A composed, 22-year-old Luke Russert delivered what he termed "my Dad's last speech" at funeral services in Washington, D.C., Wednesday for powerhouse journalist Tim Russert. The elder Russert, longtime host of NBC's Meet the Press, died Friday of a heart attack at age 58. "My dad was my best friend," said the younger Russert, who acknowledged wondering if he were capable of speaking at the service. "Well dad, I am the man for this job." Speaking for his father, he advised parents, journalists and politicians to be their best selves. Saying that "we are all a small part of a grand design," Luke told his listeners: "Anyone can withstand anything" – even the loss of a beloved father.
