The screenshot of an email from NBC management said "It is with mixed emotions that I share the news that Luke Russert has decided to leave NBC News to take time away from political reporting and to pursue other interests."
Does 'mixed emotions' mean partly glad to see him go?
Back in September of 2014, Driftglass recorded Luke Russert's rise to the role of panel member on Meet the Press:
Boldly gambling that Wingnut Red will be the high fashion color for at least these next two years of gridlock, sabotage and impeachment, Shuck Todd -- the Beltway Avenger's New Team Leader -- has boldly assembled a bold, new team to boldly confront the challenge of rebooting NBC's rotten-to-the-orlop flagship!
With boldness!
