Luke Russert, son of renowned journalists Maureen Orth and the late Tim Russert, was anointed a prince of the D.C. press after his legendary father died. Then he left town to figure out what he really wanted.
In this case, the avuncular wise man was John A. Boehner, then the Republican speaker of the House.
What’s a fairy tale without a quest? Sometime after Boehner’s intervention, Russert stepped out of his father’s shoes and booked it to faraway lands for some three years of nearly continuous continent-crossing travel. And when we say he booked it, we do mean that literally. Because Russert has come back from his odyssey in a very Washington way: with a book to sell.
The problem was that, after he seized that opportunity, it kept pulling him in a direction that, over time, he wasn’t sure he wanted to go. cringe in the book, too — most notably when he tours Angkor Wat, the vast Buddhist temple complex, and learns the story of Prince Siddhartha.
