How many more cookies do we have to give to David Gregory for standing up to Bush in a few press conferences? He's cool and all, and dances like no one's watching, etc. But he's not that compelling as a political talk show host.
Meh, sorry to post this, as this is one of those things from the Bush years that I literally cannot bring myself to watch ever. However, David Gregory deserves to be associated with it, constantly, for being an asswipe.
@eatsshootsleaves: Wow, I didn't even see your post, but this is always what I think of when I picture this jerkwad. As I said in my other comment, it makes me want to choke him. Also I want to yell at him for so many things, one of them being misappropriation of culture, another being "Why didn't you condemn these assholes before they raped our country's constitution and environment?!" What a waste. I hope Meet the Press goes down in flames.
On this past election night I was at a party and Gregory, on MSNBC, mentioned to his fellow pundits that he was 38. The entire party went silent as we all looked at each other with one of those "really?" moments. Except for the premature gray, I'm not sure why I (and everyone else I know) always thought he was older.
Regardless, 38 years old and moderator of Meet The Press ... not bad.
David Gregory is going to make the show unwatchably dull. His only redeemable quality is that he looks like a muppet, and that's simply not enough to make me watch.
@GirlyWhirl: I love Chuck Todd, but I can't see him hosting this show. Gregory is somewhat dull, in a cute sorta way. But, Todd is hmm... I don't want to say he's a rebel, but compared to the other standard pundits, he's a rebel. Meet the Press has an older, more boring audience. Todd should get his own show. In fact, w/a little tweaking he could easily make 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. his own. Or nix that show completely and give him one that's his and only his!
I was just hoping my Sundays were about to get a little sexier because I have a mad crush on Chuck Todd. He's just so... not just fuckable but... marriable. Something about him makes me want to put on an apron and learn how to bake something.
He's the perfect choice, a reliable repeater of conventional Beltway wisdom, with a knack for tongue-bathing Republicans and asking Democrats why liberals hate their country so much.
I have to laugh at the incident 2 or 3 years ago, where Gregory got some sort of reputation as a slightly-not-completely-in-the-tank... stenographer for war propaganda. The WH was briefing the docile press on their flying unicorn initiative that would decisively win the Iraq war, and Gregory bravely said, "C'mon! Everyone knows unicorns can't fly!"
Somehow that got Gregory a rep as a maverick reporter. When in fact, he's the dullest Village monkey they could have got.
