOL!

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!
